Actually, there is high value in posting where their upvotes matter a lot. That’s why Russia hijacked r/conspiracy - because they didn’t have the numbers to overwhelm some of the bigger subreddits.
A new medium like Lemmy is easy to hijack. And clearly it’s happening. I read a very broad cross section of news, and a lot of the stuff that’s getting upvoted here is simply lame anti—west propaganda.
Uh huh. Riiight.
I’ve been on the internet for 30 years, including BBSes and IRC, so I actually have a pretty good idea what it looked like before censorship.
This is bullshit propaganda and if you’re swallowing it all, I’m sorry.
