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?
Haven’t seen that. But I have seen some users who spend every moment of their lives posting to sway opinion on an issue of their choosing. And if I accurately assess them as Russian paid trolls, I get all my comments removed and I get banned. So that’s awesome and fair. Their content stays up, protected by mods. What an awesome feeling.
You should get banned for that. This isn’t Reddit, go back if you want a hug box.
What the hell are you talking about?
They are the mods. Your reports go straight to them. That’s how they know to ban you.
Israel -Garza trolls/posters too
Edit Little bit ironic funny. In a thread about trolls the trolls come out
They can’t stop until kamala walks into the oval office and kicks biden in the nerds and screams, “Isreal better stop now or ill nuke the Vatican.”
Can we please nuke the vatican? Then continue systematically disassembling all other religions?
This attitude is insane to me. A fucking genocide is happening. Imagine this attitude during WW2 if we were spring the Nazis. “Look at all these Jewish troll posters. So many complaints about this Holocaust thing. Must be Russian agents. No idea why else they would care this much.”
I’ve got “Am I taking crazy pills?” energy up in here lol.
At the time quite a few people doubted the existence of the extermination camps. But when they were liberated and journalists got to visit them the cat was out of the bag.
True, but I’d like to think people would have thought better if people were live streaming it, from both sides of the conflict even.
