This isn't about immediately filtered content, like the disgusting DuffMan George Floyd meme, or Holocaust denial. That's pretty well kept in check by mod tools. I'm also not talking about cogent or even pointed political discussion.

I'm not even talking about necessarily in this community directly, however in a lot of other spaces I've noticed a lot of accounts using divisive language and terms like "The ineffectual left" "single issue voters" "ignorant right wing morons". Lots of straw man arguments, lots of willful ignorance.

I'm not a centrist, I'm very very very far left however I know well enough not to patently dismiss the talking points of others, outside of course calls to genocide. I know what dog whistles sound like, and I'm hearing a lot of them lately.

Most egregiously I'm seeing very long form post replies that read very much like what is generated from LLMs.

So I guess my question is, how're we all fairing with what might be the largest Turing test ever?

I know very well that you are accusing me of being all the things that I would dislike for the purpose of being an online bully. If you were looking for a reaction, you should probably go somewhere else.

I'm not the one typing your messages buddy, sorry if I'm giving you Havana syndrome. Maybe do some introspection.

I don’t even know what that is. I don’t feel insulted by you. It’s silly really. It’s not my fault you see words that aren’t there. Perhaps a unique form of right-wing dyslexia?

I really hope you’re getting paid for this lol.
