I am an amateur historian. I remember someone posted something completely wrong to push an anti immigrant agenda, like Muslims and Christians have never lived in harmony in history. I then pointed our Jerusalem constantly switching hands and pilgrim rights being respected, Coptics living under Mamalukian rule peacefully and overall under Ottomon rule 600 years later there's still large swaths of Orthodox in Turkey just to name a few times. I got bombarded with comments, dms, all my posts on reddit were like downvoted and this crowd followed me to other subreddits to downvote and trash talk. Someone posted you follow R/Hometown so your from X Hometown. It was a very weird situation and I reported it all, it cleared up but I'm 60% I was targeted for being an active poster who leans left. I genuanlly thought I was one step from being doxxed..
Modern misinformation is often let's find some common ground so I may "Seem" altruistic. It's unfortunate as common ground us the best way to reach people but it now being weaponized. "Trump is bad but atleast he's not Biden, who is supporting the genocide in Gaza!!" Like Trump wouldn't be doing the same shit, like come on..
