ffs, they’re not fake. They ain’t bots. They ain’t federal agents. They ain’t foreign agents.
Not every single fucking idiot out there is fake, not every bigot is fake, not every extremist is fake. I’ve said it over and over and over again. Think logically.
Why would shills bother with Lemmy when they’re already extreme? Why water a floodplain, you know? They’re already converted; they don’t need any more shilling. Why wouldn’t they pull all their resources to mainstream social media like twitter or reddit, which has everyones attention? No international news or big influencers exist on Lemmy. It is a loss of resources.
People are just extreme. Being paranoid and calling everyone you don’t like a shill or a bot ignores the fact that some people just have extreme views. They ain’t bots, they ain’t shills, they’re just bigots in safespaces and afraid of discussion. Pretending that extremists naturally don’t exist makes you as paranoid as they are. This community has been called psyops, and myself a foreign agent more times than I can count. You’re not a shill. I’m not a shill. Don’t stoop to their level, basically.
(I’m not saying they aren’t affected by shills. The propaganda they willingly consume originates from psyops on different websites, but they aren’t the prime target)
Honestly I may make a new rule where you can’t call them fake; it’s handwaving their bigotry and extremism. They are real people.

I stopped reading here because of the strawman and condescension.
Nor is it a strawman. I can link you to so many other users who say the same as you do, and how many times I try to explain to them that no, there’s no shilling on Lemmy.
You know for a person claiming to know they’re autistic, you’re really bad at understanding when your disability has destroyed your ability to understand others or complex social dynamics.
Yeah could be… and also the content might be an LLM and upvotes may be bots. The whole thing would be kind of entertaining if it wasn’t filling the de facto public square with hate and misinformation

Not being able to read isn’t much of a brag

this guy is clearly a right-wing asshole. I don’t know why so many people upvote his posts

You are deeply paranoid.
Tankies are bots. The users here are bots. I’m a bot.
No need to be rude
You’re calling everyone you meet a bot, dude.
How about you go harass someone else?
I’m just warning you to stop calling people bots.
no this guy is genuinely a real life stupid piece of shit I can tell because his content was this dumb before ChatGPT got big IIRC
Why do you think I’m a stupid piece of shit?
