Cyber Police Department of the National Police of Ukraine dismantled another massive bot farm linked to more than 100 individuals after searches at almost two dozen locations.
Nah, lemmy is too small of a circlejerk to really be a target for these people. I don't think instances require working phone numbers for account creation anyway.
Have you seen Hexbear? It's all just Russian/Chinese propaganda. If the trolls aren't posting there, the users are getting their information from the trolls and then reposting it.
Fuck off. People post all sorts of news on Hexbear. From sources like the US business press, to foreign state media, to individual radical organizations within various countries. Despite the shitposting, we actually do have a modicum of media literacy. We understand that if something is coming from RT, it is obviously going to paint the Russian Federation in a favorable light. We understand that if something is coming from the Wall Street Journal, it is Murdoch slop but needs to be honest about the money. We understand that if something is coming from Telesur, it is sanctioned by the government of Venezuela.
Still, we have a much clearer picture of what's going on in the world than you do. We don't just browse the whitelist of news sources made available on r/Politics and base our worldview on the congressional kayfabe. We don't just float from headline to headline like a bunch of fucking goldfish. We also study history and political theory. We understand there is a context for all of this shit.
Fuck off back to your tankie forums loser. You're no better than any other basement dwelling forum users. You just think you're edgy and cool when you say "USA bad, China and Russia good"
