Has anyone else noticed this, across the fediverse, Lemmy specifically. A lot of new users, but also a lot of first posts that are very inflammatory/rage baity.

Do we have another legit influx of new users? Or do we just have some bad actors trying to stir the pot? Or maybe I’m imagining it.

      We have a saying “People who think too highly of themselves and can’t fix their problems will always make up a bogeyman to blame”

      Did the tankies lead you to support the genocide? Did the tankies keep you from keeping Israel/US accountable for their crimes?

      No buddy, your “countries” did those all on their own and were proud of it. The countries are only changing their tone as the hypocrisy is failing to keep up with the lies.

      But you do you. You’re such good guys and have never done bad to anyone else and also “never” fought among yourselves.

      If it takes some Chinese and Russian trolls to divide you, you’re never really “together” bud. But again whatever makes you sleep at night.

                Get fucked tankie roach!

                You don’t speak Ukrainian (or russian) and you’ve never been to eastern Ukraine (or any part of Ukraine).

                So don’t play dumb with me, you stupid degenerate!

                    Are you dumb? Why in god’s name do you think I would want to talk to you?

                    You know nothing about Ukraine, Donbas or even probably Russia. You wouldn’t be able to name 3 basic historical facts about Donbas if your life depended on it.

                    Hope you end up like Donbas Cowboy, Russell Bentley.

                    Bentley’s wife, Lyudmila, then claimed that Russian soldiers from a tank battalion abducted him.

                    According to the Investigative Committee, Vansyatsky, Agaltsev, and Iordanov tortured Bentley on April 8, and he died shortly afterward.

                    Vansyatsky and Agaltsev are suspected of blowing up a car with Bentley’s body in it and ordering Bazhin to get rid of what was left of his remains.

                    A good end for a tankie, eh? Imagine what was going through his mind as his fellow russians were torturing him? At least he realized the error of his ways (even for a very short moment).

        So people are just pretending that astroturfing by foreign nations isn’t real now? Cool.
