No worries, it's just part of the job.
Yes these same things are affecting ruqqus and notabug and many others. It's gotten to the point where if you try to start a forum (especially a modern reddit-style one), this style of cultural attack just part of the territory. It didn't used to be like this 15 years ago, maybe even it wasn't like this 5 years ago, but it is now.
Alternative forums need to learn from each other, to build the best defenses against these cultural attacks, because this problem is becoming more and more of a "thing", much like DDOS attacks. On average Saidit gets DDOS attacked literally 9 days out of 10, so the fact they'd be doing cultural attacks around the clock would also be unsurprising.
It could be any number of people or organizations doing this. It's very hard to tell. That's part of what makes the attacks so hard to stop. They're all just normal users until they show their true colors

Seemed to pick up around the time the saudis built their internet ops division, imo. about 2016

Interesting. I've had run-ins with JIDF before. And I've had run-ins with ShareBlue and Cambridge Analytica as well. Didn't know the saudis had a branch too. I guess everyone will soon, every country and every corporation. It'll be the new "native advertising" to hijack forums and sway minds by creating false consensus. What a future to look forward to /s

I wish I wasn't alone in my friend circle in being aware of this madness
