Does anyone else notice an uptick of extreme troll accounts?

ettyblatant@lemmy.world to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 419 points –

I swear, every time most of the time I see someone being particularly rude, ignorant, and inappropriate on a post (usually political in origin, or they swing it to being political) I click on their profile and see it has been created that same day.

They are only there to sow discord. Only to piss people off. Idk if we can just report them (for what?) but I'd like to try exposing them before responding and interacting..

I am guilty of gobbling up the bait. I've started looking at profiles of people that piss me off exceptionally and noticed they're burner bot loser accounts.

I guess i just want to say I've noticed it!

In my experience, Lemmy is not as censored as Reddit

You can disagree here, as long as you keep it civil, all is good

Lmao. I went 14 years on Reddit without getting a single site ban, and barely lasted 14 days on .ml without getting banned for very controversial statements about, eg, that time Russia shot down a civilian airliner in Ukraine. And pointing out that the US revolution generally didn't involve much mass rape. And calling out genocide denial on hexbear. And then mocking these petty bans. I'm sure this will get me another one.

Not a metric but ok

Rest of keyboard diarrhea

Again, not what you say but how you say it

Sounds like you are proud of them ...

I think that one is better off not discussing these topics online at all.

I have never seen anything good come out of it, anywhere. Ever

Lmao, thank you mods for proving my point that .ml is heavily censored.
