Every time I come back to a thread later - it’s gone. What gives? This is the only community on Lemmy or heck even on the internet in general where I’ve seen this, it’s so odd.

      A number of possibilities

      1. trolling and sealioning
      2. Bots or account farming
      3. People who are mentally unwell
      4. People who don’t know the difference between generating content and engagement, and spam
      5. Astroturfing and propaganda

      Etc

      Lemmy and the fediverse represent a way to get away from corporate controlled social media interest but is at the same time lacking in the resources to combat large scale operations for influence, propaganda and attacks

      Not sure about here but on reddit they are looking to create narratives. It is a classic shill OP tactic
