This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

What is up with recent surge of libs? Before a few months there was that one downvoter every once in a while which was solved, now every there is at least one random lib in comments every few days, it's like that for about 3 months.

Even if I think that Sankara's 'never stop explaining' should be used frequently, I still think that we should always just respond with a random shitpost or reaction image to such comments. What do y'all think?

It could be US government actors. They would only need to have a handful of people on the job doing fedposting and they would be very visible on Lemmy compared to other platforms because of the small userbase

Also the constant dedication to downvoting seems like the behaviour of someone who is paid to do it. Otherwise why would you do that, normal people would get bored right? I don't go and actively seek out online communities I disagree with to downvote their posts. That would be such a pathetic way to spend my time

Normal people would, but there are libs out there who genuinely believe downvoting or trolling communists on Lemmy is some brave stand against totalitarianism. I don't think we need to assume any of them are getting paid. The West produces a surplus of terminally online people who want to attack communists without feds having to lift a finger (other than to dismantle education, ensuring more "patriots" attacking communists online).

Yeah, there's definitely professionals in the mix sometimes though.

After getting banned for rancid, homophobic, sexist, and downright bizarre views, they spent the next few months operating a hate campaign in which created dozens of accounts and then spammed users, mods, and admins with deranged rants, death threats, doxxing threats, and the most inane, bizarre, and psychotic messages you can think of.

I actually think it's propaganda farms. You don't want Mastodon or Lemmy or the fediverse becoming socialist as the US government. And unlike Meta and Reddit where they can control the platform through centralized control, the only way to control the fediverse is through farms. It's not that expensive.

wait the US government is socialist?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think they meant "as the US government, you don't want the fediverse becoming socialist"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Yes forgive my bad grammar

my brain doesn't work well anymore, that still took me a few reads to understand, thanks
