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 more I read their moderators comments the more I can’t help but feel similarly. Such a strong condescending tone, it’s like every comment has the clown emoji embedded into it.
I think the reality is much simpler, they’re run by people who see themselves as mainstream social media providers, just on the fediverse. And along with mastodon.world, they’re not wrong.
