Just walk up to them and kill them, you don’t need an army to do it…

fuckingkangaroos ,

Yeah it’s wild, but thankfully this thread told me we don’t need an army any more, so I have to assume they’ve stopped being murderous dictators. Life is great happy happy happy

fuckingkangaroos ,

Bots are a big problem on Lemmy too.

fuckingkangaroos ,

Captured with Russian crew. T-62 I think

fuckingkangaroos ,

They sent their troops to dig radioactive trenches in Chernobyl, they don’t really care about them.

Kremlin bots spam internet with fake celebrity quotes against Ukraine (kyivindependent.com)

Russian bots with a Kremlin disinformation network published 120,000 fake anti-Ukraine quotes falsely attributed to celebrities, including Jennifer Aniston and Scarlett Johansson, in one day, the independent Russian media outlet Agentsvo reported June 15....

fuckingkangaroos ,

I think they already did. There were rumors she would support Biden and I thought “will she get Kremlin shills attacking her on social media?” Over the next few weeks there was a bunch of noise about her private jet.

Canadian warship sharing an anchorage with Russian vessels in Cuba (www.cbc.ca)

The Royal Canadian Navy now finds itself in the unusual position of both shadowing Russian warships as a threat in the Caribbean and sharing an anchorage with them as a guest in the port of Havana — because Canada accepted an invitation to send a patrol ship to Cuba while the Russian navy is in town....

fuckingkangaroos ,

Yeah, I had a much more positive view of Cuba before reading that.

fuckingkangaroos ,

Hi Dimitri 👋🏼

fuckingkangaroos ,

It’s a shill. Just tag them as shill and move on

fuckingkangaroos ,

The fish shaped solid waste gives it that extra “please call Poison Control” zest.

fuckingkangaroos ,

So there’s fried carbs with extra sugar on top, highly processed animal products, regular baked carbs, or sugar in a cup… eghh

Give me oatmeal that’s healthy and costs $1.

Hamas Wants Guarantees Ceasefire Will Actually Happen, While US Says Hamas Is Rejecting the Proposal (truthout.org)

Following the UN Security Council vote to approve a three-phase ceasefire in Gaza, U.S. officials and other international allies of Israel are cynically placing blame on Hamas for a stall in current ceasefire negotiations — even as Israel has insisted on indefinitely continuing its massacre in Gaza and Hamas has said its main...

fuckingkangaroos ,

First day on Lemmy?

fuckingkangaroos ,

Yeah good point. Just unfortunately it’s an echochamber.

fuckingkangaroos ,

Not even close, all they are is useful idiots legitimizing authoritarian propaganda.

fuckingkangaroos ,

Good luck with your hard times. It gets better

fuckingkangaroos ,

So tired of these broad, extremist generalizations on Lemmy. This is the mind of nonsense conservatives point to as “evidence liberals are stupid.”

fuckingkangaroos ,

Okay

fuckingkangaroos ,

They want innocent people to die, it’s how they get people on their side. They need it for propaganda.

fuckingkangaroos ,

Social media disinformation campaigns from the Kremlin and possibly also the CCP.

fuckingkangaroos ,

Powerful American people/groups spreading disinformation or funding political extremism is very different from the government doing it.

fuckingkangaroos ,

Feels like it’s trying to sanitize it for a Disney audience.

Also, it misses the point. People don’t think “wow, a lot of Russians fall out of windows all the time.” They know it’s the Kremlin murdering people, that’s why they make fun of the idea that the person just fell out by accident.

fuckingkangaroos ,

Easier for them to ignore the suffering they cause than ignore that their food is different from what they’re used to.

In response to the lemmy.ml moderation polemic: beware of bad faith agents!

One of the biggest topics of these days is that of mods in lemmy.ml banning and censoring people because they’re Tankies. This has had a rather sizeable discussion of people agreeing and even arguing for defederating ml. I’m sure a lot of people are arguing from good intentions, but there’s also bad faith actors among...

fuckingkangaroos ,

People should be welcome and free to discuss just about anything, authoritarian governments and their propagandists should be kicked the fuck out.

fuckingkangaroos ,

Lucky

fuckingkangaroos ,

More like CCP and propaganda enthusiasts

fuckingkangaroos , (edited )

With the ability to block hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml, I got cocky and started recommending Lemmy to people that I know irl, however upon thinking it over in greater depth, I am afraid to do that anymore.

I don’t even admit to anyone that I use Lemmy, too much political extremism and propaganda.

Within a couple weeks of signing up for Lemmy I was told I’d “get the wall”, and had to abandon an account because Lemmy.ml users followed me around and downvoted everything I posted (mostly funny memes).

fuckingkangaroos ,

I see more trolls on lemmy.world than any other instance

Maybe they see your ml account and hate you by association because of abuse they’ve suffered from other ml accounts

fuckingkangaroos ,

The fediverse shouldn’t be segregating users based on what instance they’re in.

If an instance is full of authoritarian propaganda and extreme censorship then actual users should leave.

fuckingkangaroos ,

Yeah, well said. I’m not sure about seeing where downvotes come from, if I could it might be worth getting back into my abandoned account to provide more evidence that defederation is warranted.

I don’t want to simply become insensitive to everyone else’s disapproval around me - rather I want the system to work properly so that I am only getting disapproval from people who I either respect or at least are neutral

Same. I want a system where everyone has an equal voice with limited censorship and a zero tolerance approach to governments or corporations spreading agendas.

fuckingkangaroos ,

Yeah, I see equal voice as an important goal to strive for, but realize that’s difficult on anonymous social media. It seems like it’ll only get worse as LLMs improve.

fuckingkangaroos ,

Why are people with this worldview so common here?

Plenty of them aren’t “people,” they’re simply anonymous accounts used to spread and promote propaganda. Some content generated by people, some from LLMs.

They’re common here because they can run their disinformation campaigns without a corporation interfering. Tik Tok isn’t the CCP’s only attempt to influence people through social media.

fuckingkangaroos ,

I have Lemmy.ml blocked and I still see them in other communities all the time. Defederation is the best solution for dealing with an instance that’s designed to spread propaganda.

And no this isn’t a dead horse, there’s are other discussions ongoing about defederating Lemmy.ml

fuckingkangaroos ,

You probably got hit by a bunch of lemmy.ml brigade downvotes then real users showed up and upvoted you.

fuckingkangaroos ,

They learn from who they are worshipping pays them and might disappear them if they say the wrong thing.

fuckingkangaroos ,

Yes let’s all just pretend their propaganda is actual opinions held by real people.

fuckingkangaroos ,

Then defederate from Lemmy.ml.

Agreed, this is the best option.

fuckingkangaroos ,

Thank you

fuckingkangaroos ,

People are streaming into relatively liberal countries by the millions because of opportunities and freedom.

fuckingkangaroos ,

I don’t think Marxists are brainwashed at all. Can’t you contribute without putting words in my mouth?

fuckingkangaroos ,

Liberals didn’t preside over colonialism, that’s ridiculous.

fuckingkangaroos ,
  1. Hold my hand and we’ll go visit their house and ask them
  2. Creating something doesn’t give them the right to spread lies, and they probably funded it specifically in order to spread propaganda
  3. This post isn’t a systemic campaign of disinformation… a single person saying we should do something isn’t propaganda. I’m talking about government-driven efforts to change thought and opinions. In this case, from a government with a long history of murdering and oppressing people.
fuckingkangaroos ,

Malicious propaganda isn’t a non-problem. I’d like a social media platform that doesn’t have any governments openly pumping their lies into the conversation.

fuckingkangaroos ,

Fair enough. Just saw a similar but more extreme thing happen to another comment so I made an assumption.

fuckingkangaroos ,

It’s standard, unfortunately, I’m not the only one

fuckingkangaroos ,

Some are regular people, some are paid shills, some are bots.

fuckingkangaroos ,

You’re right, I knew better but still conflated the Lemmyverse and Lemmy.ml.

fuckingkangaroos ,

There’s always murder, but we still try to stop it.

fuckingkangaroos ,

Right, but when one of the communities has a reputation for authoritarian admins and mods dedicated to spreading propaganda it’s a bit different.
