I’m not a troll, I just call other people out for their BS.
I think most of lemmy.today is bad faith astroturfing.
This is not the first time !PapaSkwat@lemmy.today has preemptively banned me from a community I’m pretty sure I’ve never interacted with.
This is a warning for others. Do not assume posts on Lemmy.today are real or in good faith.
Here is a related post with similar circumstances.
I honestly enjoy your content and respect you from what I have seen you do so far, but your instance has problems I can’t ignore.
PS, I never called your instance fascist or anti-woke. However due to the work of papaskwat and donaldjmusk I think most of lemmy.today is bad faith astroturfing. And I do avoid it for the most part because of that.
I appreciate that.
I’m referencing this further down in the comments.
What problems does my instance have? How is DJM astroturfing?
Here is his comment: https://infosec.pub/comment/22883460
He said that in response to me posting this article: https://techcrunch.com/2026/07/24/us-accuses-american-of-allegedly-wiping-his-phone-using-a-duress-password-during-border-search/
I have no clue how he thinks that would be a fascist thing for me to post, and I have no clue why he would think any of my posts are fascist.
The overuse of the word “fascist” is what troubles me. People using that word simply because they are annoyed by something, cheapens the very real suffering that the real word is meant to describe.
