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?

    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.
