I swear, every time most of the time I see someone being particularly rude, ignorant, and inappropriate on a post (usually political in origin, or they swing it to being political) I click on their profile and see it has been created that same day.

They are only there to sow discord. Only to piss people off. Idk if we can just report them (for what?) but I’d like to try exposing them before responding and interacting…

I am guilty of gobbling up the bait. I’ve started looking at profiles of people that piss me off exceptionally and noticed they’re burner bot loser accounts.

I guess i just want to say I’ve noticed it!

Every time I hear that 2024 is a big election year for the world I don’t really understand the stats.

Around 2 billion voters - approximately a quarter of the world’s population - are expected to be heading to the polls this year.

Like if everyone has 4 year terms then generally a quarter of the world’s population will have an election every year.

Not every county has four year terms. Also, elections can be triggered early for various reasons.

Mainly 5 year terms, but I can see on the list some 6 and 7 year terms as well… https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_term_limits
