From my time on Lemmy. There seems to be a lot of American propaganda on here from people.
I see a lot of Chinese propaganda as well
And Russian and North Korea for some reason
The amount of people here who will try to convince you that NK is some sort of paradise here is insane.
The bar for "paradise" is so low. Just living in a country where you don't have chronic homelessness, endless war, and rampant medical bankruptcy seems to qualify.
This is exactly the shit I was talking about.
Sometimes I don't know if it's propaganda or some inferiority complex because I've seen some propaganda from my country (MX) and if I try to go against it I get downvoted constantly (a lot less since I joined an instance that blocked ml, grad and hex) by people adamant into telling me how they lived here for a while, they have family here or how I am ignorant about that country, like... Bitch, everyone in my family has lived here for 3 generations at least, don't come here to tell me how things work when I have to deal with the consequences of a kakistocracy that keeps shitting on everything.
A lot of the fediverse users just have to be right when it comes to politics... And vaping, don't you dare have questions or doubts about vaping because they get mad.
yeah but there's tankies too, so it cancels out
Do you think actual sponsored accounts/bots or just indoctrinated people?
Both, but there was definitely blatant astroturfing after Biden withdrew and Kamala became the nominee.
I think we just have a surprising amount of political staffers in Lemmy. The bulk does seem to be wealthy people living in suburbs. Look at how the biggest groups are people self hosting thousands and thousands of dollars of equipment.
Surprising amount of political staffers... As if that is a class of people. Those people are normies and not tech savvy. They're all workaholics too so most of them probably only used LinkedIn for social media.
Your idea that people who self-host somehow equals political staffers is just asinine. There's literally no overlap.
i really doubt any major organizations are paying for bots, at least not on lemmy. we're just not big enough methinks
if there are any it's probably a smaller operation done by a few people max.
Meth inks?
the methamphetamine epidemic has hit the squid population hard
