Speaking as a Lemmygrad guy. He’s a Lemmygrad power poster. I honestly don’t know how the guy does it. Not only does he have the articles, he’s got the sources to back up his claims in the comments. It’s truly admirable. I’d love to meet him sometime.
While most Socialists let Reactionaries shame them into silence, Yogthos posts the truth despite negative criticism.
they spam several top communities with Russian and Chinese propaganda - often from dubious sources - and instigate hostile, combative arguments in the comments. when others point out that it’s just propaganda, they respond with more hostility and more propaganda. a quick look through their post history shows a clear pattern of toxic abuse towards anyone who disagrees with them.
Yes lemmy is full of evil tankies seeseepee bots and their evil propaganda. You should never read any, it’s forbidden. Please go back to 100 wholesome keanu reddit.
He’s actually a nice enough guy, but he has a rose-colored glasses when it comes to China and the CPC. As someone who worked at China Daily, I assumed he works for state media! He said he doesn’t but he hoped to go to China someday.
Given how often he posts, I’m a little concerned about his mental health, but maybe this is what keeps him sane. Better than shooting people in a mall, that’s for sure!
I’d actually like to meet the guy and have a cup of coffee
not if their comment history is anything to go by— insulting, hostile, and combative comments, many of which are heavily-downvoted (except on lemmgrad.ml, which is an echo-chamber for tankies).
I don’t think many people engage with him in a way that doesn’t force him to be defensive. He’s like a dog that’s never been petted properly, only receives shouts and whacks on the head. I engaged with him earnestly and he was suspicious. Eventually I got him to let his guard down a little and he interacted amicably.
Again, I do worry about his mental health. Then again, I worry about mine
Yeah, I can be an asshole online sometimes but he can reach another level. I guess you just gotta laugh at the situation: a guy passionately simping for a foreign government of a country he’s never visited. 😂
Following up… I think the guy is so disillusioned and angry at his own country (rightfully so, IMO) that he romanticizes China as the only viable alternative.
Any hole in that balloon threatens his sanity. I honestly feel bad for the guy. He’s probably not well… I wonder what he’s like IRL
I like how you guys think that him posting a lot of informative links is a sign of mental illness.
But stalking his account, trying to “get his guard down”, and fantasizing about him in a nasty, passive aggressive, parasocial way, that’s all normal and good for you.
Are you sure you’re not a little addicted to propaganda yourselves? Why are you attacking him like he is your mom trying to take away your bong?
what a weird response. I’m doing post necromancy?? who cares. 💀 Someone linked me to this. I “came out of nowhere”, like everyone does on the internet.
your psychobabble is corrosive to the fediverse and is repugnant to me & anyone who cares about freedom of information.
yogthos & SeventyTwoTrillion & other power-posters are like “seeders” on a torrent, whereas you are a “leecher” on a torrent. people like them are the lifeblood of niche platforms like lemmy. they are self-curating content aggregation machines. instead of trying to muzzle people you disagree with because engaging with them went south, disengage and post something contrary. you are trying to bring friction and conflict to lemmy.
you may as well be paid by Zuckerberg or Google to be here to destroy an open source project.
interesting rationalization for your toxic, rage-bait ramblings. I recommend you consult a medical professional, as they would be better-equipped to help you with your… problems…
toxic? rage bait? unless you’re continuing with your schizoid delusion that everyone who happens to like Yogthos’s posts is a paid government shill or the man himself, you must mean the above replies? 😂
everything I’ve sent to you is nothing of the sort. i guess you’re such a thin-skinned individual that being corrected on your snickering goblin mode behavior is just too much without breaking a sweat. being wrong is good. it’s a chance to learn. the sad thing is illiteracy, darkness, censorship.
you should go on Weibo and see the “censorship” taking place - in 2021 a blogger got a case brought against multinational company Lenovo by the government just by posting about it. the western social media China is blocking is what we’re using Lemmy to get away from, you dunce. those are the toxic rage bait platforms full of hatred! they were right to block western social media like Twitter after en.wikipedia.org/wiki/July_2009_Ürümqi_riots was organized on there. fundamentalists who hated the indigenous turkic chinese muslims beat over a hundred people to death!
is that the kind of thing that should be protected by any free speech law in the world? nobody thinks that lmao. besides they can use a vpn easily
your flippant statements about chinese censorship are hypocritical on a platform which is a refuge from the west’s digital hegemony of lies, censorship & hatred. they ban venezuelans, haitians, nigeriens en masse without reason. you’d be welcome on weibo if you could keep your own toxicity down & learn a damn language haha
what you’re participating in rn, this conversation with me, this is the magic right here baby. we could engage in a dialectic with milliseconds delay. what you call toxicity and want to shut down is the magic of free speech you claim to defend ☝️🤓
uh oh looks like the trekkie redditor is tongue tied. is this how you engaged with yogthos? i guess he was able to run circles around you, and you called him mentally ill & said “mucho texto”. you’re basically a paid troll following a flow chart for disruption
what exactly about what i wrote is angry or hateful??? are you okay??? 😂
take a deep breath. count to ten. it’s okay, if you don’t have a constructive reply, walk away from the computer for a bit. there’s no time limit. i happen to have a job where i’m on my phone a lot & text my boss about all the catering stuff. i have an unfair advantage over you.
ask yourself why you are here in this thread doing the two minutes hate about a guy who posts about the development of mid & low-income countries outside NATO. what’s wrong in your life? i’m correcting your nasty antisocial behavior right now 🙅♂️
lmao just because you don’t care about the lemmy platform and want to pursue your selfish grudge at its expense doesn’t mean my arguments are in bad faith.
you need to reassure yourself that if you really tried to respond to me, you’d say something intelligent, but you’re too dainty to lower yourself to it. 😅 are you even fooling yourself with this?
your creative writing gets an F from me. I do admire the candid nature of responding to being accused of bad faith behavior with “you beat your wife hehehe”. 🤨 very mature dude
uh oh, your hands are shaking with rage & spittle is getting all over your phone. i’d better block you for your own mental health. enjoy your heart attack at 30

wow, you saw an autocomplete typo and went right of the rails. if this is what you fantasize about, I’m clearly not that one with precarious mental health, lol.
edit: I fixed the typo since it triggered you so badly. hope you feel better soon!
mass shootings are a decidedly right wing phenomenon. this goes back to columbine. dummy
if you think you can just make hostile replies to someone who posts things you dislike and call them mentally ill for repaying you in kind, what would that say about your own behavior 😂
i guess you miss reddit already huh? want to post about how tencent is censoring the tiananmen square massacre posts?
it has been my observation that those who cry the most about “freedom of speech”, especially in moderated communities like this one, are usually met interested in their “freedom of speech” amounts to wanting to engage in harassment, bullying, violence, and hate-speech without consequences, and, all to often, kiddie porn. All one has to do it take a look at “free speech” lemmy instances to see what I mean— it’s full of the things I just described, sometimes worse.
now, I’m not accusing you of these things, but reasonable limits on speech protect the community from this stuff, and I can’t imagine a reasonable argument against such reasonable limits— and you’re here defending a well-known troll and bully, not for example, someone forbidden from practicing their religion or a same-sex couple trying to get married. This makes it very difficult to take your argument at face value rathe than simply an objection that a hateful bully and troll might face consequences for their actions.
From what I’ve gathered from others who’ve been bothered by them, they are a ‘tankie’ who fantasises about communism and thinks China is still a communist state. That they do so while living in a western democracy using all the tools of freedom of expression is an irony that’s lost on them
My most upvoted comment on Lemmy so far is calling him one lol. I think it’s just that it feels like an anti-West “propaganda” account more so than an actual person and normally do not actually provide thoughtful unbiased looks into things without using whataboutism.
they also twist themselves into knots defending Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine. Any attempt to engage in discussion with them is met with literally every logical fallacy in the book, along with insults, bullying, and dogpiling from other tankies that seemingly (and suspiciously) appear out of nowhere.
I wouldn’t even call them communist, they just post pro-China propaganda. They’re furthering the agenda of a specific government, not an economic ideal.
I just blocked them soon after joining so I don’t have to see the braindead posts/comments they keep submitting.
