Do you think actual sponsored accounts/bots or just indoctrinated people?

[-] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago

100% just indoctrinated people, lemmy is too small to catch anyone's attention.

You tend to have very extreme views, which sometimes get heavily downvoted. It’s convenient for you to blame that on “American indoctrination.”

And as you say, Lemmy is too small. So maybe it’s just that a lot of people here do not agree with your views.

Even for people, who are not Leninist/Stalinist or similar, it is noticeable.

From my perspective (being not from the US) us-american arrogance is very present on lemmy.

us-american arrogance is very present ~~on lemmy~~ literally everywhere.

Those aren't mutually exclusive; “American indoctrination.” is the reason so many lemmitors disagree with such extreme views as "sending weapons that prolong war is bad for the people who will suffer the effects of those weapons, mostly civilians", "supporting al-nusra is bad", "we shouldn't put tariffs on EVs and solar panels", or "the chinese government having your data is less of a threat to you than the american government having your data"

Both, but there was definitely blatant astroturfing after Biden withdrew and Kamala became the nominee.

I think we just have a surprising amount of political staffers in Lemmy. The bulk does seem to be wealthy people living in suburbs. Look at how the biggest groups are people self hosting thousands and thousands of dollars of equipment.

Surprising amount of political staffers... As if that is a class of people. Those people are normies and not tech savvy. They're all workaholics too so most of them probably only used LinkedIn for social media.

Your idea that people who self-host somehow equals political staffers is just asinine. There's literally no overlap.

i really doubt any major organizations are paying for bots, at least not on lemmy. we're just not big enough methinks
if there are any it's probably a smaller operation done by a few people max.
