About a year ago a reddittor analyzed posts on the conservative sub.

The only day the two most active users in Conservative didn't post was November 1st, which happened to be the day of a power outage in Moscow that was the result of a Ukranian drone attack.

Nearly every day, two users on r/Conservative account for more than 30% of new posts. Sometimes exceeding 50%. (6 charts) : r/visualization

That sub is absolutely dead outside of bots/russians. Its not even useful to look at to see where maga is at these days.

It's not just a political issue when 63% of your interactions are with a bot online

Break down the posts on /r/worldnews and you'll see some very pro-Israel posters that post a LOT.

A bit harder to see it with post history private nowadays, but it still happens.

The difference between worldnews and any other sub is quite stark when it comes to a post about Israel/Palestine, you'll find more balanced commentary on pics of all places
