    With Lemmy being like half Russian bots, I think this won’t go amiss.

    #The Russian state and government interfered in the 2024 United States elections through disinformation and propaganda campaigns[1] aimed at damaging Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and other Democrats while boosting the candidacy of Donald Trump and other candidates who support isolationism and undercutting support for Ukraine aid and NATO.[2][3][4][5][6]

      I don’t think there’s many propaganda bots on lemmy since it’s not big enough and there’s corporations with much bigger and dumber audiences

        Oh yes, the old “I don’t think there’s Russians pn Lemmy”.

        Anyone who genuinely thinks that is either severely cognitively limited or a lying Russian. Usually it’s the latter.

        I could list a dozen off the top of my head. Start with davel@lemmy.ml. He insists he’s a red-blooded American who happens to not know anything about the US, who happens to know fluent Russian and who happens to favour political positions which are all in line with Russia.

        “Lemmy isn’t big enough for” genuinely only a true moron would think that, or you’re another disgusting lying Ruski. Russia is utterly shit at everything except spycraft and propaganda. I’ve met Vladimirs and Ivans on small national servers on Discord/Teamspeak etc. A guy who claimed he was Irish born and raised couldn’t speak English without an extremely strong Russian accent and didn’t know what a limerick is. Let alone what Limerick is.

        So, you’d believe a guy called Ivan Ivanovich being 100% born and raised American with no Russian connections, as long as he said it on something that isn’t Facebook? No, FB isn’t even popular now. Xitter? Reddit? YouTube?

        Because Russians would just never ever put propagandists to use less moderated services that they could spam their bullshit into without worry?

        #So… are you spreading Russian propaganda on purpose, or are you just too dumb to realise you’re doing it?

          Lol people only backpedal when they’re dead wrong. Except you didn’t backpedal on what you said you straight up deluded yourself into thinking I said Russia and not propaganda bots.

          You live in fear and my push back is too much for you

            Got a bit mad there… Vanja? Hahahah.

            A hit dog will holler if I ever saw one :DD

            What does the first comment I made say again? Does it talk about propaganda bots in general, or Russian disinfo?

            You’re absolutely shit at this.

            You live in fear

            In fear of what? The pathetic Russians who are dying by the thousands for the past years? I’m an army trained sergeant in the Finnish reserves. I currently have a somewhat boring life due to bureaucracy. I would very much like to be geared up and sit in position and snipe Vanja as much as my heart desires.

            What I live in is provocation. Provocation to anyone dumb enough to spread shitty Ruski propaganda, be it on accident or on purpose.

            So you think all prpapganda is pushed by bots? Or are you trying to pretend you think that?

            Here, have some of our propaganda, you coward.

                “I keep replying to comments I don’t read, that’s you how you know I’m right.”

                This is a forum. Are you gonna try replying without being able to address that you were in fact wrong to think “I deluded myself into thinking”.

                Like I said, you’re shit at this. Most of them at least keep up the pretense for a day or two before succumbing to the “wyaah I can’t read two paragraphs”. Although that might just mean you’re a subliterate American who’s bought into all the Russian disinfo due to being severely cognitively limited.

                So again, are you spreading propaganda on purpose or are you just too dumb to realise you’re doing it?

                What do I “live in fear of”? Not the Russian military. That’s an international JOKE.

                  Nice you’re one of those people that beg me to take things seriously. If you wanted a serious conversation you’d actually talk about Russian propaganda bots on lemmy, not Russians

                    Because bot accounts just configure themselves and when you’re using bots to push out shit, you can never control what they push or use the account to make a comment?

                    So Russians definitely have nothing to do with spreading Russian propaganda that the bots have decided for themselves they post?

                    See the kind of convoluted bullshit “arguments” you have to invent.

                    Russian disinfo is everywhere. It’s beyond ridiculous to say Russians and/or Russian bots aren’t on Lemmy. It’s so ridiculous, that one really starts suspecting anyone even implying it, because it either means you have a room temperature IQ or that you’re doing it on purpose.

                    Oh and I don’t really need to beg for anything when I can see that your just getting mad. Remember your blood pressure.
