I think people like PugJesus are great because they bring here the content we need?
Yes, but in addition to the history memes and other good and unique content, PugJesus also isn't a tankie, and sometimes even argues vocally with tankies. cm0002 is the same.
I suspect that's what's actually behind this: Some kind "Mean Girls" effort to damage someone's reputation because they are giving wrongthink to the community. Maybe I'm paranoid. At face value, though, the whole thing of "HOW DARE YOU PUT MEMES IN MY MEME COMMUNITY EVERY DAY ARGBLGRBGLRBG I'M SO ANGRY NOW" makes so little sense that I think it's safe to assume that something else is the reason.
I think having a specific beef with tankies and going out of your way to aggravate them instead of just putting them on block says quite a lot about a person living in the second rise of fascism
I don't think he's going out of his way to aggravate them. I think he's encouraging other people to not interact with them and calling attention to some of their bad behavior. I do think that makes sense. Some people care a lot about the truth, and it'll really aggravate them to have people being hostile and dishonest all over their social network, posting propaganda, attacking or banning anyone who disagrees with them, just generally being cocks. They'll want to "fix" it or at least draw attention to it as a problem. That makes sense to me.
Maybe it is a little extra to even care about these weird text-only networks to that extent... but I do get it. It makes sense to me. He's not just doing it for no reason. And yes, that is important in or out of fascism. Having at least one little electronic network where people can talk about these things and not have to be banned or attacked if they say the wrong thing does seem like an important thing, maybe more so the more that truth is under attack on the outside.
He's made multiple communities about them and then links to the communities/posts, then also does it in other communities.
And how many communities and posts has he made about fascists? A few posts, no communities.
How many about terminally online weirdos who think LARPing as revolutionaries and simping for Stalin? It's about 50% of his posts when he's not making memes about Rome like a Xitter user.
He spends more trolling Tankies and being a redditor about online debates than he does doing anything about fascism.
But you ask his favorite political party to do more to stop fascism, he'll ban you from every community he mods, even if you weren't saying it in any of them.
He hates leftists more than he hates the fascists in office that impact his life then terminally online Tankies who LARP as revolutionaries.
He also scans his username often on Lemmy, so I'm sure before the end of the week he'll demand you reply to him as he bans you. Or he'll stalk public discord and matrix servers and then say they're obsessed with him.
Lol you're overthinking it. I just don't want a single user dominating my feed, that's really all.
And you confused not wanting one user to dominate your feed with "this fuckwqd" "this shitty behavior" "shitty, bad faith action" "Then every single post from every one of these account is very heavily upvoted. Oh, that isn’t suspicious at all" "also an Ai simp" "Maybe some kind of probation could help?" "reflects extremely poorly on lemmy/threadiverse in general that this type of behaviour is tolerated at all let alone encouraged" and so on and so on.
You guys need to chill the fuck out lmao. He's posting stuff. That's what Lemmy is for. I get the complaint about doing it from different accounts if he's going to be a heavy poster of this perfectly normal content he is posting, I can agree with that part of it. But you guys can't be going fucking mental like he's trying to summon Cthulu in the basement and must be stopped at all costs, and then all of a sudden turn around like "calm down bro you're overthinking it's just not that serious" when people are trying to figure out what caused this towering issue about it.
I mean, that's cool. I just prefer my feed to feel more organic from a broader user base. Different strokes for different folks. That's what is cool about lemmy - you don't need to have the same cookie cutter experience. Block who you want and consume submissions from people you enjoy. More power to ya if you're into it. All good brother.
I feel like you need to be directing this calming energy at this guy. I'm perfectly calm, I was making jokes.
Nah. Not a guy.
Got 'em 😉😘
Zing!
So flooding communities with low effort reposted content is what we need?
