Yeah. Ive picked /conservative. Ive been posting a mixture of fluff and actual posts. Early days, but it seems to be picking up speed. Just post, it works!
I've seen that it's already gotten invaded, and most posts are mass downvoted.
I'd check his post history before engaging. He's trying to rebuild a spammy, dishonest right wing space in Lemmy.
He's free to do so, but it's just going to bring in trolls, bots, bad faith arguments, and extreme posting to sell shit.
I get that it's inevitable, but let's be careful what we're encouraging.
Russian bot farms need some more ukranian drones.
What's the value of posting "fluff"? If you're just trying to get engagement for engagement sake, why?
Trying to get engagenent, letting other conservatives know we exist, that sort of thing.
You admit that you're posting what are essentially lies in order to attract conservatives? Y'all really are just saying the quiet part out loud.
