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?

    I don’t know what you guys are talking about. It seems to me there’s always been this many political posts here. Maybe there’s been a slight uptick for the election but it’s not much different than it has been for the entire year I’ve been around.
