I don’t read r/conservative much but what I’ve seen is they keep banning actual conservatives because they correctly call out what Trump is doing on things where it’s not about left and right but right and wrong.

Some people are saying that it could be coincidental. OP asks why would the two accounts who post so regularly just happen to both stop at the same time on that day.

    It’s probably happeneing here on Lemmy, too. Granted, I can be abrasive, but the lovely mods here delete my posts almost every time I engage with a fucking stinking Yuri bot.

      It’s worse here. At least r/conservative is just bots. There are plenty of idiots here who proudly spew Russian propaganda

      I think it’s here, but the tactics are a little different.

      What I’m seeing are political posts that stand a good chance of rallying people, uniting a front of some kind, and yielding fruit that could very well be positive action.

      Trolls/state-actors/whoever see this and sow dissent and start pointless arguments, tying up over 50% of the visible space for discussion under the post. These cats are incredibly good at crafting troll-bait and it shows: the chaos crowds out everything good going on. And this happens every, single, time. It’s hard to see this and not think that it’s orchestrated somehow.

      Also, if you keep a tally of the flavor of troll-bait being put out there, patterns emerge. Nudging people to start a US civil war is a very common one.

      I think all mods would have to do is disallow changes of topic under threads, forcing them out to the top-level. That may cure any toxic piggybacking, letting the trollbait languish further down the page or get down-voted appropriately.

                Trump thinks nicknames are worthy, because he thinks it hurts feelings (don’t forget, his development fully arrested around the 4th grade), which means it would also hurt his feelings if he was called names.

                And I love to see his feelings hurt. He should never live a day of peace in life, in which he isn’t constantly worrying and fighting about how much literally everyone he knows, and doesn’t know, despises and disrespects him.

                My preferred name for him is HitlerPig, ever since I heard that was the name the younger staffers in the Biden White House called him.

                  Okay, but you’re tilting at windmills. These people are never going to hear your voice nor see your words, and I doubt they’d be hurt by some rando who means nothing to them calling them names.

                    But they do hear it, due to the power of the Internet, and they know that by the time they’ve heard it, it’s already flooded across the world, and BILLIONS of people are laughing at them.

                    They KNOW it because they count on using it the same way against their own enemies, so they really HATE it when the tables are turned. Remember how apoplectic they got when Tim Walz called them Weird?

                    And that’s why we should do it as often as possible.

                  I think most people find the nicknames tiresome and I personally think less of anyone I see writing stupid shit like that. Could be a psyop to discredit Trump detractors by making them seem ridiculous with all the dumb name calling. Outside of a particular bubble you never see that shit.

              the comments were moderated on .world, not .ml idk why you’re making it about that.

              anyway the guy just essentially called me a cockroach, or at least he thinks of me as one. that’s why he sounds fashy as fuck

                You are becoming just as much of a call-outable .ml weirdo as any of the top users. It’s both obvious and sad.

                At a certain point doesn’t the word nazi just lose all meaning when you use it when your feefees get hurt. You’re seeing fascists and Nazis every where you look, it’s becoming the word you use when you disagree, it’s fucking cringe.

                Like seriously, it’s weird.

                  the guy calls everyone he disagrees with Russian, and cockroaches, I don’t think you’re in any position to complain about me identifying what I see him as in return.

                  At a certain point doesn’t the word nazi just lose all meaning when you use it when your feefees get hurt.

                  for me it’s generally reserved for the people who absolutely revel in dehumanizing other humans.

                    I mean that is literally is cheapening the word. Using nazi to mean = i didn’t like what this person called me and I’m going to take the implication as fast as is goes. I can’t imagine how hyperbolic the bubble that uses terms like nazi when their thin skin is lightly grazed is. But clearly you have embraced it.

                    You don’t like that this guy calls everyone Russian and cockroaches, so you call him a Nazi. The Overton window describes the most incredible bifrucations.

                  I’m not defending Russia or the south. But going “it’s not racist if it’s true” is what hillbillies say after they make a racist statement about black people.

                  “He was gonna steal it until I said something” “Thats deeply racist.” “It’s not racist if it’s true!”
