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?

    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

      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.
