What is happening to Fluther?

I know it isn’t just me that is noticing all the hate that’s been infecting this site. Between the bible thumpers and the bigots, what’s going on? I know that many of these “problems” will take care of themselves. Most will likely just get bored with this site and move on to some white supremacy website somewhere. But why the influx of these loons now? Does it have to do with the election? Has the moon been getting abnormally full lately? Is it going to get better soon? They seem to be filling this site and I’m sick of their sh**!
I just want my Fluther back.
