        Honesrly: tokenboomer likely is all those accounts as well.

        You will notice that anytime you respond to boomer with disagreement, multiple accounts will begin flooding you, and they all brave in and out of the conversations as if they are the ones who said things said by others.

        You wouldn’t expect a paid professional to be so sloppy, but on the other hand, if he was good at his job, he wouldn’t be working for Hamas.

      I think Lemmy is so tiny that those named below truly are just utter idiots doing that work for free.

        I don’t rule it out. The prior era of “reddit alternatives” in the Voat era was quickly overrun too even though they were very small. The key to the internet has always been first mover advantage. If they have enough power to manipulate the top sites, it would take very little to hedge bets on budding platforms. They risk losing their advantage if a replacement platform establishes itself without them. That’s pretty much the whole history of modern tech. To actively seek and snuff out your competitors.
