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.
Imagine if you could easily tell if someone was an unhinged asshole IRL if they had a tattoo on their forehead that said “Grad” or “Hexbear.”
Fortunately on Fedi it’s exactly like that and you can see which home instance people come from right next to their usernames.
