HN has plenty of filters, just not those ones. Detected LLM writing is automatically flagged, and they do something with IP address too.

Love to see HN political bot comment graph like if and when there was a surge of them over time (US elections or other countries elections). Like did the Ukraine blowing up Yandex's data center(s) have any effect?

Plenty of these right-wing posters are names I recognize who've been here for years. It's not all bots, there's plenty of "organic" Trump supporters.
HN doesn't have the kind of filters that the big social media platforms do, either.
