 I hear this from a lot of npubs.
They have no idea this is going on, while individual women are struggling with it regularly.

I don't know why that is.

 It does seem like there was more trolls in the past two weeks. But not like you described. What you described is much worst

 Ah now that we’re talking about it. Just saw one under one of SatsMcd's memes. Muted the troll 🤷🏾‍♂️

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

Can feel like playing whack-a-mole.

 Seems like they’re looking for specific keywords to interact with

 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
