I don’t mean those who are paid to do so -their motivation is obvious. I mean people who are destructive out of their own motivation and represent untenable points of view. Are they really serious about this?What’s the point?
I mean, it can’t all be the propaganda machine. What would be the point of trying that with Lemmy, who is paid for it?

What drives them to do it?
I don’t get that at all.
The response is the win. It means they’ve been heard/seen. Think of it like catcalls. They just want a reaction.
I think the single downvotes that pop up on most posts is a bot or something. I’ve seen people complain about it. No worries. Or maybe it’s a troll. 🤷
