Have anon account registrations soared since the Parler ban?


I have noticed a lot of anonymous conservative trolls on HN since the Parler ban was announced.

It seems like they are nomads without a home for their hate and some have decided to participate here.

Political threads attract more controversity and throwaway accounts. This week there have been more politic political threads. Overall I can't see much difference from previous years. I'd say the overlap between users who frequent(ed) Parler and HN is very slim.
