Reddit already does some of the most aggressive tracking for surveillance, censors content they don't like, uses shadow bans, is run in an authoritarian way and has a score system that shows how good of a user you are - and reddit users are afraid of China because ...?

Because the media says so. But they forget China increased their quality of life for the last 2 decades by producing cheap products like their iphones.

Reddit has long been plagued with censorship. The CEO edited the post of a user because they criticized him or something. I can't believe how quickly that's been forgotten.

The Reddit situation reminds me of the post about failing to build a billion dollar company a few days ago. Reddit is trying to make VCs happy and continue to grow the business, but a platform like Reddit is best as a less reliant on growth, but stable platform. That allows the most ideas to be shared and the most natural interaction between users. I really think there is space for a competitor, but the switching costs will be high.

Because relative importance is different. Comments like yours show more frequently because people get confused and can't separate different shades of gray.

"It's all the same" is the main message in modern propaganda. Consistent counternarrative is not important. Just muddle things up.
