Fair. Have you seen an example of this?

In my limited imagination, bots that flood a topic has a tendency to do that. The the "ask reddit" bots I see in "All".

    Yes, browse https://lemmy.ml/c/memes.

    The entire community is run by Russian trolls who take the following approach:

    • Engage with anybody even remotely critical of the extremely pro-Russian posts, under the guise of being "modern-day communists"
    • Parrot and inflate anything that resembles far-right movements in Ukraine
    • Repeat all the Russian propaganda, such as describing the Ukrainian government as fascist
    • Misconstrue comments and incorrectly extract quotes
    • As mods, selectively delete comments to create a one-sided, pro-Russian narrative
    • Gang up with all their troll accounts onto a comment they deleted, chiming in with "wow, fascist" to make the casual observer believe that message must have been awful and they are the good guys
