I’ve been seeing this a lot from instances like hexbear and lemmygrad and my take is either cult members, paid trolls, brainwashed persons prone to pavlovian responses, or all of the above.
I just wish that as a user I could block instances.
This isn't unique to the far-left, though. It's a problem throughout the entire political spectrum.
It's rather dangerous to be creating echo chambers in a democracy, though. Democracy lives off of discourse between opposing views.
I would not call them far left tbh. There’s something else about them that irks me. It honestly feels more North Korean to me and that ain’t left by any stretch of the imagination. It seems to be more authoritarian minded.
