Has anyone noticed a decrease in the # of internet trolls now that Russia's money is frozen? [View all]

Just wondering

P.S.-Not thinking about this site. I don't see many problem posters here on DU.

I went to a couple of places today that are often overrun with trolls and they were like different places.

Did the honey tree die? Or are administrators being more vigilant during this crisis?
