ID: line drawing of an upright bunny with a black bandana tied around their neck, holding a lit match in their mouth like you might a toothpick. The text says “we can’t just vote fascism away, the time has come to disobey. (be brave!)”

    Yeah, you’re right, Russia isn’t the only one with troll farms. At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some based in every country in the world. Not all of them state sponsored, but it’s an effective strategy to disrupt communities and keep people from working together.

    And you’re also right about that last point. I don’t know if there is an effective way to deal with them. Even if someone called out as a troll really is one, just calling them out can alienate others who resonated with what the troll said.

    I’m not sure if there even is an effective counter strategy.
