“A local subreddit runs advertisements” implied to me that it was either an individual user posting it or the subreddit mods themselves. Otherwise, specifying that the ads were run in that specific sub seemed unnecessary. Could be wrong, but the OP itself doesn’t seem like a Reddit ad either (single image rather than a webpage or something)
This image is just somebody on the subreddit pointing out the 1488 reference.
The weekly ads posted to the sub are by a different “user”, but I do find it odd that the post asking about the 1488 flyer seems to be permadownvoted, and got brigaded by people claiming the OP was insane for even asking about it. I believe one person claimed OP was “schizophrenic.”
Bc during a time when there’s a guy with a swastika tattoo in the white house, you would clearly have to be “insane” to question if a Jan 6er might feel emboldened enough to run a local ad that served as a dog whistle.
because an actual advert on reddit is not an regular post
I’m not clear from the tweet that the ads are Reddit-generated ads, it seems like someone is posting a photo of the newspaper ad insert.
This isn’t the ad this is a different user who posted about this ad in their newspaper.
Their weekly ad was just posted today.
