    They boil down to:

    1. Paid trolls
    2. Genuinely mentally ill people whose decision making centers are broken

    Either way the solution is not to engage with them in anyway. You will not convince them to be reasonable and your energy is better spent elsewhere.

          Haha, the paid trolls are much more convincing and I’ve noticed a lot more sophisticated propaganda on the fediverse. Regular Bots are probably in higher abundance on meta and Reddit and other big tech social media platforms.

      I knew a guy who daily stared into the sun for a few seconds.

      He claimed to vote and tried to get me not to. I think he was either a secret Nazi or a secret superalcoholic or both.
