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.

NK is some sort of paradise

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.

North Korea has been in a war since it was created.

They've had a cessation of hostilities since 1953.

The Panmunjom Declaration, signed in 2018 by Kim Jung Un and Moon Jae-in even began the process of reunification.

If only every war was this peaceful.

The DPRK later called off talks with South Korea scheduled for 16 May, blaming U.S.–South Korean military exercises…

From your source.

Do you think actual sponsored accounts/bots or just indoctrinated people?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.
