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 can. Because it’s shortsighted, especially when we already had four years of Trump as an example of what would happen. It’s not like they can say “It’s possible he’d be better!” because we have clear examples that he wouldn’t.
If your choice is between having your house burn down and your toilet overflowing… you don’t just leave the house and never return. You take the toilet overflowing and fix it. Because just leaving it means someone else who’s more responsible has to clean up your mess.
