Absolutely. The ‘hive mind’ here is so narrow minded and shallow that it’s super easy to predict 3/4 of the comments on any given article. Probably because the all the comments are from the same 5 people.
I think about people on reddit complaining about reposts as I scroll past 50 posts of the same article posted to different instances by the same person.
Start by telling them they’re stupid and that you have all the answers. That should do the trick.
