Lemmy has it's share of trolls, but we also have our share of russian propaganda trying to influence our election. This specific moderator of a very large Lemmy community (LateStageCapitalism) has been posting "democrats are actually the fascists!" memes, while banning/censoring everyone who speaks out in favor of the very people attempting to thwart the literal fascist regime in power right now.

    If everything you disagree with is a Russian bot then you literally have no idea what any duck walks or quacks like, it's just a meaningless repetition of your opinion and the propaganda you have been fed - circular by definition

    Except there is well documented links to funding from Russia for exactly this, csis and formally the FBI (before they became a Russian asset) has been sounding the alarm since 2012.

    If you're on the side of Russian bots what does that say about you?

    Breaking news! Declining empire accuses its adversaries of the things it itself is doing, and other things that have never happened before!

    If you're on the side of Russian bots what does that say about you?

    Am I? How again did we identify that there were Russian bots on Lemmy again? Was it because they disagreed with OP about the merits of participating in bourgeois elections?

    You know, I used to care about all of that, I listened to Mueller She Wrote and all the rest. In the end though either there was no there there or Biden spiked the follow-up. Either the Dems knew there was nothing there or didn't care, either way proving the point about bourgeois elections

    Well you're in good company with Donald trump, funny how often you overlap

    We communists look on with astonishment as he singlehandedly tears down the empire piece by piece. Needless to say, we shed no tears for it

    Or a Russian asset took office and stacked the deck. Democrats have a lot to answer for but Russian election meddling and ties to Trump and his family are so out the open that of you're towing that line you're not doing so in good faith.

    Biden and Garland had four years and did nothing. They don't actually care, it's just a talking point for them
