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.

Some anarchists actually do call for boycotting elections, but few Marxist-Leninists do. Bourgeois elections have their uses. What we do say is that we can’t vote our way out of capitalism and that our vote hardly matters because we live in an oligarchy, not a democracy, and research at Princeton & Northwestern back this up.
