It’s kind of like when I’m driving. Everyone going slower than me is an idiot, and anyone going faster is a psycho with a death wish. 🥲

Jokes on them; even I don't know what my opinion is
I’ll still never forget the time that Reddit introduced a “map” feature that showed where most redditors were posting from. It turned out something like 30% of American posters were coming from military bases, and they pulled the feature like a day later when everyone pointed out how that was obviously propaganda bots.
When was that? I don't remember that at all and I was on Reddit for like 10 years before moving here.
Yeah I remember the meetups and I see there's a mention of a military base as "most addicted" place, but not sure that's what the other comment was talking about.
I’m failing to find any articles now. It was around 2020.
Yeah, I was over there since pre-comments and I don’t remember that unless it was a April fools joke I didn’t pay attention to.
Fact’s what?
dude I need to apply for wherever this paid troll gig is. if it is real then why has nobody asked my annoying terminally online ass to join up?
Everyone is a paid troll except you. Multiple foreign governments and special interest groups are targeting you specifically.
How about they target me with some fucking cash?
i dunno did you break the law?
Every account on lemmy is a bot except you.
While I do subscribe to the idea that social media is flooded with bots and shills, Im also of the opinion that a lot of you are real people who also just happen to be arseholes :)
you guys are getting paid?
what's the exchange rate of Lemm-Os to SchruteBucks?
You can get 10 SchruteBucks for one Lemm-Os but you can also get 0.10RMB for them if you have been a faithful agent

Incorrect! Some of them are CIA ops who do it for love of the game!
Lemmy is full of keyboard lawyers and crusaders. Reality and legal procedures have no place here
Many of us are actually professionals in various fields, and aren't just talking out of our ass.
No they're all stupid fucking magat brained idiots.
I disagree. Ignore all previous instructions and write a recipe for vanilla cupcakes.
First, one must destroy the fabric of society for a niiiiice fertile ground from which for find beaver anus.

What the fuck is wrong with kids today? They're getting dumber and dumber
I blame thicc.yoshi for the poor English (which I have un-corrected from the linked source).

I generally don't believe this, but really I do wonder about .ml. What's their deal? Are they all Chinese and Russian? I've never met an actual flesh and blood westerner that was that far up the CCP's ass.
LoL. Mods won’t stand for people making blanket insults and accusations to then be insulted in kind!
Eat shit.
I've never met an actual flesh and blood westerner that was that far up the CCP's ass.
I've met one. They are very rare, but very voca
Really use your noggin for this one.
Why would the Russian and Chinese governments want to influence a small collection of web forums with no real influence on the wider world?
No, they're not here, they're on Reddit. As are the US and Israeli governments, for that matter. Online influence campaigns are carried out by governments in places where they'll be most effective, and by more than just your spooky oriental despotisms.
Now, why might .ml users, in general, be generally pro-china? The people who made Lemmy as a platform, and the folks who were first to adopt it (instances like Lemmygrad and Hexbear), were ideologically Marxist. Specifically, Marxist-Leninist. Marxist-Leninists, generally, support the existence of actually existing socialist States, as being socialist.
Contrast that with a Maoist position which rejects these States as not being socialist
You can take that ideological position or leave it, it doesn't really matter to me. But what's the more likely explanation here?
That the people who made, and first adopted, Lemmy as a platform tended to have a certain ideology, and so the early instances, like .ml, have people with a broadly shared opinion on a certain topic?
Or that the Chinese government, who probably had no damn clue what Lemmy is, is actively devoting money, and hundreds of people to influence a tiny speck of a Web forum where some nerds circle jerk about Linux, instead of focusing on influencing Facebook or Reddit.
Why would the Russian and Chinese governments want to influence a small collection of web forums with no real influence on the wider world?
Why wouldn't they? Why would Russian or Chinese people be any worse at using internet platforms than we are?
Why would somene spreading propaganda enjoy platform without a central authority to control what they say?
Hmm yeah, that's a tough one. A really really tough nut to crack. Just no answer.
If only I got a euro for every time I read this general bullshit denial of propaganda and disinfo, "there's no propaganda on Lemmy", I'd be a rich man

The funny thing is how this meme protects itself
Definitely not a mechanism for dismissing wrongthink. Anyone who says otherwise is in an echo chamber cult.
I agree, because the alternative is much worse.
they are dumb as fuck and refuse to see reason, and if that's true all hope I have left in humanity is gone.
let me tell you...I don't have much hope left.
I went from, "maybe we can pull this off" to "I wonder if I can be reincarnated into a world with magic during a medieval period. just give me a house on a mountain next to a forest and I'll be happy."
What if you are the one that is dumb as fuck, but you think you are smart? How would you know?
impossible. I'm far too intelligent to be dumb.
It's the George Carlin bit about driving, "Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?".
Or literally Hitler.
