Is it bots? Are those humans whos mission is to cause chaos? Is the weird behaviour caused by the creation of the concept of lemmy?

Somebody please explain to me wtf is going on.

They answer destructive comments, assuming shit, demanding shit. Are they trolls?

Are they being paid for causing chaos? It’s insane

I’ve had contact to single toxic people. But never encountered such a mass of such toxicity and to suchan extend.

The community is based on fandom of a podcast that champions antagonizing liberals.

They encourage vocally expressing disagreement and disapproval and don't have downvotes to facilitate that.

This runs counter to most instances that tend to prefer disagreement and disapproval be expressed quietly through downvotes.

So they tend to culture clash.

So liberals like quietly shutting up people they disagree with and leftists shout at each other to get their points across...

Sounds about right.
