In the past few weeks I feel like I’ve seen a lot more conservative comments being posted on Beehaw. Where before it seemed like occasionally some dazed right-winger would wander through now and then, it now seems a bit more like they specifically show up to any thread that brushes up against one of their pet issues.
The most recent example I’ve noticed is around the stuff with the Ladybird devs being weird about being asked to use inclusive pronouns, but it seems like a pattern.
Has anyone else noticed this? Any thoughts on a course of action other than blocking them all individually or reporting particularly grievous examples?
I really would be disappointed to see every single thread here slowly inundated with pettiness and hate.
It definitely seems like it. There’s also been surprisingly high amounts of upvotes on questionable comments lately. I wouldn’t be surprised if lemmy as a whole is getting astroturfed, but I can’t say that for certain because I rarely venture out of Beehaw. Don’t be afraid to make a report if you see something.
