It turns out this was just a misinformation campaign. Sadly it looks like a lot of people fell for it.

Was just wondering this today.

Unfortunately with every piece of news now I must ask myself three questions:

Who does this benefit/hurt if it’s true?
Who does this benefit/hurt if it’s misinformation?
Which one is more likely?

I was leaning towards misinformation because it seems like something pretty difficult to verify but would spread quickly given the political timing.

well, donb't fall for the next misinformation. Believe your own eyes, you can see the lower numbers of troll posts in r4eddit and all over social media. No matter how many of the remaining trolls now try to pretend there is nothing to see.

The only proof there is a few posts of his getting only 5k likes - but he has multiple posts in early October also with fewer than 5k likes?
