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.

    I want connections across the globe that add something to my day, if I wanted random BS then I’d turn on the TV.

      If you think that only things that you understand and are comfortable with will add to your day… you’re free to think that :)

        But I don’t see things that make me think or challenge my worldview on all. It’s just pages and pages of pointless memes.

        If I want that, I have to seek it out in specific communities, which I then subscribe to.
