A new report from the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism highlighted alarming trends in online chatter.

The report’s warning is based on a rise in violent chatter on platforms known for hosting extremist content.

In October , violent rhetoric related to election denialism increased by 317% on Telegram , 105% on Gab , 25% on communities.win , and 75% across a selection of Fediverse communities.

Princeton 's BDI , meanwhile, warns against complacency after 2022 , when vigilante poll watchers mostly stayed away from drop boxes.
