    Most of them at the beginning of any operation are Russian/Iranian bots (both real people and LLMs) whose entire job it is to rile people up and get the MAGA-types to latch on and grow the sentiment organically. But again, who cares what they say? Just ignore or silence them as quickly and cleanly as possible.

      All true! But in the end, they still affect my life, so I do have to care what’s said, even if it is a bot or a filthy Russian.
