Bots are a big problem on Lemmy too.

They sent their troops to dig radioactive trenches in Chernobyl, they don’t really care about them.

I think they already did. There were rumors she would support Biden and I thought “will she get Kremlin shills attacking her on social media?” Over the next few weeks there was a bunch of noise about her private jet.

First day on Lemmy?

So tired of these broad, extremist generalizations on Lemmy. This is the mind of nonsense conservatives point to as “evidence liberals are stupid.”

Powerful American people/groups spreading disinformation or funding political extremism is very different from the government doing it.

They want innocent people to die, it’s how they get people on their side. They need it for propaganda.

Social media disinformation campaigns from the Kremlin and possibly also the CCP.

Lucky

People should be welcome and free to discuss just about anything, authoritarian governments and their propagandists should be kicked the fuck out.

1. Hold my hand and we’ll go visit their house and ask them

2. Creating something doesn’t give them the right to spread lies, and they probably funded it specifically in order to spread propaganda

3. This post isn’t a systemic campaign of disinformation… a single person saying we should do something isn’t propaganda. I’m talking about government-driven efforts to change thought and opinions. In this case, from a government with a long history of murdering and oppressing people.

Liberals didn’t preside over colonialism, that’s ridiculous.

I don’t think Marxists are brainwashed at all. Can’t you contribute without putting words in my mouth?

People are streaming into relatively liberal countries by the millions because of opportunities and freedom.

Yes let’s all just pretend their propaganda is actual opinions held by real people.

They learn from who they are worshipping pays them and might disappear them if they say the wrong thing.

You probably got hit by a bunch of lemmy.ml brigade downvotes then real users showed up and upvoted you.

I have Lemmy.ml blocked and I still see them in other communities all the time. Defederation is the best solution for dealing with an instance that’s designed to spread propaganda.

And no this isn’t a dead horse, there’s are other discussions ongoing about defederating Lemmy.ml

Why are people with this worldview so common here?

Plenty of them aren’t “people,” they’re simply anonymous accounts used to spread and promote propaganda. Some content generated by people, some from LLMs.

They’re common here because they can run their disinformation campaigns without a corporation interfering. Tik Tok isn’t the CCP’s only attempt to influence people through social media.

Bingo
