why are left leaning groups still using reddit? (linux.community)

the most egregious example I can think of is antiwork in reddit. Posters there love to rant against companies, but they also give good advice regarding laws in different states and is a good source to deal with micromanagers and toxic workplaces.

But it's like they simply don't think that reddit is making money with every post they write. It's like they're working for the enemy they so much despise, a large corporation.

It baffles me that people keep posting there. Is the fediverse alternative really that bad?

Because COINTELPRO/PRISM/Five Eyes/Fourteen Eyes/etc

If you want to organize politically, it really helps to not have the Feds just having open season on being able to infiltrate your group and dismantle it from the inside.

At the very fucking least make them work for it.
