Comment on lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month
biggerbogboy@sh.itjust.works 3 days agoI 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.
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.
In other words; people who are overwhelmingly more likely to be interacting with anglosphere trolls than Russian ones.
A bunch of anglophones western countries is very much “one specific area in the world”
Is it? How exactly have you determined it to be “omnipresent”? Sounds like you’re just engaging in extremely circular reasoning.
