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

Thankfully those of us on world have not had to deal with them for the better part of a year. There's so much wrong there it's kind of hard to know where to begin.

All I will really say for now is that they are perfect anti advocates for the things at the surface level they advocate for.

You would think having a healthy discourse and talking to each other, exchanging ideas would be better to proliferate a certain ideology.

All they do is try to insult or demand one is an all knowing being. Some read my comment and assume I’m from us and have to know every agency there is.

If they want to bring their ideologies out there they should stop trying to be destructive. All they accomplish is a negative image of their movement.

It’s like a 14 yo has learned about communism and is now super edgy towards everybody because he thinks he’s hacked the system.

They existed on their own Lemmy instance for years before federating at some point last year.
So, they likely had their own way of interacting, commenting, moderating etc that worked for them, that they had used/built/developed themselves (I mean systems & rules, not software) for years.
And they federated shortly after the Reddit API exodus.
So an echo chamber of extreme left wing users suddenly getting to interact with a whole bunch of new people, and an inrush of more mainstream users. It made for an interesting 6 or so months.

I haven't had any bad interactions with them directly, however I have seen and disagreed with a lot of their behaviour.
Not sure if I have their instance blocked, or if my instance has defederated them.

Certain authoritarian ideologies and well, ideologies in general. Depend on rejecting ideas and evidence. Ideologies are ideal, but not real. So it tends to devolve into shouting and name calling. Leninists hypocritically haranguing liberals and vice versa etc.

I would definitely be down for some anarco communism. But I think it's offensive to repeat the misnomer that ML is communism. Or ever has, ever will lead to communism. Anyone who looks to enact change through brutal, murderous suppression via a vanguard party. Could hardly exude a more juvenile thinking vibe. That "it's okay/good when we do it" BS.

I learned something from your comment. Thank you.

Explains a lot of things that happen rn. Gaza, Ukraine, harsh cut between right/left.

Yes. Exactly.

The thing is they see anything remotely right of them as equal to being a card carrying SS Nazi. They have no capacity to consider shades of gray, incremental progress, etc. It's all or nothing, fuck you if you don't abide.

If you aren't dogmatically against absolutely positively every single detail of life in the west, you aren't good enough.
