Personally no, I've seen an uptick of some pretty pissed off (and vulgar) comments which appear to be made to trigger San Francisco people. These comments are largely inoffensive as they are rapidly downvoted and these accounts banned.

One worrying trend i noticed tho, is the systematic pinning of such things on 'Russians'. I am appalled by this blatent scapegoating and how it has become a meme over the last few years. People casually jump on this idiotic red scare 2.0 conspiracy theory in full impunity.

I am definitely an idiot, and maybe I jumped the gun saying Russian, but stating that Russian troll farms exists isn’t exactly controversial, hence why I provided a few links.
No offense my friend, this wasn't directed at your post in particular, I was just venting my frustration for this annoying trend. Besides, Ivan Petrovich Pavlov was actually russian :D
