    I was suspecting this guy might be a fed just because of their actions, but this crashout has proven me wrong, he was doing it for free.

      This person is most likely mentally ill. I tried to point out a bunch of weird shit that the dubvee instance was doing two or three years ago. I was mostly ignored and made to feel like I was crazy. So I just dropped it and tried to block and ignore anything from Dubvee on my own clients. So it’s quite vindicating to see this asshole get totally blown up for days now all over the fediverse. But also kind of tiring, like we’re reverting back to bean memes just to get a break from this drama.

        Pinpointing and neutralizing potential leftist organizing. You don’t have to be big or doing meaningful organizing/actions for some guy to justify their paycheck, it’s been that way for in-person organizing since the 60s at least, and online since the early 2000s.

        Despite being tiny, we literally have multiple accounts which exclusively repost pro-state-department news stories.
