MODERATORS
Most people don't care enough about politics to comment online. Those that do, generally have opinions.
Nothing is manufactured. Hanlon's razor applies really hard here.
If you can prove every lemmy user is a genuine individual and not a sockpuppet account or an LLM with posting privileges you could make MILLIONS in tech.
But you can't and that's all bull.
It's one of those unfalsifiable and unnecessarily complicated/malicious things, like other conspiracy theories.
In case you're unfamiliar with Hanlon's razor: "Never attribute to malice that which can adequately be attributed to stupidity"
Edit: To be clear, I didn't mean literally, exactly nothing. Some things are manufactured, like the reviews on my dentist's office, but the general online discourse isn't.
You typed all those words and yet only made the same point.
I'm not attributing your choice to do so on malice, no.
