Is it bots? Are those humans whos mission is to cause chaos? Is the weird behaviour caused by the creation of the concept of lemmy?

Somebody please explain to me wtf is going on.

They answer destructive comments, assuming shit, demanding shit. Are they trolls?

Are they being paid for causing chaos? It’s insane

    It’s a combination of tankies and some more level headed leftists. They do have a decent proportion of OK users and the occasional decent meme, but the frequent genocide denialism and too many tankies have resulted in a lot of blocks and bans.

      I’m sort of new to Lemmy, having only been here a few months, and I started my first account here in world, the one I am commenting with.

      What I found is that world has many cool and fun and interesting communities, but for news ( world or USA centered) is really centralist USA based. World has cut off access to many other cool and interesting communities that may have different viewpoints here and there.

      I think the few experiences by trolls here from other communities is more of a walled garden thing, and if world has a more inclusive mix this would solve a lot of issues .

      Me migrating to another instance still allows me to participate here in world, and I simply ignore what I don’t like here and elsewhere.

      Honestly, world has as many issues with gatekeeping and power hungry mods as instances and the only way to get the full lemmy experience is to pick and chose what fits best with oneself

        You say be more inclusive of tankies and I say learn about the paradox of tolerance.

          It’s not wall to wall tankees , this is only a minority. Which for the non tanker, can be avoided and ignored.

          I was talking more of a general problem by deciding what I wanted to censor myself rather than letting others do it for me. Baby and bath water analogy and all that.

          And this extends way beyond tankees and piracy.

          And since people are talking about hexbear, it does have the best Syrian news coverage

            If you call out genocide denialism you get banned. That’s enough for me to consider it wall to wall tankies

              Yep. If you have nine tankies sitting at a table and a person joins them you have 10 tankies sitting at the table. It works the same as it does for fascists.

              It’s like saying that there we’re good people in Nazi germany. Therefore we should have tolerated Hitler. Why?
