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’ve seen a few different replies on various posts that, while different, all repeat nearly identical sentiments about having to “purge” fascists with violence, for the good of humanity or whatever. I don’t think they’re bots, probably paid trolls. I believe the goal is to push a violent agenda, at least the appearance of one, in leftist communities.
