View submission: Reddit’s 2017 transparency report and suspect account findings
It's actually really honest and open of administration to be posting such detailed information about state propoganda actors.
The very interesting part is how only 7% had more than 1,000 karma, a relatively trivial amount for a real person to access.
Of course, the actions of those accounts are the same kind of low grade pot stirring expected, but with large enough, and echoy enough pots, stirring them only makes the nutty clumps hold together more.

The funny thing is these accounts had the same trouble onboarding into Reddit as regular new users do...

These are only the ones they're completely sure of. There are likely hundreds, or thousands, or tens of thousands more that're better at being not ID'd.
EDIT: Spez literally said as much as far as the first sentence, the second is my own interpretation.

Tfw 1000 karma is considered trivial.

I wouldn't go that far with the praise, we're yet to see any transparency over the activity of non-Russian PACs and interest groups, who pretty blatantly astroturf some subs. This is Reddit running a political crowd pleaser rather than trying to be honest.
