A longtime GOP operative helped the Green Party’s Jill Stein get on the N.H. ballot. Democrats smell mischief.
  • You might be right that this is all their motivation is, but the timing and singular topic of interest is far too suspicious for me to ignore. I mean they definitely take pleasure in being a deranged hall monitor, though, don't get me wrong.

    As for accusing them of being a troll... We are simply discussing a hypothetical user. No one has mentioned any username. No rules broken here! </HallMonitorVoice>

  • 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.

  • Normal people don't care about downvotes. But when it's like a 10:1 ratio in favor of downvotes and nearly every commenter is mad at you, it's pretty self explanatory that something is up with your mental health. Maybe instead of post content like it's a part time job, some therapy would help out? Everyone sees the many red flags.

  • 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.

    Unilem.org Offline

    Anyone know what happened to unilem.org? It was my main lemmy instance for several weeks, then it just went poof. It's been down I think over a week.

    PS. thanks to whoever removed it from the list @ https://join-lemmy.org/instances -- initially I was going to post here to point out that it probably should be removed.

    PPS. I did not join that instance because they said they will federate with everyone -- I just saw it in the list and randomly picked it. I only learned about their federation policy when trying to find out what may have happened to it a couple days ago.
