Are they an adherant if they’re paid? What about if it’s an LLM?

The people going around loudly policing other people’s language do more harm to leftist causes than good.

I came into this thread just to downvote their lies.

Maybe I’ll switch to Mastadon. I find myself going back to Reddit as often as using Lemmy these days, so maybe it’s time.

I suspect everyone switching won’t solve the problem. Seems unavoidable that open-access, anonymous social media will be a target for propaganda any time it becomes popular. If everyone leaves for Mastadon, the shills and their LLMs will move over there.

The communism is a facade for their propaganda, and it also bolsters extremist discourse. Win-win for them.

Thanks for your efforts fighting disinformation. Seriously.

No doubt many have tried the fediverse and walked away because of Lemmy.ml/hexbear.

I don’t even admit that I use it as is because of the propaganda. I’m still hopeful for the future but my enthusiasm is dying.

Well said, I completely agree.

Lemmy.ml communism is mostly just a facade for spreading propaganda to useful idiots. If they were real communists I’d have some respect for them.

Lemmy.ml spreads a lot of propaganda/disinformation, has opaque and questionable moderation, and regularly advocates for violence.

More irresponsible than Nissan Altima or Dodge Ram owners isn’t easy

Thanks, obviously people enjoyed it.

dumbass paid Russian apologists propagandists

Did you get your education… inside Putin’s butthole

Exactly what I was thinking.

Yeah, people warned me before I joined and I dismissed it, after a year here I realize how bad it is.

There there, it’ll be alright… have some jeans

That’s great! I really hope the fediverse can replace corporate slop social media, and I think people coming here and not getting turned off by those bad instances is key.

Rawdogging Lemmy without blocking hexbear and the .ml instances… good luck!

I use tags often, but I don’t block, I use it to track accounts spreading disinformation.
