Yes, daily, every time I read comment sections. First I check their account, quite a number of signs can suggest a propable AI bot, or troll manager. Then my tactics vary.
- First, if their comment is the initial post I most often refrain from responding at all.
- If their comment is a response comment, if I respond I do so without tagging them with @. Because they might get extra pay when people respond to or tag them. If alerting others that they're a bot I first remove the @.
- If others are engaged with the bots/ trolls and I join, I only respond (with @) to real humans with an own opinion.
- Then, depending on the situation and what's being said by the others, I'll either produce well founded facts, with sources if possible, or ridicule the RU war effort, also with facts.
- Most important, before I choose if to write anything, I pause, breathe, and think. I never let my temper take over and write with my feelings, I write with my brain.
- Most often, I simply avoid engaging in the "noise" comments, and instead (for the algoritm) engage in some intelligent discussion elsewhere in the comment section, to promote that up above the noise of the RU propaganda comments.
