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?
Do other countries have laws forbidding campaigning before a certain time?
Never heard of that. In my country it’s normal not to finish your term in office, so once an election is called, they don’t want to plan them too far out. That takes care of it and you’re not too long in between governments
