Uptick in inflammatory posts (poptalk.scrubbles.tech)

Has anyone else noticed this, across the fediverse, Lemmy specifically. A lot of new users, but also a lot of first posts that are very inflammatory/rage baity.

Do we have another legit influx of new users? Or do we just have some bad actors trying to stir the pot? Or maybe I'm imagining it.

I've noticed more debatelords (only in large communities, like c/technology), not sure they will stay if we don't feed them and the more debatelordy instances just simply ban them.
