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?

    Even worse for us that live outside the US. Nothing but US politics every time we scroll. Well, that and Linux stuff.

      Yeah, but if you use Arch you have to make sure to let everyone know you use Arch, it’s in the Arch EULA, duh.
