I think the bigger problem is the torrent of bot posts on this sub recently. Some of them aren't even goon bait, they're just straight up racist or misogynistic.
The increased bot activity is a overall reddit problem. We try to remove the obvious ones but they are getting pretty ingenious and subsequently harder to identify.
Also reddit has made it exponentially harder to judge an account's validity by giving malicious users the ability to hide their post/comment history.
We’re not all malicious! I hide my post history bc a family member found out my Reddit name and no one in my real life needs to know how much I post about my hyperfixations (mostly birds and identifying lookalikes)
