I wonder how many of those were Russian bots
I don't think Lemmy was really big enough to have THAT many bots. And at least of the ones I saw, if they were bots they're doing an incredibly good job of making them blend, since many had a history of generally normal commenting before that time, and have continued posting normally since.
That's very true. Bots once/twice removed? Like bots influencing the people posting here?
I can't imagine you get to that conclusion alone
Previously I thought almost all of them were, but then I found out that someone I've known for years hold that view. Any mention that maybe voting for the democrats would be a good idea results in an angry speech about genocide; which somehow (I'm not sure how) even has them lean towards Trump.
I appreciate the staunch opposition to genocide. But its kind of weird to see someone take a single issue so strongly to heart that their reasoning ends up inverted such that the candidate they favour is worse even on their one issue.
Yeah, that's totally fair. I mean, I guess it's just a bot once removed, bots influencing your friend to swing to fascism
That reminds me, I wonder what @Linkerbaan@lemmy.world is up to these days.
Paging @linkerbaan@lemmy.ml.
8000 comments in 9 months, dead silent shortly after the election. (World, .ml is more active now)
Jesus.
@irreticent@lemmy.zip
The Lemmy.World mods permabanned and removed my account after I made a detailled posed exposing them for being massive Zionists in one of my posts on yepowetrippingbastards which got removed by db0. (A powetripping bastard. Ironic).
I am a lot less active since the trifecta of libs (db0, .world and blahaj) instantly ban my accounts. As soon as this was created I made a post about the Lemmy.world mods going on a Zionist power trip and removing my account and db0's response was to ban this account as well and censor the whole ordeal.
