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?

I would say that depends, but since most of the liberals that are entering here are clearly trolling, I think that you are right.
“Why don’t more people agree with my shitty takes, it’s not fair!”
Oh shit, sorry, I was drunk and thought I was on hexbear. That’s my bad. Oopsie
Actually i find a lot of people who arent pre-poisoned by anticommunist propaganda to agree with my takes…the issue isnt normal people, its smug redditors who have been smoking anticommunist propaganda directly from fascists and the cia/fbi for the entirety of their political consciousness
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).
oh i don’t know, there are plenty of people in the world that have weird fixations and nothing better to do
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.
I think they meant “as the US government, you don’t want the fediverse becoming socialist”
They flocked to lemmy when the reddit API debacle happened.
I had an inactive account since Reddit banned MoreTankieChapo, the API debacle and the release of Sync for Lemmy got me here. Sync is ok but I’m waiting for Boost which should release soon and will likely attract even more fence sitters.
Why are you lot so obsessed with reddit? Have ever considered that the way people speak on reddit is just the way people talk in general? Reddit did not invent linguistic trope. I digress.
“It’s interesting that you criticize communism, yet everything you own is made in China (often by a subsidiary of some state-owned corporation). If you like capitalism so much, who don’t you buy US-made only? – or if you can’t, start your own company in your wonderful free market?”
That line has lost me at least one friendship.
