General sentiment doesn't matter. It's when you, for example, point out that davel@lemmy.ml is a Russian disinformation agent. He is literally Russian, he's cleaned up his profiles now, but when I started looking into that account I found several alts on other instances with communication in Russian. Like there wasn't even a hint of suspicion if he was Russian or not.

But davel@lemmy.ml account adamantly insists that they are American "born and bred", while still literally saying Putin is right to invade Ukraine, denying Uyghyr genocide, denying Russian war crimes, posted tons in the run up to the US presidential election about "don't vote genocide joe" and all that "avoid voting no matter what" bullshit as an intentional push to instigate apathy in American voters to decrease voter turnout.

Him, antioutsideaktion, it's rather trivial to recognise them.

And the simplest way is to ask them "are you pro-Russian". Davel is afraid of answering it, despite clearly and vocally supporting Russian propaganda, even going so far as to literally say "reality has a well known Russian propaganda bias". I mean, literally.

And after saying that, he still won't say he's Russian. And pretends to be American? What a patriot, right?

He's a mod so he banned me from everywhere he could. Nowadays he doesn't really even dare to participate on lemmy.world so I don't engage him. :D
