Yeah I definitely think you are onto something. The audience is much smaller but the advantage is that a lot of people here really are so left they despise Democrats and would probably be easier to convince not to vote than your typical Democratic voter. Trolling campaigns here would have a much more concentrated target audience. They already know they don't need to convince conservatives on mainstream social media.

Lol they just banned me from their super legitimate "socialism" community because they wanted to keep tabs on me but not be countered in public as much.

Yeah I agree with all of this. I do think it's a shame though that the rules are all they will go on. There ought to be some algorithm for determining likelihood of trolling. This dude would definitely be way over the threshold of any such algorithm that was worth a damn.

Yeah. I mean, them posting every 20 minutes starting 3 months before the election thing, despite getting constant pushback, makes me feel quite justified in my conclusion. Normal people just simply would never do what they're doing. Their motivation could be something else. But whatever it is, the behavior is very unhealthy and suspect.

Lol I love it. It's almost a badge of honor to be blocked by that user. They seem to want to be aware of people countering their troll campaign so they can bait those people into saying something that will get them banned. So you really must have upset them to get blocked.

I did the math last night. On average they've posted or commented about every twenty minutes, assuming they sleep 8 hours a day, since they created their account a month ago. Posting at this rate, almost entirely in favor of third parties. Hmmm.. I wonder why. They don't give a shit about third parties; only about keeping Democrats from getting votes.

You're being too generous by thinking they give two shits about third parties. That's just the angle they've chosen for Lemmy.

Yeah the people trying to elect trump will definitely reverse course if Harris does just one or two arbitrary things terminally online trolls have in mind

Probably just because you are bErZeRk

Your only principle is "if I have to do something, I'll do it, I guess".

I don’t have to explain anything to you

Again, no one said you had to. But you would, if there weren't something insidious behind this bizarre behavior.

[–] LifeGivesYouLemmys@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago (6 children)

You apparently are pretty confused. "you have to" and "you would" are extremely different phrases, and I never once implied they were similar. Only that you wouldn't need to pretend "the articles are interesting" is your motivation, in a context which implicates you as sketch af, if you weren't sketch af.

You'd simply explain it and avoid thousands of replies telling you how horrible you are. I guess it's possible you're a masochist who likes being insulted, but I think the other explanation is much more likely ;)
