I think most of them are actually tankies, which lemmy unfortunately are rife with. Their behaviour and opinions, especially on Putin’s Ukrainian invasion, are completely indistinguishable from the right winger’s opinions on the matter.
Which is unsurprising, since both groups uncritically just regurgitate Russian talking points on the subject.
Its not about wanting to hear opinions that match my own. Its about not wanting to hear obvious trolls, like the guy claiming the republicans that voted against this are far-left extremists, or the guy talking about how were funding Nazis and being Russophobic. They are very clearly not sensible comments made in good faith.
Because he’s implying there are no actual troll accounts and I’m just angry that people disagree with me, when that’s not the case. Lots of comments here are obvious troll posts
Honestly, not trying to be argumented here, but I think sometimes it is exactly just that, people using the excuse of ‘obvious troll’ to block, and not examine what they’re doing themselves more fully.
It also seems to be more of a generational thing, though it could be more of a bot thing, trying to shape the narrative (“Block those who do not think like how we want you to think you!”), which is a more recent phenomenon.
Sometimes maybe, but when someone is claiming that all the republican senators that voted agains this are far-left extremists, im not going to accept that as a good faith argument.

Yes, people have learnt how to deal with bad faith actors.
This thread is about American money paying for said war, and yes, it is a pointless war for the US to be involved in considering it has no bearing on us.
Wtf is with the massive influx of right wing losers/ troll farm accounts on this thread. I’ve never seen this many on lemmy before
It’s a fantastic honeypot. I blocked a couple dozen trolls and went about my day to a cleaner Lemmy experience. 👍
And its great because you can see the activity on comments so its really easy to feel like youve done some spring cleaning

school is out so the edgy teens need a place to congregate
It’s only going to grow. Conservatives are worse than cockroaches at infesting anything good.

Its how you win elections just mass spread everywhere. Or make people not vote
Jesus Christ there’s so many
Reddit migration.
It was expected.
Don’t worry you can cus them out in the comments
Which comments
I’m not one of them, but if you only want opinions that match your own then what’s the point?

The down votes you received for this baffles yet leaves me unsurprised.

Disagreeing with your opinion does not make someone a troll. Baseless accusations make you one though.
Probably because any one can join in, not only, “lefty apologists”
I am choosing not to say any thing one way or another.
If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice
TIL if you’re against pointless wars you’re a “right wing loser”. I thought liberals were for peace.
Defending your democratic country from the foreign invasion of a fascist regime.
How pointless indeed. /s
Last I checked, ukraine is not part of the US, and thus, the US is not under invasion
They were talking about Ukraine/Russia.

Thank you for demonstrating my point freind
“Pointless” is in the eye of the beholder.
