Has Reddit’s traffic really quadrupled in 6 months? - lemm.ee

If they were just talking about Reddit, I’d assume something dodgy was going on connected with the IPO. But Quora is supposedly back from the dead too… Am I missing something glaringly obvious here?

Election is coming up, all Russian bots

Mfers still believe in Russiagate despite everything that’s come out.

They’re not Russian trolls, you guys are just a bunch of fascists.

If I remember correctly the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence quietly released a bipartisan report some years back conforming the existence of Russian trolls in the 2016 election. I haven’t seen any evidence or reports released that they have ceased their attempts at manipulating social media since then.

I do agree though, a lot of the posts are just real people who know that hate gets more engagement and crazy people.

They did, but they determined the huge russian disinformation campaign was the work of like 5 accounts and 200k in ad-spend on facebook. In other words a wet fart.
