Has anyone else noticed this, across the fediverse, Lemmy specifically. A lot of new users, but also a lot of first posts that are very inflammatory/rage baity.
Do we have another legit influx of new users? Or do we just have some bad actors trying to stir the pot? Or maybe I’m imagining it.
Bots originating in russa, china, etc, etc spreading social unrest
Those countries want to divide us and it’s working
That’s true in most places, but until now it’s been relatively quiet I’m here on the fediverse
What has ended up happening in the replies to this comment is exactly what OP was talking about.
We have a saying “People who think too highly of themselves and can’t fix their problems will always make up a bogeyman to blame”
Did the tankies lead you to support the genocide? Did the tankies keep you from keeping Israel/US accountable for their crimes?
No buddy, your “countries” did those all on their own and were proud of it. The countries are only changing their tone as the hypocrisy is failing to keep up with the lies.
But you do you. You’re such good guys and have never done bad to anyone else and also “never” fought among yourselves.
If it takes some Chinese and Russian trolls to divide you, you’re never really “together” bud. But again whatever makes you sleep at night.
hehe

That’s a lame and cheap attack and also ridiculous.
Try replying to these so-called “Russian and Chinese bot accounts” and see what happens
You won’t get evasive and broken English, rather a long and thorough breakdown grounded in theory and history

Aaaaand… we’re off!
Lol
I can’t wait for this one. Pray tell what genocide?
What makes a country communist in your view? Only countries that never build any sort of government and never do any sort of production?
I would love a link that you have to someone making this argument
Lol no. Glorifying Nazis like Stepan Bandera is Naziism. Doing ethnic cleansing in Eastern Ukraine is Naziism.
Obviously, it takes time to absorb the lame “tankies bad” circlejerk from

You’re certainly making a point here, I wonder if it’s the one you intended.
You are right I don’t speak Ukrainian, do you? I’d love to discuss the 7 years between 2015 and 2022 with a local.

So people are just pretending that astroturfing by foreign nations isn’t real now? Cool.
I don’t really have an opinion about whether “astroturfing by foreign nations” is widespread on the internet overall. I will note that we have to take the word of intelligence agencies and big tech companies as the only evidence in the public record that it’s happening.
What I am saying is that here on the fediverse, the people who throw around that accusation are childish and ill-informed every time.
Basically, these people are saying that they can’t even imagine the possibility of people believing differently than the national media narrative of their home country, which is a pretty embarrassing self-own if you ask me.
