I swear, every time most of the time I see someone being particularly rude, ignorant, and inappropriate on a post (usually political in origin, or they swing it to being political) I click on their profile and see it has been created that same day.

They are only there to sow discord. Only to piss people off. Idk if we can just report them (for what?) but I’d like to try exposing them before responding and interacting…

I am guilty of gobbling up the bait. I’ve started looking at profiles of people that piss me off exceptionally and noticed they’re burner bot loser accounts.

I guess i just want to say I’ve noticed it!

    If you stalked my comment history, then you’re being extremely selective and disingenuous, or very lazy.

    “Death to Amerikkka” is not a critique either. But it is allowed by moderators. Do you condemn that equally?

    A political party is not a race.

    Death to the CCP.

    To quote @davel@lemmy.ml : Reporter, please learn the difference between a people and a state.

      Nah, I just checked the modlog against your name, I didn’t stalk it.

      I didn’t say “Death to Amerikkka” is a critique, you said critiquing the CCP gets you removed, but you didn’t critique the CPC as evidenced by the modlog. I think it was more cringe than anything.

        So in worldnews, being cringe is bannable if it’s against the CCP but not the US.

        I also paraphrased an upvoted comment on this subreddit that calls people who call it the CCP a racist Nazi.

        And you don’t think orientalism (the real kind) is also racist? That’s a weird nitpick you tried to employ.

          No, I think trying to deliberately provoke mods is cringe.

          Either way, you specifically equated racism to nazism, when I pointed out that you were specifically called racist, not a Nazi.

          I do think you should call it the CPC, as calling it the CCP is Orientalist.

              If there’s some racial component that makes this evil

              jesse-wtf

              That’s enough trolling for today, which ironically was what this post was about.

              Because Chinese Communist Party is language that puts an emphasis on the ethnic background, whereas Communist Party of China puts an emphasis on it being a party of the PRC.
