The reaction through proper posts on the subreddit (as opposed to comments) also seemed to be largely anti-Estalian<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/vgmerc/who_wants_to_be_next/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/vgn1i7/i_love_me_some_good_drama_i_can_photoshop_posters/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/vgm76bvgrob3/welcome_to_the_first_civmc_of_pollapalooza_whereto_estalia/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/vgrob3vgqz4v/to_estaliacould_the_relocation_of_ku_have_been_prevented/</ref>.
