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.

    Damn .world mods going into other instances to police the comments of their own users.

    Fucked up.

        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.
