There are a lot of tanky posts coming from lemmy.ml. Their whole purpose seems to be to troll and spread their bullshit far and wide. They are nearly as bad as the alt-right. They argue in bad faith and celebrate authoritarian oppression. The beehaw mods might want to consider defederating.
It’s almost as if the trolls from hexbear got lonely after being federated so heavily so they made new accounts on .ml. (Like how CTH turned into hexbear)
Instance blocking and user blocking isn’t a good long term solution as these types migrate often as to affect progressive communities who have already defederated.
The writing is on the wall, this space was created to give these types a platform.
I don’t think there really can be a long term solution for this sort of thing. I think we just have to block and such as they pop up, defederate if a threshold is crossed. I dunno.
These types are likely Russian and Chinese trolls, and a few useful idiots. This is all too similar to the Gamer Gate playbook.
