    The post we are all commenting on? Moderator burnout doesn’t come from unicorn farts…

      Oh I had no idea. But it makes sense, cause I never see any Russian troll shit on here.

        Does it make sense though? Does it make sense that a niche English language social media instance war caused to shutdowns by “Russians”?

    Certain kinds of people blame Russia for all bad things in their life

      A lot of those people would be correct :)

        “I stubbed my toe, Damn You Russia!”

        You: “this person is reasonable and correct”

      I get your point, some people do blame everything on certain groups, but this is about an internet stereotype, and everyone, or at least most people, know that stereotypes have to be true to some extent.

      I’ve come across my fair share of Russian trolls, which are the majority for my case, and next are American trolls.

      I’d assume that most of the people complaining about Russian trolls I’ve seen on Lemmy and other social media are from the USA or the EU, and for context, I’m from Australia, so it isn’t one specific area in the world that experiences it, it’s global, making it even more valid of a stereotype since it’s so omnipresent.

        No actually, they don’t.

        I’ve come across my fair share of Russian trolls, which are the majority for my case

        Really? And how did you determine that? Because unless you actually had some way of verifying that they were “Russian trolls”, you’re just begging the question and assuming what you already believed.

        I’d assume that most of the people complaining about Russian trolls I’ve seen on Lemmy and other social media are from the USA or the EU, and for context, I’m from Australia

        In other words; people who are overwhelmingly more likely to be interacting with anglosphere trolls than Russian ones.

        so it isn’t one specific area in the world that experiences it

        A bunch of anglophones western countries is very much “one specific area in the world”

        since it’s so omnipresent.

        Is it? How exactly have you determined it to be “omnipresent”? Sounds like you’re just engaging in extremely circular reasoning.

  To be fair there are a lot of American tankies as well.

    Nothing, they’re just one of those people who thinks everything is a Russian conspiracy

  Yes, lemm.ee is shutting down because of a sinister foreign conspiracy.
