 The trolls are getting worse and crazier and they're increasingly using algos.

Can feel like playing whack-a-mole.

 Last year, whenever someone spoke of freedom of speech or muting, they would show up. Now it seems like whenever it’s related to women somehow they show up 🤷🏾‍♂️

 That might be. Maybe women who complain about harrassment get attacked by troll bots.

 Those are the new bots, yes. Or they attack anyone who replies to a particular npub or post.

 The search feature on the clients they use seems to be very advanced. That and the custom feeds they’re able to generate. I wonder what apps they use
