There are a lot of tanky posts coming from lemmy.ml. Their whole purpose seems to be to troll and spread their bullshit far and wide. They are nearly as bad as the alt-right. They argue in bad faith and celebrate authoritarian oppression. The beehaw mods might want to consider defederating.

I’ve been thinking the same thing. Don’t count out China either. I wouldn’t be surprised if a good portion of these accounts are part of a campaign to paint left-leaning people as violent and to attempt the same sort of radicalisation that has been successful turning young men into fascists ever since Gamer Gate. The memes, invading of space where the target groups hang out online, more memes, genocide apologists, yet more memes. The memes are especially important for this strategy, though I don’t think they’ve hit on anything as potent as the gaming, misogyny, and dog whistle memes that appeal to guys in their teens and 20s.
