Has anyone else noticed this, across the fediverse, Lemmy specifically. A lot of new users, but also a lot of first posts that are very inflammatory/rage baity.

Do we have another legit influx of new users? Or do we just have some bad actors trying to stir the pot? Or maybe I’m imagining it.

      Those countries want to divide us and it’s working

      We have a saying “People who think too highly of themselves and can’t fix their problems will always make up a bogeyman to blame”

      Did the tankies lead you to support the genocide? Did the tankies keep you from keeping Israel/US accountable for their crimes?

      No buddy, your “countries” did those all on their own and were proud of it. The countries are only changing their tone as the hypocrisy is failing to keep up with the lies.

      But you do you. You’re such good guys and have never done bad to anyone else and also “never” fought among yourselves.

      If it takes some Chinese and Russian trolls to divide you, you’re never really “together” bud. But again whatever makes you sleep at night.

      That’s a lame and cheap attack and also ridiculous.

      Try replying to these so-called “Russian and Chinese bot accounts” and see what happens

      You won’t get evasive and broken English, rather a long and thorough breakdown grounded in theory and history

            Degenerate tankies white washing a genocide being commited by a country that is no way communist is not “theory and history.”

            And even “historical” discussion is usually along the lines of “it’s a good thing that Stalin collaborated with the Nazis and split up Europe!” or "Not wanting to have you culture exterminate by the russians is Nazism!

            Keep in mind this is not my first day on Threadiverse! Playing dumb is not going to work with me.

              Aaaaand… we’re off!

              Degenerate tankies

              Lol

              white washing a genocide

              I can’t wait for this one. Pray tell what genocide?

              country that is no way communist

              What makes a country communist in your view? Only countries that never build any sort of government and never do any sort of production?

              “it’s a good thing that Stalin collaborated with the Nazis and split up Europe!”

              I would love a link that you have to someone making this argument

              “Not wanting to have you culture exterminate by the russians is Nazism!”

              Lol no. Glorifying Nazis like Stepan Bandera is Naziism. Doing ethnic cleansing in Eastern Ukraine is Naziism.

              Keep in mind this is not my first day on Threadiverse!

              Obviously, it takes time to absorb the lame “tankies bad” circlejerk from .world. Seems you have had some time to let it soak in.

                    Are you dumb? Why in god’s name do you think I would want to talk to you?

                    You know nothing about Ukraine, Donbas or even probably Russia. You wouldn’t be able to name 3 basic historical facts about Donbas if your life depended on it.

                    Hope you end up like Donbas Cowboy, Russell Bentley.

                    Bentley’s wife, Lyudmila, then claimed that Russian soldiers from a tank battalion abducted him.

                    According to the Investigative Committee, Vansyatsky, Agaltsev, and Iordanov tortured Bentley on April 8, and he died shortly afterward.

                    Vansyatsky and Agaltsev are suspected of blowing up a car with Bentley’s body in it and ordering Bazhin to get rid of what was left of his remains.

                    A good end for a tankie, eh? Imagine what was going through his mind as his fellow russians were torturing him? At least he realized the error of his ways (even for a very short moment).

        So people are just pretending that astroturfing by foreign nations isn’t real now? Cool.
