you are putting way too much faith in how much i give a shit about this comment thread lmao. I barely remember what the last comment is and i’m not even going to read it.
because i’m trying to gather in the field knowledge about the funny internet people feel about these problems. So far i’m learning that they’re mostly helpless, and primarily bots. So that’s cool.
i pretty much blanket assume that an account posting liberal fascism shit with a likely trans acc that has cyrillic in the bio is probably not a real person. (nothing against trans people, i just assume that the vast majority of trans people are not natively russian, and those that are are are probably more concerned about the trump campaign.)
It’s likely not perfect, but like, who the fuck else is posting anti anti-fascist shit like that. Republicans do it because they’re insane. Democrats only do that because of israel palestine and it’s fundamental integrity to their lifes existence for now. Outside of these people, i simply do not believe there are people that genuinely believe that the harris campaign is a more significant threat to democracy than the literal fascist party.
TL;DR if the account seems like it’s shitposting it’s probably shitposting, and if it’s bio seems sus, it’s probably sus. Aside from that post history is a good one along with account age, that account was fairly young as well iirc.
Although to be fair, it’s probably not a bot account, and more likely a smurf/astroturfing account, but that’s equivalent to a bot IMO. We’ve seen similar threads on other posts, either from hexbear alts or just straight up bots. ChatGPT disinfo has got to be some of the spookiest shit out there right now.
You’re building a strawman argument, putting words that have never been said in a widespread manner in people’s mouths.

Then why even bother replying here? You seem rather invested for someone so “unbothered”

What’s your process of figuring out that they’re bots? I’d be surprised if anyone cared enough about lemmy to invest in making bot accounts.
