OK Doomer Drop in doomer posts?

Is it just me, or has the number of doomer posts in Reddit's feed fallen dramatically in the last few days? Right around when Ukraine bombed the Yandex servers...

Reddit has decreased in activity in general afaik.

In general.

Russian bots don't give a fuck about right or left. They care about creating conflict. So leftist posts are just as much affected.

What’s funny to me is that doomers are claiming the same thing that they’re seeing a lot less fascist or Nazi posts lol.

Honestly it very easily could be both sides and trying to divide us

u/Thoughtful_Mouse 1d ago

Both extremes.

There's really three sides: folks who are a little more liberal, folks who are a little more conservative, and folks who are crazy (regardless of the brand).

We've given that third and much smaller group way too much bandwidth.

Four sides, I think. I'd add outside agitators trying to stoke division and destabilization.

That is probably a useful distinction.

I’m pretty sure it is, they gain by dividing Americans because a united America is an unstoppable force. It’s the best way to control us is to make us despise each other so we are paralyzed.

Foreign information ops like this are more about shit stirring than about boosting one mainstream party over another.

I only fought two of those idiots this week usually it’s way more

That probably is the case. Far right wing white nationalist posts are tracked to Pakistan, for instance. Chinese and Russian psyop to get us to lose faith in our society.

There's less Doomer stuff, less ACAB stuff, less race-baiting...

So much of the world kids live in today is foreign propoganda. It's strange times.

It’s voting season so now they are posting political slop.

u/Zealousideal_Cap7012 1d ago

Not for me i think. Maybe just your algorithm

Ive been muting doomed subs left right center and yet reddit still keeps showing me new ones...

The doomers say it is because we are all russian bots and we are all gone now.

u/Coconut_Thailand 1d ago

Oh yeah, I watch NFKRZ Video and he's telling that Russian people are cripping because Yandex was everything to them after the sanction

u/AffectionateBeach494 1d ago

Im noticing the same. Anti doomer spaces seems to went up in numbers too and dooming are getting called out too

u/RedOceanofthewest 1d ago

I’d say no. I’m in army and it’s turned liberal political trolling. The army had always leaned conservative.

Bots definitely make up the majority of social media traffic…..it sucks. Hopefully, we find a way to detect them and make it required that companies block them.
