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?

    It’s US election year and this is (primarily) an English language site. Is that really a surprise?

      No. But did you notice anyone bringing up Hilary’s emails?

        No, because this isn’t 8 years ago.

          You’d be surprised about the Republican party and their mental retention of useless facts.
