    Because they are campists. I’m still convinced it’s like 75% edgy teenagers, 10% state sponsored information warfare, and 15% right wingers trying to see how stupid they can make “leftists” look before getting called out.

        There are factually propagandists seeding atrocious ideas in nearly all communities, especially during and after breakaways like 4 months ago. Given the use of AI and scripting, and not to mention the nearly complete absence of countermeasures for either one on a relatively naive space like lemmy, a handful of people are definitely fomenting divisiveness. Subtle white supremacists, surreptitious state actors, website advertisers etc…

        Tl;dr: I’ve personally found a few sprinkled about.
