Yes.

But, before anyone blames legitimate community participants for all these awful and ridiculous posts, know that we have been overrun with shills, and one of the obvious ways they trash a place like this, and try to embarrass participants, is by posting exactly this kind of garbage under a guise of sincerity.

Over and over again.

And then Team Troll-liking it, to make us appear gullible.

It's not a secret. So real humans on here, don't you fall for it. Feel free to lampoon it, though, for education and recreational purposes, though (but just continue to ignore any insult trolls). And I know the mods are interested in cleaning up the feed, so I think they'd welcome you to Report this low-grade well poisoning.

Also, it must be said, handshake accounts don't radiate a lot of trust around here, so if I were to speculate that you, yourself, were a concern troll account, following on prior effort and now trying to further a perception that all this garbage is actually from legitimate community participants... I think others might share that reasonable suspicion. Because that's all in the trolling strategies handbook. So tread lightly, handshake.

I disagree.

The better optics come from “QAnons” repeatedly debunking this nonsense in the comments.

You also can’t stop the posts, but you can always add to them.

They want us to look like confused, deranged, idiots looking for guidance or signs of mystical prophecy. They want us to look insane and detached from reality.

By accepting some ideas on this board and refuting others we make it clear that we’re governed by evidence and reason, not emotionally attached political desires.

This is also our natural state of things... without shills there’s still good ideas and bad ideas that we can debate as a community.

and while at it, check the New section to see if a dozen others have already posted it. (If a dozen others have already posted it, you don't need to bro.)
