    Stop all such posts like the above: naked external links.

    When you want to link something, you must also add something personal to it, like your opinion, your own summary of what you think is the remarkable piece of news, your knowlege about the trustworthiness of that source, etc.

    Prove that you are a human. Prove that you have delivered some quality content. Or try it at least. Failure is OK. Automated low effort posting is NOK.

    IMHO that’s the only way how we humans can stay ‘above’ the bots. Disinformation campaigns are using the same bots as information campaigns.
