    I’ve brought this up too many times to count and honesty the responses are so cookie cutter that I swear 90% of ml users are Russian trolls/bots.

    we should just defederate from ml instances entirely but that would just force them to create .world accounts.

    there’s no good answer other than don’t interact with them. I’ve blocked lemmy.ml and pretty much block all troll accounts when they pop up.

      I really like the troll accounts. Being told that I should be killed in a genocide because I voted is exactly the kind of absurd humor I love

      And that works perfectly fine. Also, I like Lemmy the size it is now, but people who want to see Lemmy grow into a mainstream platform, are shit out of luck while these folks still roam our midsts

        unless we grow, in which case they get shunted into like 1% corner hole of the community somewhere that everybody points and laughs at.

        Though that requires growing first lmao.
