  • I enjoyed your paragraph above, regarding the morbid fascination, and I feel I share it. The waves of hate against all things not white, male, cis/het show up just like Twitter. Humanity is struggling to adapt to disingenuous trolls in ways that include having people in charge of “moderation” without any desire to foster sincere communication.
    Whether it is intentional or not, ignoring fallacies and other red flags used by trolls has only enabled them further and the greatest adaptation of the foreseeable Information Age will be An Effective Bullshit Filter.




  • They tried to stick Obama and Hillary behind Biden’s head and threw in the Senator, John Fetterman, that refutes the Reeepub argument about Democrats being small, elitist, or weak.

    It’s definitely got that Russian Whataboutism propaganda they love to throw around, during intentionally pointless debates, and making “Tuckfaces” while “just asking questions”. Then it’s also fuel for the average “EnlightenedCentrist” pretending they are above it all while helping the far right move goalposts.



  • One example:
    There were some posts over on the 196 board targeting Taylor Swift as the enemy because “all billionaires are bad” as though it was a reason and not an excuse. One account was named essentially ’Aryan Ozymandias’ and after calling this out, I found and commented about his posts painting bill gates as another enemy, while never bringing up any pharmaceutical or oil tycoons. My comments were removed, but are still viewable in the mod log and I got replies for days after from the support troll accounts trying to keep the drama going. Seems obvious to me, but the mods took Aryan Ozymandias’ side and that’s a shame for the biggest group on a trans-positive server like Blahaj Lemmy.


  • I see it, too. Had an issue with one account with they/them pronouns in the username, in the profile is a Spotify of copy pasted (no organized favorites) albums by bands with famously transphobic audiences.
    There is an entire subreddit called AsABlackMan that started from a white republican lobbyist forgetting to switch accounts on Twitter.
    It’s absolutely worth checking the profile and history of a suspected troll. They have trouble maintaining the illusion or they need to signal to other trolls, either way there’s almost always clues.
