• Two prominent queer FAF users have been the target of bots creating accounts on other instances using their username and spewing bigotry as well as targetting them directly. Shit like this. TanteRegenbogen’s indirect defense of them is saying that these targeted attacks on queer people are not real, that they are making them up, in order to create a divide between db0 and lemmy.world. Which is a ridiculous claim, completely non-sensical. It’s neither necessary nor effective to make up some random alts spewing anti-queer bigotry to make LW seem like a zionist instance. The more likely scenario is that it’s some 4chan or r/drama trolls (there recently was a 4chan lemmy instance spun up, filled exclusively with anti-trans bigotry). That they are trying to drive drama. Of course L.W and piefed are not helping this by actually going on the offensive whenever they feel slighted instead of deescalating and that’s what they get blamed for.
