Reddit Part of US Psychological Influence Operation

Lackland Air Force Base houses the 16th Air Force cyberwarfare and psychological warfare programs. Reddit accidentally revealed, in a now deleted blog post that Lackland AFB is host to a number of Reddit power users that'd require every single Airman stationed there to have at least 45 Reddit accounts each, posting once per hour, 24 hours a day on each of those 45 accounts per person.

There's also a paper written in collaboration with Lackland on the potential usage of faked/simulated social pressure and manufactured consensus in addition to heavy moderation to create echo chambers as a method of astroturfing sentiment.
