    If they are, and if their goal is to keep us angry, then:

    • Bad news: They’re succeeding
    • Good News: I’m angry at them rather than whatever they’re aiming for.

    I also feel there’s an equal chance they’re just perpetually online buzzkills / Debbie Downers.

      Again, I know their schedule. Here are their priorities right now that’s probably pretty to close to the correct order:

      • Promote anything kirk that they can to keep that the conversation and not the nazi shit the admin is doing or the epstein connections for trump
      • Serial downvote anyone, posts or comments, they think isn’t promoting what they want.
      • “Discuss” things in huge diatribes that really don’t say anything and look like AI wrote, to hide genuine people’s opinions.
      • Try and get anything positive or fun downvoted by themselves, brigading or convince others to for “reasons.”
      • Cause a general vibe of anger on the front page.

        I feel like the Epstein thing keeps getting brought up rather than ignored like you are suggesting. There be a new article about some bad and how it completely undermines democracy and breaks multiple amendments and laws and they’ll just be like, “That’s a distraction from Epstein”

        Don’t ignore one thing that is CURRENTLY happening for another thing that you care about. Nevermind that an argument can be made that the Epstein files likely won’t change any votes.
