Who is yogthos and why is he all over the front page
I get past a few posts in all and then it’s just him posting in political communities.
Half of his stuff is downvoted
How do I stop seeing this? Is there way for blocking particular user to not see their posts?

From what I've gathered from others who've been bothered by them, they are a 'tankie' who fantasises about communism and thinks China is still a communist state. That they do so while living in a western democracy using all the tools of freedom of expression is an irony that's lost on them
they also twist themselves into knots defending Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine. Any attempt to engage in discussion with them is met with literally every logical fallacy in the book, along with insults, bullying, and dogpiling from other tankies that seemingly (and suspiciously) appear out of nowhere.
they’re extremely toxic.
My most upvoted comment on Lemmy so far is calling him one lol. I think it’s just that it feels like an anti-West “propaganda” account more so than an actual person and normally do not actually provide thoughtful unbiased looks into things without using whataboutism.
i'm glad there are some people willing to be anti-anti-NATO 🤔 brave of you
I wouldn't even call them communist, they just post pro-China propaganda. They're furthering the agenda of a specific government, not an economic ideal.
I just blocked them soon after joining so I don't have to see the braindead posts/comments they keep submitting.
