Could we as the Reddit community, or even specific/trusted security researchers have a better way of flagging inorganic accounts and content?

I feel like I run across these all the time and there is no good way for me to say “hey, this is probably a fake account spreading disinformation/astroturfing because $x, $y or $z”.

Even if you did say your warning, the other account just blocks you basically silencing you, and pre-blocked you on the next set of accounts. Some of these people have accounts waiting in the wings that are months old, meaning they have 1000’s of accounts waiting to be used, and doing vote manipulation.
