I'd bet my life savings they're already funded by the CCP/Kremlin.
... Can I have your reasoning? Just because they are communists doesn't mean they are foreign agents, all it means is that they are authoritarians. Besides,idue to lemmy's federated nature the governments would be better off infiltrating or straight up buying larger social media companies
A lot of them aren't actually communists, that's a facade. I have no problem with most communists, it's a wonderful theory and I get along much better with them than actual capitalists. In fact, I suspect a lot of them aren't even people, they're LLMs.
Lemmy.ml is a mouthpiece for the CCP. They aggressively spread CCP talking points. I abandoned an old account because they followed me around and downvoted everything I posted. This was right after the reddit exodus so I was posting positive, funny memes to help Lemmy grow. They're very quick to delete and ban people who disrupt their echo chamber, and in my experience they almost never argue in good faith. A lot of them seem like bots, if you talk to them you'll get weird, non sequitur responses.
Lemmy is a easy target for propaganda, there's very little oversight.
not every idiot on the internet is funded by the ccp
Of course, but when someone is involved in leadership of a community that constantly spreads CCP propaganda and organizes to maliciously downvote people who push back against it, it's quacking like a duck.
