I just want to take a moment to recognize the fact that you came here, a month late, to comment something fuckin so brilliantly beautiful that it still managed 3 downvote. This is the best. Thanks man.

Okay. Me too. Meet ya in the next thread where I'll explain to everyone what a troll you are. See ya soon

[–] Ohthereyouare 0 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Because you are a troll. You post lies and nonsense, then come to the comments of every thread and act a fool.

Which article do you mean? Sorry, I'm pretty dumb. Please explain your stance to me? What type of tankie are you referring to? I'm not smart enough to understand. Please elaborate. I'm a troll.

You're a cancer on society.

What is trolling? Describe it in your own words. English isn't my first language, I'm from Bangladesh-stan.

I only speak Bangladesh-stany. So, please elaborate your ideas? Gracias, por favor, arbor, de la puerta?!

Sorta agree actually. I've watched his videos before and they're alright. That title though...

Crippled? This is great news! The war should be over tomorrow

Old? Just check most places on Lemmy. The amount of tankie alts is huge. They're everywhere on Lemmy. I've only been here a month and it's clear as day.

This is actually an interesting take.

And, I almost tend to agree. They're awfully tough to digest, even with empathy. Their tactics are.. bad?

It's almost like an abused animal that you'd like to help. But, it's such a threat that you kinda have to leave it be. Every time you try to feed it, it bites and scratches you,and everyone around you.

At some point, despite the empathy, you just let it starve.

You'll find no shortage of irony in the Lemmygrad scene, I assure you.

That's why I came here too. Then, it was infested with tankies. Been a strange experience so far.

Ah, nice. I gave big world small Sasha a follow

I'm enjoying Lemmy so far, for the most part.

Everything here is pretty good save for the fact that all the news and politics I can find is dominated by the same few accounts.

Half or more of the accounts have a very clear agenda. They modify headlines. Lie. Spread disinformation. And generally are just extremely toxic groups.

It doesn't seem to be a secret here either. And moderators appear to have no interest in putting a stop to it.

So, where are you subbed to for reliable news and US/Global politics?

 

This group all seem to have multiple accounts on multiple instances.

I almost pointed it out in my first thread here, but it wasn't clear at first what was going on.

If you look a little closer, you'll see they post a lot wild shit there. But, they also spam a lot of their stuff all over Lemmy without the lemmygrad.ml instance.

They post altered articles and inflammatory disinformation at a rate faster than even some of the bots can compete with.

About a week now since I joined Lemmy. It seemed to me at first that place like this, where the tech knowledge prerequisites are a little higher than Reddit or Twitter, and being a lot of Reddit refugees, would be a bit of a liberal haven.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against discourse, although these days that is trying at best. But, in the last few days I've been running into a lot of bullshit MAGA style nonsense on Lemmy.

And, I gotta say, that's a bit disappointing.

 

Leaving Reddit and Twitter and looking for alternative ways to stay up to date on the Russian invasion of Ukraine. This seems to be the community with the highest subscriber count.

Here's some of the places I'm following. If you have other good sources, please share them.
