Curious pattern: far-right trolls use reply, and far-left trolls use retweet with comment.
Is virtue signaling a bigger part of the far-left trolls' motivation? Or do the far-right trolls just not know about retweet with comment?

Retweet with comment breaks visibility to the public via your tweet, so if they are really "trolling" they are doing it wrong.

The far-right troll thinks he is fighting to save civilisation, far-left one thinks the battle is mostly lost so talks to his echo chamber:)

Or far right trolls are a bit ashamed of their comments / afraid they could reflect badly on them. Or, they have no followers anyway

The latter could be a factor. On the whole they seem newer to Twitter.

imho, left people seem more invested in social networks, hence know how to use them more efficiently. This also explains bubbles.

and it's not really "left" (it is in the US, but not everywhere), it's more "progressives" and "conservatives" which ties in even better.
