I will give your suggestion 100% of the careful attention and obedience that it deserves.

OP deserves someone participating in the conversation who can honestly answer the question they've asked. Your speculation only adds to the ignorance others already have. You are enforcing an echo chamber and being disrespectful.

I mean your comment isn't 100% off base. I was just being a little prickly about it for reasons that will become clear below -- so the reason I chimed in is:

  1. Me saying my piece on it in no way makes it difficult for others who want to answer the question to give the answers OP deserves.
  2. Some of the people who are going to answer this question who fall into category #2 are going to lie, by definition, and I think it's relevant to point that out and be able to talk about it (that that factor is relevant to the discussion). If everyone was coming into this discussion and telling the truth, then yes it would be inappropriate for someone else to come in and say what those other people's answers were probably going to be.

A long debate about whether or not there are political astroturf accounts on Lemmy is probably off topic here, so I made a thread which might be a little more suited to it.

I'll be appropriating this phrase. This requires no further action on your part. Thank your for your cooperation.
