>>509432063 (OP)If you haven't noticed or been through the catalog, it's very difficult and rare to have a meaningful discourse on /pol/ anymore. Here's what agenda bots are doing not only on /pol/ but on various different social media platforms and the biggest one is Chinese bot farm:
1. Flooding with Noise: Trolls spam threads with irrelevant or inflammatory comments to drown out meaningful discussion. This buries legit voices and derails conversations for example /pol/, TikTok & X
2. Impersonation: Using fake accounts, they pose as locals (memeflags etc on /pol/ and fake accounts on TikTok which are set to private, facebook etc) to blend in and push divisive or misleading narratives with credibility.
3. Amplification: Co-ordinate Immediate replies on /pol/ threads made my memeflags or other flags via co-ordination on discord, telegram etc. to boost the thread artifically. Mass-like/ retweet on X etc.
4. Polarization: They post extreme, emotionally charged content to inflame divisions, pitting groups against each other to destabilize unity.
5. Disinfo Spread: Trolls share fabricated stories, deepfakes, or half-truths - example 70% of threads on /pol/
6. Deflection: When challenged, trolls/bots pivot to whataboutism or unrelated hot-button issues to dodge accountability and muddy the waters. Several examples within this thread itself.
There would be more but that's all I can think of now.
