This is a tiny place, and unlike reddit, there’s not enough history that you can just make bots repost old threads and comments or buy old accounts to generate fake histories without people catching on, and the admins of the instances would probably call it out if they noticed anything awry.
Would you show me what lead you to believe this? Do you have any evidence of an account whose actions are consistent with those of a bot? Say reposting old comments as a response to a repost to build fake history, or pretending to be one thing in one case and not others, or a sudden shift in content indicating the account was sold?
Or is it just easier to believe as it gives you an excuse not to examine your own beliefs?
I completely believe tankies from lemmy.ml who come here to defend Russia and tell people to not vote for Harris are not bots or paid shills. Neither is needed when there are tankies to do it regardless.
I guess if I was talking about “all the dumbasses on lemmy.world” and commiserating with others about how “they’re not paid, they’re just actually that stupid” you would probably take offense too
Do you genuinely believe that?
Why wouldn’t they be?
It’s not like it costs money to creat accounts, or post/comment,

You can repost the exact same screenshots of tweets in the fuck_{subject} communities one to two times a day and get showered in upvotes.
Yes, mostly from your instance.
I don’t know… do they need to come from lemmy.ml when there are so many from there willing to do the work for them for free?

How completely relevant to what I’m talking about.
You’re right I’m not even a tankie
Then I guess I wasn’t talking about you, was I? Quick to take offense, aren’t you?

Food is the most affordable it’s ever been
Cool, so as long as I’m making at least $30/hour I’m “fine***”. 🫠
(Also my wage would have had to have been $20/hr increased to $30/hr in the span of that chart for your statement to be true)
I, for one, find it easier to believe y’all are just that stupid, no russian bots necessary.
Absolutely. Here’s one specific example.
