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?

    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.

            After getting banned for rancid, homophobic, sexist, and downright bizarre views, they spent the next few months operating a hate campaign in which created dozens of accounts and then spammed users, mods, and admins with deranged rants, death threats, doxxing threats, and the most inane, bizarre, and psychotic messages you can think of.
