There's a group of conflict bots that show up every day, around the same time.

Then throw in a mix of astroturfers from certain countries trying to steer conversations away from one direction and into another direction.

Finally mix in comments from one of the extreme edges of the political spectrum, that repost the same kind of posts that support their extreme views almost daily.

Lemmy admins have some work to do.

Tell me about it.

They are probably created by Reddit to make everyone lose interest in Lemmy /s

That's why huge instances are bad, they can't moderate all those users (I am on a bigger instance myself tho don't judge me).

We can expect this with any system that grows in size, becomes popular right? I don’t know the science behind it, but communities over a certain size naturally create subcommunities or attract partisans, antagonists, anarchists with a tendency to troll for fun. It’s the way of things.

Communities need an auto mod to limit age of accounts.

Why yes, we even had a balrog...
