I haven't seen them go quiet.
Me either.
I haven't seen a single one of them get a post on the Hot page of lemmy since election day, but they sure came out to this comments section!
It's because mods in places like this sub delete their posts and centrists on /all downvote such posts in places like leftymemes.
Fediverse feels real glow-ey lately. Thought it would stop after the election, but the train full of removed comments here that all happen to be people from the same side of the arguement is fucking wild.
Yeah I think it's just a bunch of well off stressed centrist liberals are taking out their frustration in the comfort of anonymity on the poorer leftists of this site.
It's happening even in like gardening communities where someone called me a bastard for caring about weeds and then spent multiple comments insulting me directly.
They need someone to punch down on and have decided who is easy and are setting up in groups.
There is always a new user base to blame too from them on who they need to block from .world to make their world finally perfect. I saw that last time I called out .world for its rudeness and they all told me to block other people, not them.
It's just mad liberals probably most of them who helped fund Harris's campaign and "stooped so low to volunteer" deciding they want to take their pound of flesh back from anyone else here they can get their anger off on.
Not quite sure what this means
Since the election season ive felt a huge tone change and heard narratives that feel unnatural in the spaces they're posted in. I think some group is doing that on purpose. Even after the reddit exoduses this place did not feel like it does now until things like .world banning piracy communities and pushing mfcb bot everywhere.
