Is it bots? Are those humans whos mission is to cause chaos? Is the weird behaviour caused by the creation of the concept of lemmy?

Somebody please explain to me wtf is going on.

They answer destructive comments, assuming shit, demanding shit. Are they trolls?

Are they being paid for causing chaos? It’s insane

Different instance, different ideology.

Example: there used to be a nazi insrance called exploding-heads.com (or was it .net?anyways, doesnt matter), basically you just dont interact with them, eventually they got defedersted by many instances.

Lemmygrad and Hexbear are Marxist Leninists, the same ideology of USSR and China. Get it now?

If you disagree, just block their instance in your user settings.

Unfortunately, blocking an instance in settings don't block their users from commenting in other instance's communities. So you gotta either (1) use an app to block the users too, or (2) find an instance that defederates them.

What I really like about lemmy is the system critical mentality.

I don’t have a problem with people having different political ideologies. But I think that constructive discourse is in everyone interest. These people dgaf. They are everything but constructive.

Regardless of ideology, there are just some people with whom you will never be able to have a rational discussion.

Tankie authoritarians...maga incels...the block button works on them all.

It... Depends. There are ways of having a productive discourse. But it's slow, and it doesn't work well online.

Ahhh, that's what the alt-right instance was called. Thank you. I was consistently getting hexbear and exploding heads crossed in my head. For ... some reason.
