I know they’ve always been on Lemmy, but it seems like the past few weeks it’s slowly increasing, making me want to just stay on beehaw /local. Showing up on more communities, even on instances that ban that type of trolling explicitly.
Anyone else notice this?
Note: When I’m saying Tankie here, I’m not referring to far leftists, socialists, anti-capitalists, etc. I’m talking about trolls that act leftist but their actual intent is to cause infighting and support authoritarian regimes. Sealioning, all that stuff.
The accounts I’ve seen are in other locations. It also doesn’t feel like the Hexbear crowd as they have a specific way of arguing.
I’m not sure. It could have to do with certain instances connecting to new communities or maybe there was a popular post bringing more people to the fediverse.
Might be worth seeing if there was a surge in new members.
