I swear, ~~every time~~ most of the time I see someone being particularly rude, ignorant, and inappropriate on a post (usually political in origin, or they swing it to being political) I click on their profile and see it has been created that same day.

They are only there to sow discord. Only to piss people off. Idk if we can just report them (for what?) but I'd like to try exposing them before responding and interacting..

I am guilty of gobbling up the bait. I've started looking at profiles of people that piss me off exceptionally and noticed they're burner bot loser accounts.

I guess i just want to say I've noticed it!

They are probably created by Reddit to make everyone lose interest in Lemmy /s

That's why huge instances are bad, they can't moderate all those users (I am on a bigger instance myself tho don't judge me).

We can expect this with any system that grows in size, becomes popular right? I don’t know the science behind it, but communities over a certain size naturally create subcommunities or attract partisans, antagonists, anarchists with a tendency to troll for fun. It’s the way of things.

I believe THIS is exactly what is being talked about when they say "Russian troll farm"

Why yes, we even had a balrog...

[-] thorbot@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yes. I hardly look at Lemmy any more. It’s so toxic

But you made a post less <2 days ago, and commented over 50 times just this past week

So, did you just VERY recently start "hardly looking" or something? Or are you just trolling/full of ~~shit~~ bologna?. No hard feelings or anything, but damn; low effort. Be better
