When people are way too smug about their wrong answer.
Posting guidelines.
All posts in this community have come from elsewhere, it is not original content, the poster in this community is not OP. The person who posts in this community isn’t necessarily endorsing whatever the post is talking about and they are not looking to argue with you about the content in the post.
You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here. I consider debate/discussions to be civil; people with different opinions participating in respectful conversations. It becomes an argument as soon as someone becomes aggressive, nasty, insulting or just plain unpleasant. Report argumentative comments, then ignore them.
There is currently no rule about how recent a post needs to be because the community is about the comeback part, not the topic.
Rules:
• Be civil and remember the human.
• No trolling, insults or name calling. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone.
• No bigotry of any kind, including homophobia, transphobia, sexism and racism.
• You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here. I consider debate/discussions to be civil; people with different opinions participating in respectful conversations. It becomes an argument as soon as someone becomes aggressive, nasty, insulting or just plain unpleasant. Report argumentative comments, then ignore them.
• Try not to get too political. A lot of these posts will involve politics, but this isn’t the place for political arguments.
• Participate in good faith - don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguements sake.
• Mark NSFW posts if they contain nudity.
• Satire is allowed but please start the post title with [satire] so other users can filter it out if they’d like.
Please report comments that break site or community rules to the mods. If you break the rules you’ll receive one warning before being banned from this community.
This community follows the rules of the lemmy.world instance and the lemmy.org code of conduct. I’ve summarised them here:
- Be civil, remember the human.
- No insulting or harassing other members. That includes name calling.
- Respect differences of opinion. Civil discussion/debate is fine, arguing is not. Criticise ideas, not people.
- Keep unrequested/unstructured critique to a minimum.
- Remember we have all chosen to be here voluntarily. Respect the spent time and effort people have spent creating posts in order to share something they find amusing with you.
- Swearing in general is fine, swearing to insult another commenter isn’t.
- No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia or any other type of bigotry.
- No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies.

More likely a case of "confidently being paid to lie"
A lot of useful idiots do it for free
“Notice me Putin Senpai!”
I have to admit, the number of people who simp for Authoritarians is much higher than I thought it would ever be.
Imagine posting this drivel on the Internet and you're not even getting any money for making such a fool of yourself in public
It seems to happen in a lot of areas today. This generation let a lot things erode because of it. I remember people defending the introduction of ads on to the internet.
"Its just a 30 second skippable ad. Stop complaining",
"so what they collect a little data, they want to gear ads to their audience",
"Its 4 consecutive 2 min unskippable ads, who cares. Not the end of the world",
"they built a profile of you that lists everyone you know through social media using the tools and methods they learned from these ad systems. The profile lists all your motivations, wants and needs based off your favorite Mr. Beast shorts that they use to target political ads meant to radicalize you and if not you then your friends, Dada, uncles, moms, sisters. Shut up and drink your athletic greens."
Daily reminder that you can opt out of Google's advertising "personalisation". They don't advertise this ability for obvious reasons.
But isn't everything tracked and sold now. I used reddit, they have a profile that gets sold. Youtube has my ip. My go to recipe site knows my favorite food. And all that is bought by ad companies how buy our attention from our favorite podcasts and videos who whore us out

The account has been suspended, so quite possibliy
If anything doesn’t that indicate that it’s not as likely, what with pedophiles, nazis, and what have you being let onto Twitter again in the name of “free speech?”
I'm going to guess that Xwitter still kicks off accounts that are associated with bot farms and other astroturfing efforts and ythis may have been one of them.
The difference between those groups and Russian propagandists is that you-know-who sympathises with the former but not the latter
Doesn't he though? He's gotten grumpy about helping the Ukranians with internet from time to time, and he's declared that Russia should get to keep Crimea. I bet if the invasion of Ukraine happened today he'd have refused to help Ukraine with Starlink at all, he's so far down the far-right rabbit hole.
