The Invisible Hand Behind Online Toxicity

I'm starting a new post because my last few posts mysteriously disappeared. I've noticed a pattern online: whenever I post something genuine, large groups quickly move in to derail the conversation and turn it toxic. It feels coordinated, almost like there's an invisible hand pulling the strings behind the scenes. Whoever it is seems to have a lot of control—not just over Reddit, but across multiple platforms. Ironically, Reddit is one of the few places where I still get any visibility at all. It's making me question just how free and open the internet really is anymore.
