Yeah…. That shit is going on right here on lemmy. Some of them have even allowed to be come so popular, we know them by name.
Ozma, yogthos, tokenboomer, alcoholicorn... am I forgetting anyone?
.ml .ee
Is .ee one of the ones with bad rep? I picked it randomly.
It's not as bad as ml who actively filter content they don't like.
Starts with “L,” ends with “bann.”
Knew I was letting someone out. How non-inclusive of me lol
UniversalMonk potentially
Honesrly: tokenboomer likely is all those accounts as well.
You will notice that anytime you respond to boomer with disagreement, multiple accounts will begin flooding you, and they all brave in and out of the conversations as if they are the ones who said things said by others.
You wouldn't expect a paid professional to be so sloppy, but on the other hand, if he was good at his job, he wouldn't be working for Hamas.
I think Lemmy is so tiny that those named below truly are just utter idiots doing that work for free.
I don't rule it out. The prior era of "reddit alternatives" in the Voat era was quickly overrun too even though they were very small. The key to the internet has always been first mover advantage. If they have enough power to manipulate the top sites, it would take very little to hedge bets on budding platforms. They risk losing their advantage if a replacement platform establishes itself without them. That's pretty much the whole history of modern tech. To actively seek and snuff out your competitors.
Someone always has to be king shit of whatever hill they're on.
