if there is a bigger campaign behind it from some group

I started to get this feeling on Voat after a while. I know echo chambers do exist, but the change in tone was so sudden and en masse, with similar account names and language used that I just have to think it was organised. I don't think it is happening anymore, I think someone poisoned the well during the 2016 US election and left behind an echo chamber.

Perhaps not on a massive scale but there are enough people with alt accounts there that it doesn't really matter. When you see a thread and recognize 5 accounts that you know for sure are from the same person and some even arguing with each other and then see how often this happens, then it's time to pack up shop anyway. If it's organized or not it's still not genuine.
