    I’ve seen pro Russian trolls and pro China trolls, and yeah, generally that’s what I do. Engage and give them enough rope to hang themselves.

    However, that being said, accusing people of being bots or paid state actors violates the civility rules and will also be removed.

    If you think someone is disingenuous, report them. That gets them on the radar of both the mods and the admins.

      Calling someone what they are is not uncivil. It’s the way to draw them out.

      You can start with Linkerbaan

        Again, against the rules of the community. See the sidebar.

        Linkerbaan has been banned from Politics, World News, and News by three separate mods, including me.

              davel at Lemmy.ml

              Also, are reports public? Because they knew the report text, so if it’s not public then they are a mod.

                Reports aren’t public. So while I can see reports of the groups I mod, I can’t see others.

                Admins can see everything.
