I’m genuinely confused on why it’s even happening in the first place but I can’t say conspiracies aren’t spinning in my head. Stuff like Russia having troll attacks to try and stifle a new Internet trend. Or companies like Facebook and Twitter paying people to do this to instill a boogeyman like fear of federated Internet.
I’m not suggesting they’re true, but they’re one of many confused thoughts as to what’s goin on.
There’s no need to invoke conspiracy. This is entirely possible for a single person to do, and motivations for single people may be very pity even if the consequences are widely visible.
One misguided teenager on a power trip who enjoys how much disruption he can cause is enough for such an effect.
yeah bitches be spending actual money to destroy a fifteen year old game with bots. it doesn’t need to have political motivation.
I’m like 80% sure this isn’t coming from the outside but from people on Lemmy from malicious instances

It is an old 4chan thing. Thye have it around and they know it freaks our the nories so why not have some fun with it? So any kinda shit head chud or skrpit kiddie can do it for a little hit of fun vandalism. Being kicked off reddit for being too comunist does make us a likelytsrger for all thst.
