It's unbelievable how vocal the minority of conservatives on reddit have suddenly gotten in the one sub where a large demographic of important voters often interact. Hmmm. Coincidence?

Well, I do understand your logic at least even though I'm not exactly convinced about the mechanics.

Edit: non-native English speaker here, halp, "convinced about" or "convinced of"?

And i want to clarify I’m not saying spam shit posts, but spamming actual information, articles and actual good content is precisely an equivalent fight to combat flooding propaganda, and a pretty benign one at that when you look at more extreme gorilla tactics

I think “convinced of” is more correct, but both phrases work. Could also say “convinced on”.
