The social media platform said it discovered the accounts, which are linked to the Russian troll farm known as the Internet Research Agency, last fall and has since terminated the accounts.

Tumblr said the Russia-linked accounts were solely focused on spreading disinformation by posting “organic content.” The company found no indication that the accounts purchased any advertisements.

If Tumblr removes all troll accounts, then there will be about 84 left. It's pretty telling about the current status of democracy if 84 random accounts need to be banned in order to protect it because they are a threat.
