Much of the surge in trolling (along with the activation of accounts not seen in a while like Haterjuiced) just happens to coincide with it now only being 6 months to election season. A perfect length of time for contract work to occur.
Those who've been around the internet block know how increases in shilling and trolling always happens the closer it gets to American elections but I thought I'd just point it out to those who either forgot or didn't notice.
One of the known tactics of modern shilling is to make places less interesting and more unappealing by trolling so that regular users will try to avoid using the place. Look into COINTELPRO tactics if you don't believe me.
They've been a known force on imageboards for a while, at least since the GG days, plus it's obvious to see their effects on reddit during past elections.
(And honestly that makes inaction by the moderation on these faggots all the more damning, but I digress)
TL;DR its likely not organic trolling.
If you have an environment that fosters weak but active action, such as voting or boycotts, low involvement activities that are easily performed but have strong impact in large numbers, then it can be VERY valuable for the side being against that thing to make the environment as toxic as possible.
If I said "remember to go vote, and IMO, Trump's a good option" on election day, and it is heard by 3 people who forgot to vote and go out and do it, well, that benefits Trump mildly. If I say it and instead am heard by 300,000 people who forgot to vote and go out and do it, well, that swings an election. And the difference isn't my message or how convincing I am, it is how many people are still there, are around and reading, while a bunch of glowies push pro-pedo-propaganda for Biden for months on end.
That is a very salient point, but I would counterpoint that we have the freedom to post such an election time message in all sorts of popular places that make the impression rate of kia2 posts irrelevant by scale in any case. I don't mean to sound like this place is not important, just that it is important to us and not to Trump. I think getting one solid janitor on board in kia2 would solve this issue and further demonstrate the ineffectiveness of the pedo guy's hypothetical strategy of affecting the 2024 election by sperging on kia2.
