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 wish they worked on pictures too :( half my feed is still full of stuff I’ve blocked just because they didn’t use the word in the title

      OCR is easy enough now that I’m a little surprised text isn’t auto-parsed from uploaded images
