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’m also really tired of this word honestly. Yes, we know it’s happening and see it all around us. It’s kind of been doing it for 20 years, so it’s just kind of funny since the word just popped up in these circles and now its run rampant and is beginning to lose its meaning, saying it about any business or service that is looking to make profit.
Not that I disagree, just like yeah guys we get it, everything everywhere sucks, pointing it out every 30 seconds doesn’t really do much if we aren’t actively taking actions against it, which gets into the whole “then we have to bring it up know about it” and the cycle repeats itself.
