The elephant in the room is that they're mostly bots or bad actors. They're written almost exactly the same and in the same format. When you call them on it, you are downvoted almost instantly and buried. We usually don't qualify to get the really good ones in here, but that's a good thing imo.

Did you know: blocking all posts and comments from .ml makes the fediverse experience way, way better!

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

I don't engage with .ml

I just downvote everything from there and move on.

I prefer to see the patterns, I don't take it personally at all anymore. I'm a reddit veteran when they were 100x worse.

Geez, I wonder why baselessly accusing people of being bots would get you downvoted.

[–] wpb@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

mostly bots

Where are these bots targeting lemmy coming from you think?

I don't know if they are bots. But I would imagine Russia. Russia loves to have a weak US with Republicans in power and Trump subordinate to Putin, and one way to get that is to have people not vote for Democrats.
