I notice a large number of ragebait-y political communities being spun up by new users with thousands of posts & ai profile header photos. I notice comment sections are more acrimonious, and foreign disinfo talking points are circulating a lot more prolifically than before the US election started ramping up.

Anyone else notice this? Any idea on how to combat it on this platform? Are there any communities built around creating block lists of obvious troll/ai/disinfo accounts & communities?

    You can’t fault hostile intelligence

    Yeah, I can! 😂

      We manipulate other countries similarly, so you can fault them but there’s an element of hypocrisy in doing so.

        It’s only hypocritical if you approve of it’s use that way, which I do not. It would be naive or even stupid to expect those countries not to retaliate, but I don’t like it when anyone interferes in a diplomatic process.

          No. You, flicker, are clearly in charge of all the decisions of the US Government when it comes to foreign interference.
