Indeed, and it would be great if it was just new accounts but there are also accounts that have been around for years that suddenly spout nothing but conspiracy nonsense while claiming the rest of us lack critical thinking skills and/or are shills for the FBI or have been brainwashed. It's getting really annoying.

I've seen one community be destroyed like this (an alternative energy community focused on solar and wind power was overrun by 'over unity' idiots and allowed to run amok because they kept buying expensive magnets which the forum owners were selling). And I really would like HN to stay sane.
