What happened this time?
Neocon/trumpers/racists are coming on various federated lemmy systems. Once there they are posting rando crap and pushing people to ignore the basic requirements most lemmy system admins have setup. No hate, no bigotry, no racism.
The alt right runs a playbook that is built on the backbone of their enemies (anti-racists) are effectively addicted to reasonable discussion. They want to believe that everyone is a reasonable good faith actor who can be swayed by a pursuasive well structured argument. The alt right knows this and takes advantage. They do classic troll bait strategies hoping to exhaust their enemies and push them out of the discussion so that they can control the narrative and pipeline more people to the alt right. Their goal is not free speach, reasoned debates. Their goal is bad faith time wasting.
The playbook is known, and yet people keep getting drawn into these tactics
