I think that particular subreddit is being generous about the issue because they overwhelmingly support the Antminer manufacturer on a completely separate issue (increased block sizes). That issue is more-or-less the big schism at the moment between /r/btc and /r/bitcoin.
If that's confusing, as a hypothetical example: You just linked to an /r/conservative thread about Trump's alleged Russian ties.
Surprising, as it seems like a straightforward, real issue.
