You’ve probably noticed the increase in posts of upwards of 50 comments in the last few days. All the trolls are out on watch.

    Maybe it’s just a sign too that Lemmy is doing well. Dissent and trolling comes with that I guess.

      Problem is, there is gazillion of posts with barely any comments, few with several comments and few, all of them political, filled to the brim with dozens of bootlicker comments. That is textbook brigading, and this one is additionally glowing brightly.

          Yeah there isn’t, that’s one more signature of brigading, only selected threads are invaded. And in those threads you can notice it is literally few people making most of the posts, so, back to the post i was responding - i don’t think Lemmy is doing particularly good, if anything Lemmygrad seems more active (i can be wrong i’m not sure how the federating works, i do not even see any lemmy posts on lemmygrad, but i do see some people from lemmy).

        I would wonder if some of them are bots. I’ve also noticed recently that the iOS app seems to allow hitting submit a few times, resulting in the same post (sorry). Not the same issue but Im saying in terms of literally raw posts, my comments seem to hit twice sometimes xD

        As I understand it, Lemmy still has moderators at least.

        Yeah, we luckily we have more control over the user base. Purge if need be? But I haven’t noticed it being “a problem” yet.
