Impossible to prove or disprove, but grad ML and Hexbear follow the exact leftist ideologies these agencies try to push.
They also push extreme right ideologies too, anything that destabilises and improves relationship with russia china is good for them.
Things like the internet research agency (russian keyboard army propaganda organisation ) and chinese equivalents are far more widespread than most imagine
Yep. I’m very confused though because the tolerance towards tankies makes me think the mods are further “left” (authoritarian left) then the userbase, but then the MBFC bot makes me think the opposite.
Reading through all that, I’d have to say I’m on your side, as I don’t really see evidence of “stalking”.
I reported an account for stalking once on politicalmemes that got permabanned, but thats because in the three minutes after I replied to them, they went out of their way to comment insults on random posts of mine from MONTHS ago.
The same memes over and over “both sides are bad don’t vote” usually decently downvoted but still appears in my feed just the same are really annoying on c/politicalmemes, so I really get where you’re coming from.
I have to note its a funny coincidence that I couldn’t find your original thread as turns out the account you are arguing had been previously blocked by me.
would be interested to hear you elaborate on this.
There are one or two million eligible US voters on reddit by estimate. A decent chunk of those are progressive left. People like u/leninmeowmeow have been increasingly taking over left wing subreddits, and pushing pro-russia and “don’t vote both sides bad” propaganda, which does impact US voters.
I had a health emergency in June 2023 and was pretty much unable to use reddit until April 2024. Going back, the same subreddits felt like a different world. A bunch of subreddits I frequented, that had been social democrat and pro-ukraine, became subtly pro-russia. This is the reason I left reddit for lemmy. I felt like my political ideology (idealistically I’m an anarcho-marxist, but I still vote for the better candidate to shift the overton window, and I’m critical of Chinese and Russian imperialism, and really all the authoritarian “communist” regimes) had no place on reddit anymore.
Tankie Uyghur genocide + Russian war crimes denialist mods:
lemmy.ml 🤝 Chinese + Russian social media
I know I’ll get banned for this, but I figured I’d go out holding my head high.
Cochafers and Cockroaches aren’t the same species btw
Yes!
r/politics is the exception.
But what’s left on reddit is usually far left russian propagnada surrogate subs, and centrist - far right content. The “social democratic left” demographic has severely shrunk.
Yep. Imagine being bedridden with a severe illness and when people who don’t understand meet you (which is most people) they go “get up and live your life” or “get up and do X”
A lot of people (even a few doctors!) brain seems not able to comprehend that someone could be sick and not get better ie. chronic illness.
thats another option too!
Either they’re browsing reddit through a third party service that puts posts based on relevance without counting age, like scrollr. Or they are falling upon posts in google search results.
Another thing you could do is add a way to copy url of post media. Which would make it much easier to share videos on lemmy as lemmy doesn’t host.
To do this all you need to do is request the same post with “.json” at the end of the url, and copy the “fallback_url” data point
Wait so does it have adds like the normal reddit or is it like lemmy?
Thanks for the warning but he doesn’t mod the subreddit this discussion was in. I replied with an alt because he blocked me so I couldn’t see his messages anymore.
