    Can’t wait for this to become a systemic issue with Lemmy. Why does everything have to be ruined by tankies and conservatives? They know that nobody wants to talk to them, but they will evade and disrespect the rules just to make other people miserable.

    What a sad hobby.

      A lot of them are shills/bots. The Kremlin (maybe also the CCP, not sure) is supporting a bunch of political extremes, whether they agree with them or not.

      Divide and conquer in a digital age.

          Some are useful idiots, the core is paid shills. I’d be surprised if they’re not also starting to use LLMs.

            If they don’t get talking points directly from a trollfarm, someone influential over there watches a lot of Russian propaganda.

            On the other hand, they do love yelling at libs to stop supporting the Gaza genocide, so I like them until they also start bitching about fighting a fascist invasion.

            Pick your goddamn lane

              They want to amplify the atrocities Israel is committing in Gaza because it increases the probability Trump gets elected, which would be a huge win for the Kremlin.

              I’d guess there’s backroom deal making with Iran as well given the political dynamics there.
