@goatsarah at that time i also experienced a total psychological breakdown in which GG was a big factor. I wasn't in the crossfire but friends of friends were. I remember late night scrolling, watching the patterns, the concerted psyop-like sense of it. The only logical response was to go mad.
After (belatedly, not prior to GG) noticing the identity with astro-terfing, I remember looking at the patterns around Low Traffic Neighborhoods looking the same. All from one set of roots
