Ive been trolling RW sites on FB since the general election. CUz im bored. something to do. interesting to see just how crazy these people really are
before the election there was tons of activity on every page. live feeds. campaign stops. you could easily see tons of diamond and silk posts getting 5k replies. basically they do a live post for 15 mins. 800 of their fans sit and watch and post and post and post. so its kind of deceptive when you see 5k.
dec/jan started to slow down a little during the court fights. some of the russian backed black people for trump pages totally stopped posting after the vote. not a single post since.
now diamond and silk are banned i guess. no where to be found. OANN used to only post live feeds on FB of their 'newscast' but FB stopped those so not a single other kind of post from them for weeks.
hannity was pumping out massive posts all day every day. 10 - 20 mins apart. i think they have software programs that just spit out the same rotation of articles cuz they would repeat.
now? his last post 7 hours ago i think. before that another 10 hours. massive slowdown.
the sites like heritage foundation. dennis prager. slowed to a trickle. course rush is dead so nothing there.
some of the right wingers self deleted off of facebook.
so its just weird now compared to 6 months ago. the chaos the posting the videos the feeds the yelling the screaming.
kinda nice actually. like moving out the the farm after living in the big city.

(8,277 posts)Friends on FB have either deactivated their accounts or havent posted in at least a month now. Some have shared some stupid shit about socialism or VP last boyfriends or something. I dont even want to google that stuff.
The hate pause is nice. I can now browse without raising my blood pressure! I am so much more relieved about life, the future and the world this year.
Shutting down 45 was the best thing social media did for the whole world.

(15,088 posts)We had a local Facebook group that, over time, went from discussions of lost dogs and potholes to Trump and conspiracies. On January 7th, the group vanished. I assumed at the time that Facebook took it down, but now suspect the group administrator took it down because it had advertised a bus trip to the insurrection and there was a lot of chatter about who was going.

(11,339 posts)The ones who remain seem half-hearted about their "dementia" posts and the "Joe is a racist" line, etc. It's as if I can feel trump's influence and importance withering away right in front of us.
