    I immediately went to check that “SaltyAmerican” guy that often gets in my “All” feed and latest post was week ago. 🗿

    Nothing gives away a Russian troll posing as an American person like trying really hard to emphasize their “Americanness” - with those “as an American”/“we Americans”.

      There’s another obnoxious troll that’s similar to yours that is so bad at it, I’m pretty sure he’s an american.

        They had a lot of posts on “Late Stage Capitalism” community, and I suspect that community as a whole may probably be run by Russian trolls. Simply because of a contrast with other lefty communities - like you can have civil conversations in most places, and in there it’s just a perpetual hate boner machine, that just wants to get you upset and angry.
