Man, the replies are shilled as hell. There's a war of aggresion in Europe, and nobody can afford to be a bystander. We have paid bitterly for inaction against dictators in the past, and we must not let history repeat itself. No amount of fake handwringing or nuclear sabre rattling will change the fact that Ukraine is a free and sovereign nation, and that Russia has no right to have any territorial pretensions towards it. As for the paid trolls and contrarians - history will not remember you kindly.
I can't believe how many tankies I had to scroll past to find a sane comment.
The troll farms are very happy with the fediverse movement. It's much much easier to exploit and deceive compared to big regulated tech companies. The neckbeards behind Lemmy are also typical 'marketplace of ideas' naïve idiots, making it that much easier for groups to spread their misinformation unopposed.
Even so it's a net positive. The world just needs to get better at critical thinking. Hell, I had to take a whole class on it in college. I personally think it should be a high school class.
Has there been any proof from any Fediverse admin who could confirm that troll farms are active on Lemmy/Fediverse? I'd be interested to read more about that. Thanks!
Edit: Would've expected that it's too small in comparision to the big players.
