Its puzzling and keep an eye out they seem to get posted weekly. And when someone points out the oddness in the comment they are soon deleted.
I know, normally the racist trolls do it for the engagement, not to immediately delete upon getting pushback. It's odd, this is entirely different.
Yea troll posting can be fairly obvious. I'm wondering if this is some sort of dog whistle or maybe someone using the platform for some kind of acceptance and tbh most replies to these posts aren't in the negative.
the posts & comments on .world's and lemm.ee's conservative communities use same oddly diplomatic wording as well, so i've been attributing it to conservative trolls making multiple accounts for the day they're banned somewhere.
Conservatives donβt often show up on new communities with blatant conservatism. Instead, they try their best to integrate into the culture then slowly turn things rightward. Hell, thatβs what happened to Reddit too.
agreed and i think it's the clearest indicator of the reddit-like nature of both of those instances.
Extremely strange.
