Are trolls more likely to be alt-right? Idunno, I think all sides can have the same ratio of trolls in them.
I'm sure for many trolls the goal is mainly to cause a reaction, and I think the alt-right stuff is an easy way to do so. Maybe that's a better way to put it.
Then there's the crowd that populated r/the_donald back in the day. Not sure how much of that was just trolling, but I'm certainly glad not to see that activity here.
Honestly seeing alt-right trolls here sounds logical, since Lemmy is definitely more progressive leaning.
True, but there's also a lovely Venn diagram where a significant overlap exists. No one's perfect, but a certain mindset definitely leans more towards being a dick to people than not.
