Because most of the “leftists” flooding this platform are from troll farms. Russia and China are pushing hard on their troll farms to try to get Trump back by any means necessary. He makes America less stable and weaker.
They're not. It would be less strange if they were. But troll farms have nothing to gain by circlejerking on obscure forums
Not nothing, and Lemmy is larger than most forums. But yeah, I think that what we see on here is almost entirely useful idiots buying into the talking points of such propaganda and troll farms, and then willingly spreading it of their own accord, rather than being actual paid actors themselves.
I get way more "I'm 14 and very knowledgeable and badass" vibes here than the previous place.
It feels fairly similar to 4chan’s transitional period, /r/conspiracy’s transitional period, and twitter’s transitional period. They’re absolutely being fed half-digested talking points from somewhere. It’s way too contrived not to notice. Which is to say, I agree entirely.
consider doing some blocking of users/instances.
But then I'd miss watching them lose their shit and get banned from their own instance.
It's so much easier to establish a troll farm on Lemmy than on Reddit (which is flooded regardless), so it makes a great playground for psyop operations
Yeah lemmy is really important enough for nation states to brigade 😂
