(Meta) What’s up with the recent influx of posts here and on nostupidquestions asking borderline insane questions as if written by people who have never encountered another human before?

They’re trying to sow the seeds of outrage. Do not take the bait.

I’ve noticed it too. I came here because Reddit has become increasingly toxic, with bots of outrage and division thriving there. I really hope Lemmy doesn’t follow the same path, but I suspect efforts will be made to make alternatives to controlled media even more toxic. I’m not sure what the best strategies are to counter this kind of malevolence.
