Point A: There is a lot of trolling on weekends here on Lemmy, it's pretty blatent. It usually starts on Friday and lasts through Sunday morning.

Point B back history: I posted something in Lemmy.world on fediverse pointing out some weird half deletes or a kind of shadow banning. The admin started trolling me and now I'm banned from there. I could use another alt, but I don't really want to be there anymore anyway, I left Reddit abuse for a reason. But it got me to thinking about what they're doing over there.

My partner was thinking about joining lemmy.world a week after I did, which was at the great escape from reddit time, and my partner said it seems like they're advertising to get more people. Now that I'm banned from there and most of the communities are on there, most people can't see what I comment on. It's a lot of control of what's being seen. We don't know who runs these instances, it could be anyone or any corporation.

Point B, the trolling: Occasionally I post on world by accident or just need to type something out, lol, and I came across this thread.

Comparisons, with no person blocks (hopefully world doesn't change these threads, screenshotted in case):

One is straight up reddit trolling, Russian style. The other has a bit of trolling, but nowhere near.

Conclusion: I know it seems like I'm picking on world, but it could happen to any instance. Also, I'm not seeing the trolling from shitjustworks either, is there a policy that extreme negatives are banned here? World is the one I've noticed it on, there could be more (or not). Just be aware and think about trying other instances occasionally.
