What is up with recent surge of libs? Before a few months there was that one downvoter every once in a while which was solved, now every there is at least one random lib in comments every few days, it’s like that for about 3 months.
Even if I think that Sankara’s ‘never stop explaining’ should be used frequently, I still think that we should always just respond with a random shitpost or reaction image to such comments. What do y’all think?

They like it that
It’s funny that
It’s ironic that
It’s interesting that
It’s almost as if
they talk like they’re reading from a smug Redditor flowchart.
Why are you lot so obsessed with reddit? Have ever considered that the way people speak on reddit is just the way people talk in general? Reddit did not invent linguistic trope. I digress.
It is almost as if Reddit is millions and millions of unique individuals that start sentences with it is almost as if.
I think they just began to notice the 'Grad. Remember - we are very much a minority in the fecal ocean that is the internet. For thirty years the anti-communist, pro-US propaganda went unchallenged, and it’s already been pervasive as hell for decades before that. We are surrounded on all sides, comrades
They flocked to lemmy when the reddit API debacle happened.
Lemmy’s Eternal September.
I had an inactive account since Reddit banned MoreTankieChapo, the API debacle and the release of Sync for Lemmy got me here. Sync is ok but I’m waiting for Boost which should release soon and will likely attract even more fence sitters.
It’s fine, they always end up getting dunked.
I think they should be free to lurk and we should direct content to radicalize them. Maybe one or two of them will actually develop some class consciousness.
I prefer the comments to the phantom downvoters. You can get some good dunks in on the former and there’s the chance someone stumbles across it and actually thinks for a few seconds. As far as how to respond to them, I don’t really want to dictate that. I think there is a place for a reasonable and rational response, a plus for dunks, and a place for pig memes.
I usually migrate from one to the next; I will engage in good faith at least to begin with. Doesn’t mean I think everyone should do the same if they don’t want to.
You wouldn’t care about downvotes. They’re as meaningless here as they were on Reddit. Off course most people don’t agree with you. You knew that anyway.
I still think that we should always just respond with a random shitpost
I would say that depends, but since most of the liberals that are entering here are clearly trolling, I think that you are right.
I love it though otherwise commies commenting on commie post is boring…
It could be US government actors. They would only need to have a handful of people on the job doing fedposting and they would be very visible on Lemmy compared to other platforms because of the small userbase
Also the constant dedication to downvoting seems like the behaviour of someone who is paid to do it. Otherwise why would you do that, normal people would get bored right? I don’t go and actively seek out online communities I disagree with to downvote their posts. That would be such a pathetic way to spend my time
Normal people would, but there are libs out there who genuinely believe downvoting or trolling communists on Lemmy is some brave stand against totalitarianism. I don’t think we need to assume any of them are getting paid. The West produces a surplus of terminally online people who want to attack communists without feds having to lift a finger (other than to dismantle education, ensuring more “patriots” attacking communists online).
Yeah, there’s definitely professionals in the mix sometimes though.
oh i don’t know, there are plenty of people in the world that have weird fixations and nothing better to do
I actually think it’s propaganda farms. You don’t want Mastodon or Lemmy or the fediverse becoming socialist as the US government. And unlike Meta and Reddit where they can control the platform through centralized control, the only way to control the fediverse is through farms. It’s not that expensive.
wait the US government is socialist?
I think they meant “as the US government, you don’t want the fediverse becoming socialist”
First comment on the 'Grad. Feels good. I like this place, let’s keep it safe from the libs.
“Why don’t more people agree with my shitty takes, it’s not fair!”
You should post this on the instances who defederated because they can’t stand to hear any viewpoints left of Margaret Thatcher
Very interesting point, now come this way
I’m just gonna pre-emptively smoke your pack before your redditor shit gets purged
Removed by mod
could we maybe tone it down on the pig poop?
Oh shit, sorry, I was drunk and thought I was on hexbear. That’s my bad. Oopsie
