This is more than mildlyinfuriating. Also, this new account has posted ten times in its first hour. Mostly politics.
Given what we’ve seen in the last few weeks about the scale of paid actors using social media to increase tensions and divisions, I’m getting very sick of this kinda behaviour.
I fucking hate CK and the way the American right is using this story to push their agenda. But that doesn’t mean I want to see bots trying using that to reaction to push our buttons.

I’m definitely not a bot.
Would a bot do this?

You are not needed to do this. Lemmy is absolutely fine without news-article spam.
You do not need to flood the feed full of posts.
Moreover, since you self-delete - almost all of your content gets purged.

Glad that you’re a human! The worst part about the rise in bot posts is that it creates an atmosphere of distrust. The fact that you’ve commented, and hopefully don’t delete your account in a few hours, is very reassuring.
I still think someone going to jail for posting a meme is beyond mildlyinfuriating. But that’s a matter of opinion.

This post will be deleted in a few hours when this account self-deletes and the lemmy admins purge it.
