    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.

        consider doing some blocking of users/instances.

          Blocking them just cedes the floor to them. It’s not silencing them, it’s plugging your own ears.
