Nobody pays for troll posts on Lemmy. Lemmy is completely irrelevant and additionally the people are above average smart and critical etc. so far harder to influence.
No one, not a single human on this planet, is immune to influence. Anyone who thinks themselves above or beyond the ability to influence is actually easier to influence, since they won’t see the signs of their own manipulation.
I know plenty of people with technical smarts and high IQs who regularly fall for disinformation scams. Lots of smart people are as prone to believing what they want to believe as complete idiots.
People with strong intuition often make it through life without ever seriously developing critical thinking skills because they simply don’t need them.
Lemmy’s origins are as an alternative platform for Russian shills and sympathizers to spread misinformation, and the founders / developers are deeply stuck in that bubble. Sometimes being smart makes people more prone to conspiracy thinking instead of less.

Amen!! People need to drop the “You getting paid to post, Troll!!” BS. No on here is getting paid to do anything of the sort.
You do this shit for free? Holy fuck that’s more pathetic than I thought.
You mean the part about how I post what I find interesting? Yep, all free. Thank you!
Do you think the people who post Harris articles are getting paid to do so?!

Sure, but just compare people here with random people on Facebook, let alone the truth thing. Far harder to get to.
