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.

    Interesting lol thanks for the extra information, that’s good to know. I’ll be avoiding that section then.

    I find it fascinating that people can have such varied ideas/morality. I would have never thought my take would have been considered controversial for others lol.

      I think your experience is probably similar to a lot of people’s that join Lemmy. There’s certainly a lot of people on this platform with quite extreme views. Many instances got sick of them and blocked them, and in turn they think we’re liberal fascists.

      I think most people by now have received bans from the world news community on lemmy.ml, including myself. I wouldn’t worry about it!
