People on multiple subs are sick of their authoritarian propaganda, what a shock I’m so surprised oh wow

fuckingkangaroos ,

Known shill Linkerbaan defending Lemmy.ml with a whataboutism. Not very original.

fuckingkangaroos ,

And people can (and should) defederate the propaganda machine lemmy.ml at any time.

fuckingkangaroos ,

Bingo

fuckingkangaroos ,

Plenty of people try Lemmy then promptly leave when they realize it’s run by “Marxists” (i.e. people pretending to Marxists as a facade for spreading CCP propaganda).

fuckingkangaroos ,

I’ve had enough bad faith interactions with lemmy.ml accounts that it’s become helpful to expect it from them.

Sure there are some actual people over there who are willing to engage in a fair way, but its not worth rolling the dice.

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 ,

The Kremlin has been fucking with the US’ elections for a decade. Pretty sure they already considered them an enemy.

fuckingkangaroos ,

Not all Russians support the terrorists in the Kremlin, and many who do have been brainwashed.

Lemmy.ml tankie censorship problem

I feel like we need to talk about Lemmy’s massive tankie censorship problem. A lot of popular lemmy communities are hosted on lemmy.ml. It’s been well known for a while that the admins/mods of that instance have, let’s say, rather extremist and onesided political views. In short, they’re what’s colloquially referred to...

fuckingkangaroos ,

“leftists”

They’re not, that’s just a cover for spreading CCP propaganda.

fuckingkangaroos ,

In my version of software I still see lemmy.ml comments even though I’ve blocked the instance.

They’re clearly malicious, they should be defederated.

fuckingkangaroos ,

Lemmy.ml is a cancer on the Fediverse. If we want it to survive, we need to cut it off.

fuckingkangaroos ,

I’m throwing stones. Lemmy.ml is toxic and people managing communities there are partly to blame.

fuckingkangaroos ,

They won’t get paid if they don’t effectively spread propaganda.

fuckingkangaroos ,

Linkerbaan spreading more lies. Glad I have you tagged as “shill” so it’s easy to recognize you.

fuckingkangaroos ,

Yes, DEFEDERATE LEMMY.ML

fuckingkangaroos ,

I use two apps to access Lemmy and both allow me to save notes/tag users. Maybe if you click their username you’ll see the option.

If you see accounts pushing agendas, you can tag with a note about their bias.

fuckingkangaroos ,

Yeah, there’s no central entity to address misinformation.

fuckingkangaroos ,

Tough game, as part of their “super authentic bff” relationship they seem to be loosely coordinating social media disinformation operations.

fuckingkangaroos ,

You’re fine with a murderous authoritarian government spreading disinformation where you socialize?

fuckingkangaroos ,

Nonsense, go take a look at Hexbear or Lemmygrad. There’s very little moderation here, why wouldn’t they target it?

fuckingkangaroos ,

Connect and Boost

fuckingkangaroos ,

Go ahead and “debate” the CCP, enjoy.

fuckingkangaroos ,

“Here” as in the fediverse generally, not “there” as in Hexbear.

The Fediverse currently has over a million active monthly users, and had more in the past. You think it’s not worth it for them to spread propaganda to a million people in an environment they can manipulate? Come on.

fuckingkangaroos ,

You’ll waste your time arguing with authoritarian ChatGPTs.

fuckingkangaroos ,

They don’t have the people or morale for a full-on meat grinder war over the next decade.

Russia doesn’t have the people or morale. Ukrainians are defending their homes with outside support, Russians are being dragged kicking and screaming into war with blocking troops behind them so they can’t turn and run.

Russia had a major demographic problem before any of this started, then a bunch of young men fled mobilization, now thousands are dying every week. The Kremlin’s last mobilization was deeply unpopular.

This isn’t the combined power of the USSR driven by an ideological hope for a better future, it’s a shrinking country with an unstable economy run by the Mafia.

Biden's Gaza plan 'not a good deal' but Israel accepts it, Netanyahu aide says (www.reuters.com)

Netanyahu is under pressure to keep his coalition government intact. Two far-right partners have threatened to bolt in protest at any deal they deem to spare Hamas. A centrist partner, ex-general Benny Gantz, wants the deal considered. Hamas has provisionally welcomed the Biden initiative.

fuckingkangaroos ,

I’m sure you and the other shills on lemmy.ml will be disappointed if you don’t get Trump elected again.

fuckingkangaroos ,

Typical Kremlin fear mongering. Shows they’re desperate

fuckingkangaroos ,

They get paid to spread propaganda, not good grammar

fuckingkangaroos ,

There are plenty of other things Biden had improved

fuckingkangaroos ,

Voting third party isn’t a reasonable option when one of the leading candidates is actively dismantling democracy. Voting for Biden is like saying “yes, I’d like to keep having a voice in my government”

fuckingkangaroos ,

Find me a legit entity claiming Soros is paying shills to spread propaganda. Kremlin spread of propaganda has a long history and many present day examples of major institutions and people pointing directly at it.

fuckingkangaroos ,

Again, legitimate. Fox News classifies themselves as an entertainment company.

Thanks Biden.

NATO chief Stoltenberg proposes revised €100 billion weapons fund for Ukraine (www.euractiv.com)

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg called on Friday (31 May) for NATO members to spend together ‘equitably’, €40 billion a year for Ukraine, giving up on his original multi-year plan, nevertheless assuring this will provide a long-term perspective for Ukraine....

fuckingkangaroos ,

Yeah and it’s a huge signal to the Kremlin that democracies are in it for the long run. I think Putin is making a huge gamble that his puppet Trump will win again and cut support for Ukraine. Russia can’t sustain the war like they are for that much longer.

fuckingkangaroos ,

Didn’t even try to hide that they stole it from Boston Dynamics.

fuckingkangaroos ,

Why would the IRS make software for the states, it doesn’t make sense.

fuckingkangaroos ,

I suspect Intuit is making money off of the information it gets when people file taxes through TurboTax.

Free Federal filing is also a big advertisement for their state filing options and audit support.

fuckingkangaroos ,

Another policy win for Biden.

fuckingkangaroos ,

Maybe satellite location was some of the info Trump sold to the Kremlin.

fuckingkangaroos ,

I’m sure they’re all like me and live in a blue state

And I’m sure that 70% of them are shills paid by the Kremlin to take down Biden so they can get Trump elected again.

fuckingkangaroos ,

Yeah, rich people in the Kremlin.

fuckingkangaroos ,

Agreed.

fuckingkangaroos ,

I’m my software I click on the username and then the menu button in the top right.

Other software might require a click and hold. It might say “add user note”
