Lemmy has it's share of trolls, but we also have our share of russian propaganda trying to influence our election. This specific moderator of a very large Lemmy community (LateStageCapitalism) has been posting "democrats are actually the fascists!" memes, while banning/censoring everyone who speaks out in favor of the very people attempting to thwart the literal fascist regime in power right now.

Alright, this is just turning into a mud-slinging festival and I have other things to do today rather than babysit my mod reports. I'm shutting this down. Relax, you lot.

    Lemmy is a big propaganda outlet for Russia. I’ve been banned from hexbear and .ml for pointing out the obvious bullshit. They even upvoted me after I congratulated them on Trump’s second term.

    As always, the best solution is to create a new LateStageCapitalism community on another instance with a moderation policy that better matches your expectations (not to discourage PSAs like this, just like, as a next step).

    I second this. And im also banned from that community because I said some post was nonsense and explained the difference between socialism and capitalism and that's how that went.

    There are plenty of things to discuss under the topic of late stage capitalism. So just make a new community for it. I'll subscribe.

    In case anyone wanted an example.

    This is what these pieces of shit are doing. And to add, they remove everything they disagree with, despise it not violating their rules. It’s a psyop communist that needs to be banned.

    I’m all about free speech, but abusing the rules of the instance to silence others is not free speech. They’re just a hate group at this point.

    And then go “how come the Americans aren’t doing anything”

    Listen we’re trying not to get drone strikes

    Our government will drone strike us. They will blame Obama because he did it first, which was fucked up but that doesn’t mean it’s ok now. But have you seen the shitbags running this place? They just fire into cars with kids. Cars 4 Kids used to just funnel money to West Bank settlers, now Kars are definitely not for kids.

    Yeah I got a comment deleted from there which was about not letting Trump win and they were like “See Rules 3 and 4 liberalism is not allowed” or something to that effect

    Listen I’m sick of the feckless democrats as well; but if the only options are them or the fascists I’m not fucking voting for the fascists

    The next two elections, these mid-terms and the next presidential election, are probably the most important in our young nations history. We can absolutely still make a difference through voting, voter outreach, and community organizing. Any doomer posts designed to dissuade action and voting just screams of the same interference we've come to expect from russia and their allies.

    I won't turn a blind eye while my beloved Lemmy becomes inundated with power-abusing trolls trying to quash dissent to their lame efforts at manipulation.

    For now, being banned from that instance is a badge of honor and intelligence. Congrats!

    Gotta love their sidebar and their mods. No "Lessor" evil rhetoric... On a post specifically about voting for the lesser evil.

    Yeah, it's a fucking joke sub run by trolls and clowns. Real shame because late stage capitalism is definitely something we're up against and should call attention to on the regular.

    Boycott such communities.

    In what reality would someone think that deleting every top level comment that obviously disagrees with the post is a good look...on top of the post being "Let's not vote and let all the people who do vote decide who runs everything. That'll show 'em!"

    It's crazy that they are allowed alt accounts on. World and to run propaganda communities.

    https://reddit.com/r/suppressed_news/ is a great example of Russian propaganda. They claim they post "both sides" but ban you for pointing out that every post there supports Russia and denounces Ukraine.

    I was banned by GodlessCommie just the other day after I caught him admitting he isn't American.

    I mean... Is it a crime not to be an American (on lemmy)?

    Very strange though. I had a commenter there tell me they were going to bed but it was okay because they were studying abroad.

    I was like "anyone can read the news and form an opinion, I don't think your nationality or timezone invalidates it."

    I thought it was strange to even bring it up,

    Yeah I had two of these posts in a row pop up on my all feed, by the same user on the same instance. I said "putting in overtime a month before the election, I see."

    Not surprising. They took over the Reddit sub over ten years ago.
