The agency, it said, would \u201cmove out aggressively\u201d to improve efficiency, with an \u201cinitial objective\u201d of cutting the work force to 2019 levels.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The next morning, someone posted <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/VeteransAffairs\/comments\/1j49ls2\/reorgrif_memo\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">a copy<\/a> of this \u201creduction in force\u201d memo to a Reddit group called <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/VeteransAffairs\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">VeteransAffairs<\/a>, an online community of 19,000 members. The copy was difficult to follow, a sequence of photos taken of the memo on a screen, but the message was clear enough: Some 80,000 jobs would be cut.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Questions and comments poured in, some bewildered, some frantic. The agency had half a million employees at hospitals, clinics, call lines and regional benefit offices that served veterans across the country. Who would be fired? Was this the end of the V.A.\u2019s medical research? How would this affect wait times for medical appointments?<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">No one had solid answers, just informed speculation. Livelihoods and veterans\u2019 well-being were at stake, so the vibe was somber. But there was still room for dark humor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe gotta pay for Greenland somehow,\u201d one person joked.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Reddit, a bare-bones social media site organized around more than 100,000 niche communities called subreddits, has long catered to people with quirky shared interests, whether <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Bitcoin\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Bitcoin<\/a>, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/flyfishing\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">fly-fishing<\/a> or <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/KeanuBeingAwesome\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">photos of Keanu Reeves being awesome<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It is unlike other social media platforms. Instagram and TikTok offer videos and influencers; Reddit is text-heavy and aggressively unsuited to building star power. Facebook and LinkedIn require real names; anonymity reigns on Reddit, minimizing egos and consequences.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Atlantic recently deemed Reddit possibly \u201c<a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/magazine\/archive\/2025\/04\/reddit-culture-community-credibility\/681765\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">the best platform on a junky web<\/a>.\u201d As other social media sites have fallen prey to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/06\/11\/style\/ai-search-slop.html\" title=\"\">A.I. slop<\/a> and incessant pleas to \u201clike and subscribe,\u201d Reddit has become one of the last places on the internet with authentically human information, community and advice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">For government workers, it has been a lifeline in recent months. With the Trump administration\u2019s rapid downsizing of the federal bureaucracy, subreddits where government workers previously posted the occasional tale about a Zoom meeting mishap or health plan question have become crowded forums for fears, anxieties and tidbits of intra-agency observation. On one subreddit, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/fednews\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">FedNews<\/a>, government employees have been relaying updates about layoffs, a new $1 limit on government credit cards and \u201cwhat did you accomplish last week\u201d emails. It has drawn an influx of <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/imgur.com\/a\/bGqJb7r\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">millions of visitors<\/a> since January, according to internal statistics shared by the subreddit\u2019s creator.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThese individual subreddits let people find niches that work really well for them,\u201d said Sarah Gilbert, a researcher at Cornell University who focuses on online communities. \u201cThat\u2019s happening on FedNews, where people are using that space to come together and talk to other people who are experiencing similar trauma.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A participant on FedNews recently wrote a post <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/fednews\/comments\/1ic5hxr\/supervisor_told_us_to_stop_posting_on_reddit\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">saying<\/a> a supervisor had told employees to stop \u201cleaking\u201d information on Reddit. \u201cDON\u2019T STOP, the people deserve to know,\u201d added the author, who, like almost all Reddit users, employed a pseudonymous online handle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">(The Department of Veterans Affairs did not respond to a request for comment.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Not using your real name makes it easier to share information or vent frustrations without further imperiling one\u2019s career prospects. But anonymity can also breed misinformation, misbehavior and vitriol.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That\u2019s where people like David Carson come in. Mr. Carson, 53, an Army veteran and former employee of the V.A. who lives in Mount Pleasant, Tenn., is one of Reddit\u2019s more than 60,000 moderators. These volunteers do a tremendous amount of content moderation work that other social media giants contract out. The work of unpaid moderators like Mr. Carson has made it possible for Reddit to shine in this moment of political tumult.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cReddit is a community run by people like me focused on people like me<em class=\"css-2fg4z9 e1gzwzxm0\">,<\/em>\u201d Mr. Carson said.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-6b7dab80\">The Front Page of the Internet<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Reddit is 20 years old, which makes it ancient in internet years. It started out as a place to share interesting information and has remained essentially that ever since. Anyone can create a subreddit, becoming its first moderator. Anyone can visit or join it, unless it\u2019s made private.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cEach community on Reddit has its own topic, its own rules, its own moderators and, in many cases, its own in-jokes and culture,\u201d said Galen Weld, a doctoral student at the University of Washington who has conducted research on Reddit, as well as done consulting work for the company.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">What people want to share can sometimes be distasteful. Reddit earned notoriety in the past for communities devoted to revenge porn, videos of people\u2019s deaths and other toxic content. But the site has <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/09\/25\/business\/reddit-limits-noxious-content-by-giving-trolls-fewer-places-to-gather.html\" title=\"\">tamed its worst impulses<\/a> (and most devious moderators) by disbanding subreddits that consistently violate <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/redditinc.com\/policies\/reddit-rules\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">rules<\/a> the company established in 2015 against harassment and inappropriate behavior.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Reddit, which <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/03\/21\/technology\/reddit-ipo-public-content-moderation.html\" title=\"\">went public last year<\/a>, is now one of the most visited sites on the internet, with more than 100 million daily active users and $1.3 billion in revenue, according to the company\u2019s most recent financial filing. It may seem chaotic to a first-time visitor, sent there by a search engine. Its homepage is a random collection of news articles, funny photos and unfamiliar shorthand like AIO (\u201c<a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/AIO\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Am I Overreacting?<\/a>\u201d). But the individual subreddits can feel intimate and welcoming.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Each of these subreddits, whether about <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/HomeImprovement\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">home repair<\/a>, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Romantasy\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">romantasy<\/a> or <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/dndmaps\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Dungeons and Dragons maps<\/a>, is unique, and each has distinct rules, decided by its moderators.

That community has been sharing anecdotes about Trump voters who immediately suffered from his policy decisions, but it forbids stories about actual animal attacks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-6235c5be\">A New Rule: No Politics<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On the VeteransAffairs subreddit, there are two overriding rules: Stay on topic, and be respectful. That means no personal attacks and no politics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">When the subreddit\u2019s creator tapped Mr. Carson to take over the channel a decade ago, politics were allowed. But in the run-up to the 2024 presidential election, Mr. Carson and his co-moderator instituted a ban on partisan political talk after commenters began getting too heated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cPeople were pointing fingers and name-calling and being abrasive and insulting,\u201d Mr. Carson said. \u201cWe\u2019re<em class=\"css-2fg4z9 e1gzwzxm0\"> <\/em>trying to create a community that embraces people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder after serving in combat, Mr. Carson receives disability benefits from the V.A. He also teaches English literature part time at a community college outside Nashville. He enjoys seeing his students\u2019 reaction when he shows up on the first day wearing motorcycle leathers and a \u201cgoatee that comes down to my belly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">His schedule is flexible, allowing him time to moderate the VeteransAffairs subreddit. For many years, that amounted to an hour or two a day. But in recent months, the daily commitment ballooned to six or more hours, he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cEvery spare minute, I have Reddit pulled up on my phone,\u201d Mr. Carson said. \u201cIf I\u2019m in the car with my wife, I\u2019m sitting in the passenger seat and moderating the subreddit. After my wife goes to bed, I\u2019ll sit down and watch TV, and while I\u2019m watching TV, I\u2019m moderating the subreddit.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The constant time spent on his phone was \u201cirritating,\u201d said his wife, Stacey, who is also a veteran, \u201cuntil I realized exactly what he was doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">To help with the surge in activity, Mr. Carson and his co-moderator, whose real name Mr. Carson doesn\u2019t know, recently recruited two new moderators: one a veteran and the other a clinical pharmacist employed by the V.A.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On a recent weekday morning, Mr. Carson logged into Reddit and checked his moderator queue, which had a list of more than 1,000 posts and comments. He started reading each one, removing any not directly related to the Veterans Affairs Department.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-9\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It\u2019s time-consuming. Some people write \u201cdissertations,\u201d Mr. Carson said, and if the post includes a link, he clicks through to make sure the information is pertinent. \u201cThen you got to research the website to say, OK, is this website reliable?\u201d he said. If the site has extreme partisan leanings or unclear provenance, he\u2019ll remove the post.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe moderator\u2019s job is not just about preventing abuse or removing the bad behavior,\u201d said Eshwar Chandrasekharan, a computer science professor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign who has studied Reddit. \u201cThey also make it easy to find the good stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Carson always starts with content flagged for review, either by the community\u2019s users or by an automated filtering tool. The tool, AutoModerator, looks for inappropriate language, problem users who have been flagged by other moderators and words that violate the subreddit\u2019s \u201cno politics\u201d rule, including \u201cMusk,\u201d \u201cTrump,\u201d \u201cDOGE\u201d and \u201corange.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Carson himself has strong political feelings. Expressing them has gotten him into trouble in the past. He lost his job as a claims examiner at the V.A. in 2017 in part because of a Facebook post he had written with the hashtag #AssassinateTrump, according to an administrative judge\u2019s ruling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He was angry with the government at the time. The V.A. had transferred him from Tennessee to Colorado, and living apart from his wife and children for two years exacerbated his PTSD. Writing about his frustration with the agency on social media was cathartic, he said. But his colleagues found the posts threatening. Containing obscenities and ominous hypotheticals, they were a tenor of post he would quickly remove from his subreddit now.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-10\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After he was fired, Mr. Carson moved back to Tennessee and continued moderating the subreddit, grateful to still be able to share his expertise. He had come to think of helping veterans with their benefits as more than a job. It was his purpose.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe\u2019re trying to create a safe, helpful and respectful community,\u201d Mr. Carson said. He is always on the lookout for mentions of suicidal thoughts \u2014 which he, too, has experienced \u2014 and prioritizes reaching out to those people to offer help.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On this morning, AutoModerator had flagged a comment: It claimed that spyware had been installed on all computers tapped into by the Department of Government Efficiency, the group led by Elon Musk to cut the federal bureaucracy. Mr. Carson removed the comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe allow conversations that focus on facts and provide evidence,\u201d he said. \u201cBut even then, it still has to be relevant to the V.A.\u201d The spyware comment, he said, was a \u201csupposition.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-8516101\">\u2018You\u2019re Not Alone\u2019<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">When federal workers received an email last month telling them to list five things they had accomplished the previous week, someone posted a poll on the VeteransAffairs subreddit for V.A. colleagues: \u201c<a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/VeteransAffairs\/comments\/1iwno3c\/did_you_reply_to_the_email\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Did you reply to the email?<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-11\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A majority of respondents said they hadn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That kind of information is \u201chelpful and enlightening,\u201d said Bruce, a V.A. employee in Salt Lake City who has been checking the subreddit every day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Bruce, who asked not to use his full name to protect his employment, said that there had been little official communication from his regional office, and that Reddit had helped to fill the information vacuum.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt just gives you an idea of what other people at the V.A. are going through, that you\u2019re not alone,\u201d said Bruce, who until now had thought of Reddit mainly as a place to go for sports news.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">People can post on Reddit \u201cand get this really quick individualized feedback from an actual human,\u201d said Dr. Gilbert, the researcher at Cornell. On an internet awash with bots and A.I.-generated content, that distinguishes the site.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But that could change. Last year, Reddit signed licensing deals with Google and OpenAI, allowing the site\u2019s content to be used to train artificial intelligence like ChatGPT.
