It's almost as if the trolls from hexbear got lonely after being federated so heavily so they made new accounts on .ml. (Like how CTH turned into hexbear)
Instance blocking and user blocking isn't a good long term solution as these types migrate often as to affect progressive communities who have already defederated.
The writing is on the wall, this space was created to give these types a platform.
I don't think there really can be a long term solution for this sort of thing. I think we just have to block and such as they pop up, defederate if a threshold is crossed. I dunno.
These types are likely Russian and Chinese trolls, and a few useful idiots. This is all too similar to the Gamer Gate playbook.
Just out of curiosity, could someone link an example of one of these posts? I don't see them myself much but I think I may have just blocked the communities where it happens.
