I’ve seen around 3 occasions of that this week, altho I have never seen anything like it before.
if I remember correctly they were:
- smack talking a mod (FlyingSquid) for saying not to report the same comment twice, when they were different comments, and the report was spam
- someone comparing .world with .ml in politics (as in there was a comment saying "this post will be overrun with .ml people, and then a comment going “but you are from .world”) (Maybe Im part of the problem? I have been called out for being a fascist because I questioned the “puching nazis” theme)
- one more which I can’t remember.
Anyways, what is all that about? Are people really starting to hate on 50% of the lemmy population because of their instance?
That’s not true! There are also useful idiots as well as actors (only the latter of which realize that a game is even being played). So the number of “people” is lower than apparent, yet nonzero.
As soon as you find a filter to segregate useful idiots from malfeasant LLMs please share!
Until then the whole mess gets tagged and flagged.
