For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.

I'm starting to suspect that when the lib slop is extra sloppy on bluesky, it's actually reactionaries posing as libs to act extra embarrassing and stereotypical to erode their reputation in the collective online consciousness and draw the association that their liberal stereotypes are accurate.
That or I'm just perpetually on edge after the whole oppa homeless style psyop.
That is absolutely a thing, influence agencies pose as part of a group to manipulate people, to make the whole group look bad, as agent provocateurs to justify actions against that group, and whatever else.
Anybody involved in the non-establishment choice for Democratic nominations should be well aware all social media is overrun with fake people pushing an agenda.
I am 100% sure many of the conservative aligned ones did so pushing Harris at her anointation because they knew they could beat her. The Establishment has their own obviously.
I admit I have thoughts about the string of posters on .ml posting incredibly incendiary Stalin did nothing wrong type memes at liberals. If I was someone trying to get people who are starting to turn onto socialism turned off and to turn them away I'd hit them with exactly that kind of tone-deaf shit. If I was someone trying to get lemmy ml defederated from and isolated from the rest of the federiverse. Again I'd post tons of exactly that shit.
If I were a communist trying to actually educate and knowing anything about my audience I wouldn't post incendiary memes like those these accounts are posting which I doubt convince anyone not already convinced and do a lot of work turning people off. Know where your audience is and post things that push the envelope a little but don't immediately trigger reflexive denial or dismissal.
It annoys me they're allowed to operate unimpeded and I honestly wouldn't be shocked in the piefed devs or someone from MWoG anti-ML community or the world devs or someone in those circles was behind those accounts for obvious reasons.
It's certainly possible
It could also be a lib with a lot more reactionary tendencies than most, since the dems are basically campaigning on being the "good fascist" to the Republican's "bad fascist" there's not really a lot of ideological difference between the two, except which sports team they support gets to do the horrible things to people.
