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

    Tribalism is a hell of a drug, and generally speaking people don’t like it when you support fascists that aren’t on your team.

    That said, I don’t think my instance is federated with them so I only see their comments in rare circumstances, and even then half their takes are straight from RT

      According to https://midwest.social/instances, it does not appear that your instance has blocked hexbear (see blocked tab), so your not seeing much of them seems to reinforce the idea that blocking them doesn’t seem justified. (Edited for clarity).

        I block them through the app too lol

        That’s definitely not perfect though. You won’t see the instance itself but they’ll pop up in comments
