I know astroturfing exists, and yes that is an example of it. "Dark brandon" is another such example.

    I still don't know what you think astroturfing is and which groups are doing the astroturfing

    Sure looks like the left has been growing in numbers from my time in leftist orgs. I'm also not sure the likelihood of the heritage foundation taking a chance on accidentally initiating Black Panthers 2.0 in the US.

    Just because you don't agree with people on this platform, you should probably understand that lemmy, a place that can't be swayed by an algorithm controlled by billionaires, and notably created by communist developers, would attract other communists here. You came into our space questioned our legitimacy here. The fuck

    Behind walkaway absolutely: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36t5-0Tpu30

    The bernie movement was notably organic with a lot of volunteer activity and not astroturfed. That's why the nomination going to Hillary was such a big upset.

    The main developers of lemmy are funded by individual donations and the instances largely as well. The only exception I think of is lemmy.world if I remember correctly. Precisely which organisations do you think are astroturfing on lemmy?
