Comment on Are platforms like reddit just "internet noise" and bots or just genuinely the darkest parts of humanity?

Back in 2014 or so, when reddit was getting bigger but not big enough for the mainstream yet, I noticed a half dozen accounts that would just post on r/toronto, r/chicago, and other popular city subreddits.

All they did was post about crimes committed by visible minorities, and attempt to derail posts about visible minorities being the victims of crimes.

They posted like it was their jobs, but I don’t think they got paid for it. These are people who are so scared of minorities they volunteered a significant amount of their time trying to convince others to be afraid.
