If anyone has known Bitcoin (and Bitcoin Cash) for a while, and knows the stance of most people on this sub when it comes to the scaling debate, you will know that this sub is in favour of bigger-blocks. Though it hasn't happened yet, I strongly suspect r/Bitcoin mods and users will try to coordinate vote manipulation and brigading attacks to try and dilute the big-block part of the community, and try to make the mainstream "Bitcoiners" become the majority of this sub. I think this effort might include multiple sockpuppet accounts and posts suddenly getting upvoted to the top for at least a few weeks, or comments themselves being vote brigaded. Be sure to watch out for these signs of vote manipulation and brigading, and don't allow them to dilute this part of the Bitcoin community.
It's also important to look at the possibility of r/Bitcoin mods starting to spread misinformation (in the event of a bullrun) about r/btc so that users can stay in their echo chamber. If these two efforts are coordinated, such an attack might be successful.
