It's the same set of moderators as when the sub was exclusively anti-China. The point is that the median reader of that sub is concerned with results, that's why the narrative their changed.

And yes, if you think celebrating the survival of Chinese grandmothers and grandfathers is so unbelievable that that anybody upvoting it must be a shill, you are blinded by politics. There are forums made for spewing out attitudes like yours, on the grimier parts of the internet. Please consider commenting over there instead, so we can keep HN clean. Thanks.
