Memba reddit comments circa 2016 election? I memba.
Washington Post gift article - Russian trolls target U.S. support for Ukraine, Kremlin documents show
Oh me too! I ‘memba!
I don’t know if 50k people, at least a third of whom are outside of the US is a big enough target or if I’m being naïve in thinking that
I was thinking the same thing. It’s definitely not a coordinated propaganda thing. Some people are just assholes. And they like to troll.
But who knows, maybe someone, somewhere, knows about lemmy—some government/interest group—and think it’s worth it because it can be accessed through mastodon, blue sky, etc. The fediverse seems to be a relatively popular subject these days. So, I dunno. Maybe.
But I think some people just suck and think trolling is a good pastime.
My old comments would have had me banned a hundred times over today.
Jesus what kind of shit did you used to say lol
I was fresh off the bus from 4chan and is was the same culture in the early days.
