What's up with this straight up pro-china and pro-russia stuff on Lemmy lately?

It's not even praising the people of China and Russia, but rather their gov directly.

Obviously the states have problems, and the EU to a lesser degree, but they at least have some human rights.

Is this some kind of organized disinformation campaign?

Your instance is probably one of the few who still federated with lemmygrad and hexbear as you described both these instances to a T. You can either block these instances or create an account with one of the numerous instances that have defederated from these absurd groups.

๐ŸŒ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ”ซ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿš€ Always has been. https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Lemmy#History

The EU is sometimes worse than China and some parts of the US are often worse than Russia. The US (both parties) and the EU have been aiding & abetting a genocide in Palestine.

Is this some kind of organized disinformation campaign?

Itโ€™s not organized and itโ€™s not disinformation. Those are coming from inside the house.

There has been but if western people can create their own echo chambers, why not others?

A daily reminder that westerners don't consider non-westerners human.

Well, if pro-US stuff is on youtube, reddit, facebook, twitter, discord, matrix, teams, bit-chute, odysee,
rumble, locals, whatsapp, signal, twitch, netflix,
while the US is falling apart and China is already the most powerful nation in the world and further rising quickly,
where would you expect to find pro-China and pro-Russia stuff?

Never seen any of this stuff. Not even once.

i havenโ€™t seen that myself but.. is it that bizarre? itโ€™s always been left on these spaces kinda by default so youโ€™re going to see some praise of China.
