Wtf. Why didn't you mention the cringe lord emperor striker?!
Edit: using my mod powers to get attention.
Leaching on to mod powers to grab attention, for what purpose, I do not know.
The elon musk mindset. Lmao
Me as an instance admin sitting here reading about how Lemmy doesn't have trolls and Russian bots, while I'm in a chat with other instance admins and mods where we need to actively coordinate to fight the trolls and Russian bots 😐
Thank you for your service! (sounds sarcastic, is not)
Yeah... OP is blind to the massive Kremlin and CCP propaganda problem here in the Fediverse.
After hexbear got defederated from most of the major instances, the fucking losers just make alts on different instances so they can continue defending that propaganda filled shithole. Now .ml seems like the new worst, no matter what you do these no-life losers will find a way to spread their bullshit.
Takes much more effort to try and stop them than it does for these losers to make alts unfortunately.
Welcome to IT. If everything is on fire, they ask why you’re even here, and if everything is ready for the fire and there’s nothing left to do, they also ask why you’re even here
Well except for the entire population of Hexbear and the 'Grad...
I'm fairly sure they aren't bots, but definitely pro Russia.
bots, sockpuppets, infowarfare it's all different vlads in the same bag
Last I checked hexbear had something like 70% more total comments than lemmy.world despite only having a tiny fraction of the users. Sounds like bots to me
And large parts of .ml, which is the bridge for hexbear to all the instances which defederated with them.
It really does feel like hexbear users are probably high fiving each other over their cubicle walls in Vladivostok. The admin openly states their goal is information warfare.
I'm convinced those people have to be elaborate trolls. Like the flat earthers.
nah - they are very real. Maybe sock puppets but real. I imagine them like rich 15 year old kids beeing “rad and cool”
Idk ozma was pushing a super hard the left should protest vote or not vote before getting called out in every thread. They have been slowly evolving the shill to be less and less obvious. Even started posting memes and other content to try and get the political agenda across without posting negative articles. Now the message isnt the very obvous up front don't vote, but they are just "critical of Biden," yet have nothing to say about anyone else. Doesn't seem like an edgy kid to me.
Just need to swap SatansMaggotyCumFart with Jimmydoreisalefty.
@SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world is simply irreverent; not a troll.
I need to figure out what irreverent means so I know if I should be insulted.
Even without any karma system, interacting with the users here is a breath of fresh air. Lemmy has the least shills and bots compared to the poison in most other platforms. It's currently Lemmy's best asset and where it stands out from all existing social media imo, and I hope it remains this way.
Have we forgotten that we also have Margot Robbie?
I think that she prefers "Academy Award-nominated character actor, and producer Margot Robbie".
Star of the Barbie movie, now available on Blu Ray at your local retailers!
I’d estimate blocking ozma has reduced the amount of “Trump and the GOP may be attempting to install a fascist dictatorship but Biden’s old” nonsense in my feed by 95%.
I've blocked both of them, as well as the politicalmemes community and my Lemmy experience has gotten so much better.
The tragic thing, though, is that if lemmy ever "takes off", there's nothing about it that will make it any more resistant to bots and trolls.
It's kinda like back when Macs had no viruses, because nobody bothered.
You forgot that lemmy.ml, lemmygrad, & hexbear exist.
Hexbear is... I'm just old I guess, I don't understand. My instance is not defederated from them. Whenever I'm reading a post that originates from hexbear, I can always tell. Like it will just hit me and I will look at the source and yep, it's hexbear.
But I don't exactly understand why. I can't see that they have any particular worldview, they just have a unique (and contrarian) way of expressing... all worldviews, seemingly. It feels like an inside joke that I don't have enough information about to understand.
Doesn't seem like bots, Russian or otherwise. Too vague. Not enough of a directed agenda. Is it just trolls? They seem to earnest to be trolls.
Hard disagree. I'm already spending less time here because the Kremlin and CCP propaganda ruins the experience for me. I don't even consider recommending it to people I know for the same reason.
i haven't gotten into a single fight with a mod in nine months! it's wild
SMCF is one of the comfort usernames that I've seen around ever since joining Lemmy
I see a lot by "the Picard maneuver" or something like that. I can't remember if I like their posts, but there's a lot.
Tpm is basically porting all old memes from the previous site over. He probably posts 30 a day or smt
