No, they've been here from well before the Reddit migration. It was just that the activity from Reddit migrants had died down and now you're seeing more of what Lemmy was beforehand.
Ah. It’s a bummer.
I’m ok with criticism of the US, but this just seems like a targeted stream of anti western crap.
It’s sad that the internet is getting trashed by state actors for their own gain, and unfortunate for those who take it all at face value.
You think state actors are targeting lemmy? That seems like an incredibly bad investment. Do you think the troll farms boss would be happy with me posting on here instead of facebook or twitter?
It's actually far more likely that your opinion (including this hot take right here) has been formed by many an organization or rich dude throwing money at promoting their views in both traditional media and social media. Of course this place here seems out of place to you, you're the one that has taken the propaganda at face value.
Actually, there is high value in posting where their upvotes matter a lot. That’s why Russia hijacked r/conspiracy - because they didn’t have the numbers to overwhelm some of the bigger subreddits.
A new medium like Lemmy is easy to hijack. And clearly it’s happening. I read a very broad cross section of news, and a lot of the stuff that’s getting upvoted here is simply lame anti—west propaganda.
