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?

    Oh yes, this is generally classified as coordinated inauthentic traffic and moderated away regardless of content.

    That is, that was the norm before platforms decided they kind of like fascism if it gets them less regulations and more tax cuts.
