Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

This account has been active for forty-one days now and had made three thousand and sixty-nine (nice) submissions to Lemmy.

That’s roughly once every nineteen minutes.

Makes you wonder...who is actually behind the keyboard? There's not enough hours in the day for me to even begin to counter this poster as much as it posts. Thanks for keeping it honest, Fart. XD

They tell us, it’s a transracial mormon satanist socialist who is anti-woke.

You know, like a real fucking person.

I especially enjoy that their profile was this carefully curated persona of a white european viking looking motherfucker until one day when it immediately shifted to a very black persona. Nothing weird about that at all.

[–] jhymesba@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Oh, you can change your presentation, here, on the Internet, where the Men are Men, the Women are Men, the Children are FBI Agents, of course Socialist Berserker isn't part of the conclusively proven Russian and Republican mission to siphon away votes from Harris so Trump can steal it, and nobody, and I mean nobody knows I'm a cat? SHOCKED, I tell ya! SHOCKED! 🤣

Looked into it myself and they are the single most obvious paid op i have ever seen in my life

[–] TheFonz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's insane. How do people have this much time on their hands???

[–] jhymesba@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm not going to speak on THIS poster, but...

What is this? A bank of phones caught click-farming in Thailand not too long ago. It's very similar to Chinese and Russian bot farms -- a handful of operators who are connected to a metric fuckton of phones, each signed into a fake account with tools to help these bad actors 'get in character'.

You can usually tell troll farm accounts by their prolific post history. I have a job so I can't stick around and talk politics all day, but these guys do, so they can literally post once every 18 minutes for over a month, day and night, without any interruptions. You might ask "don't you have a job that you should be doing?!" when confronted with constant posting, day and night, but the answer is they DO have a job and that's to push the memes and BS that they are pushing. Another way you can tell? Two replies to the same message -- caused by the troll farm employees stepping on each other's feet, and not properly handing off identitites to each other. Rule 3 says I can't accuse Socialist Berserker of being one of these troll accounts, but Rule 3 doesn't prevent me from correctly pointing out that this sort of operation exists, and how you can tell if an individual is a member of this operation. So...make your own minds up.

I have seen them reply to the same comment three times, each time seemingly unaware of the others. Interesting you point this out.

[–] jhymesba@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Call that out! Report it. If they make it easy for us to see, we should sure call them out on it.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Judging from past experience, mods give zero shits and need you to "prove" they are a troll. Which I wouldn't imagine that proves. Have you had a different experience?

[–] jhymesba@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

True, you might be right, but at least calling it out calls people like Jordon Lund to attention. I noticed after he caught flak from me, he started more directly challenging people like this poster. Maybe pointing out to him how this Socialist Berserker said similar but different things to one comment within minutes or even seconds of each other might just be the ammo they need to actually call a spade a spade. That said, if they don't, we have the receipts and we can point to them over and over again every time posters like this one spew this kind of malarkey. :)

Here's the receipts:

I'm not sure. Should I report my own post to get it in front of the moderator's eyes, or just keep these posts whenever we start talking about this poster.

Thanks for digging those up.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I will DM these images to him.
