Screenshot included so you do not have to browse to it. Literally. I'm not even joking. The entire subreddit is 2 days old (founded immediately after the AMA) and populated+moderated exclusively by accounts less than 6 months old following standard generic name schemes and posting comments that reek of chatGPT generated responses.

This is the most hilarious, saddest, most obviously transparent attempt at propaganda astroturfing I have ever seen.

Spez. Get a bloody life, my dude.

I still have mine saved too just incase someone with a time machine goes back and corrects the timeline. /r/OpenSignups was good if you want to get into private trackers but with the whole reddit thing going on that might not be a viable option...
