Lemmy is absolutely inundated with bad faith actors who seem suspiciously intent on sewing as much division as possible, getting the left to be as politically ineffectual as possible, and never offering anything as a viable solution. There’s no meaningful barrier for entry so it’s pretty trivial to make a bunch of accounts and push an agenda.
That’s by no means limited to Lemmy, but Lemmy is absolutely littered with them. It’s been like this for quite a while.
another forum i am in casually mentioned lemmy as one of thier targets for spamming thier businesses, but its far less than they do on reddit though, which is still a large market for them.
