Is there any way we can combat them? Maybe appoint a mod to delete obvious anti-pizzagate upvoted posts? Or have our own little sock-puppet team that upvotes the pro-pizzagate posts?
The latter isn't a good idea because it's still vote manipulation. And removing anti-pizzagate posts will result in an echo chamber effect where criticism isn't taken seriously. I myself often criticize evidence here, if only to remind everyone of the burden of proof.
Honestly I think it's best if people just call out the shills and not pay much attention to vote scores.
