If you spend any time in it, you know it is.

They’ve never forced folks to verify email addresses, but the last 6 months or so you see tons of accounts commenting on very on discussions, writing bland ai-like, making posts that are just riling things up, and/or hiding their post and comment history.

What was once the last bastion of interesting social media is quickly becoming useless.
