It depends on where you go, but if you hang out in a small place you get to see that certain narratives are vociferously defended. They tend to coincide with certain things that you see in other places, then you can connect the dots. It's still plausible that they are trolls, I guess. You have to use your own discenrment case-by-case.
That's a tired argument. I've seen propaganda on game chats, tiny niche forums and even obscure IRC channels.
