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?

    Uhh… a major party us presidential candidate was shot and the other one dropped out and anointed his controversial vp.

    I haven’t been out here advocating third party voting for a tick now because there isn’t a serious line to compare against for either major party since those events.

    If you don’t wanna see political stuff in an American election year then stop using all/active.
