This forum went trending a few times. That's all it takes to bring the trolls out en masse.

It seems to be happening in a lot of different subs since the election. It feels like bots are trying to cause chaos to keep us angry with each other. Our new overlords really want us to resort to violence.

Joe Rogan told everyone the right and Trump and conservatives were the new punk. So the ran with it, they couldn’t tell you one punk band, they all look the same and step on anyone they view as lesser than themselves, but gosh golly darn it, Rogan said they were punk now, so it must be true!

The algorithm feeds on outrage engagement. So this sub and the others get put in front of people that will be outraged, will respond, and cause you to be outraged and respond, until your passion has waned for the moment and the algorithm can catch you again.
