lol no shit. Dozens of them are on here
You can rest assured neither Putin nor Xi is paying my rent- believe me I wish they were
Damn, you’re getting George Soros bucks?
The dream 🤩 I’m just posting on lemmy for exposure
So you do it just to hurt people eh?
Are my posts that bad that they cause actual pain? I had no idea I was this powerful, sorry.
Sorry means you stop. 🤯
I am dialing back my posting energy 25%, it’s the best I can do until my caffeine wears off.
You could use all that energy to look for a job
I already have several, I’m not working at one of them right now!
Do you genuinely believe that?
Why wouldn’t they be?
It’s not like it costs money to creat accounts, or post/comment,
This is a tiny place, and unlike reddit, there’s not enough history that you can just make bots repost old threads and comments or buy old accounts to generate fake histories without people catching on, and the admins of the instances would probably call it out if they noticed anything awry.
You can repost the exact same screenshots of tweets in the fuck_{subject} communities one to two times a day and get showered in upvotes.
Yes, mostly from your instance.
I don’t know… do they need to come from lemmy.ml when there are so many from there willing to do the work for them for free?
Would you show me what lead you to believe this? Do you have any evidence of an account whose actions are consistent with those of a bot? Say reposting old comments as a response to a repost to build fake history, or pretending to be one thing in one case and not others, or a sudden shift in content indicating the account was sold?
Or is it just easier to believe as it gives you an excuse not to examine your own beliefs?
I completely believe tankies from lemmy.ml who come here to defend Russia and tell people to not vote for Harris are not bots or paid shills. Neither is needed when there are tankies to do it regardless.
How completely relevant to what I’m talking about.
You’re right I’m not even a tankie
Food is the most affordable it’s ever been
Cool, so as long as I’m making at least $30/hour I’m “fine***”. 🫠
(Also my wage would have had to have been $20/hr increased to $30/hr in the span of that chart for your statement to be true)
I, for one, find it easier to believe y’all are just that stupid, no russian bots necessary.
Absolutely. Here’s one specific example.

Little of both. Ronald Reagan tilled the soil, and the later Republicans fertilized it. Why wouldn’t foreign disinformation groups sow seeds in such perfect fields?
A big chunk of the problem in US politics is the two party system enforced by first past the post. Very few people actually agree with 100% of either party’s policies, so the deciding factor for most people becomes either which party do I agree with more of their policies, or in some cases which policies do I feel are most critical and therefore drive the overall decision. This has been made even worse by Republicans strategically picking policies to try to drive a wedge in between them and Democrats particularly around certain hot button issues like abortion, gun control, and religion.
Ronald Reagan was immensely popular, even with some liberal voters.
Well, he was an actor. That helps with popularity in a setting where appearances are generally more important than substance
Just because you’re popular, doesn’t make you right.
He was very popular which made him that much more dangerous. His trickle down economics lie has done more to destroy the US economy than just about anything else. To this day there’s still people who feel it’s a viable model despite nearly half a century now of showing it doesn’t work. He and Nancy Reagan are also responsible for continuing the culture war against minorities that Nixon started.
We are Americans… nobody can divide us better than ourselves!!
We don’t know what we’re doing, we hate each other, we can’t agree on anything, and we love killing one another. I think if they try to divide us any further we’ll just end up wrapping back around.
That’s because they’ve been doing that for decades: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_measures#United_States
