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?

I would say that depends, but since most of the liberals that are entering here are clearly trolling, I think that you are right.
“Why don’t more people agree with my shitty takes, it’s not fair!”
I’m just gonna pre-emptively smoke your pack before your redditor shit gets purged
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
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”
my brain doesn’t work well anymore, that still took me a few reads to understand, thanks
Yes forgive my bad grammar
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.
