Nah, more like "Russian bots exist and some people I disagree with are Russian bots." Which is pretty much the entire premise of the article.
It's also pretty easy to tell the difference IMO. The trolls tend to just do nothing but troll and flame. They don't really spend much time engaging on other topics.
As far as why I think Lemmy is a training ground? Call it a hunch. Obviously I don't have a notarized letter from a troll farm saying that they are in control of a certain worldnews forum, but a lot of the usual suspects fit a bit too neatly into that box to not raise an eyebrow. There are some other patterns as well but its definitely all circumstantial.
And before people say "not Lemmy, we are too small" - It's pretty obvious that a major Lemmy instance is literally a training ground for these recruits before they get promoted to Facebook and reddit duty (either intentionally or otherwise). There have been a few narratives this election which seem to have been tested out on here weeks before getting to Facebook and reddit. "Blue MAGA" was a pretty obvious one they seemed to workshop on Lemmy.
I choose to use my individual agency to focus on mammoth cloning and not climate change. Are you going to arrest me and force me to do the science you want?
If you never browse all, you probably miss it, but anything which is politics or news adjacent is filled with campist brain rot from people who think "socialism" is relitigating the cold war. Then you will get banned for saying things like "remember that time Russia shot down a civilian airliner?" or "I don't think sexual violence is a right of the oppressed."
This is one of my most common dreams now. When I was younger it was wild sex dreams. Now it's literally just meeting my dream woman and it goes smoothly.
How do you know that the only reason you don't like cat shit is because you have a cultural revulsion to it?
My wife fucking loves coagulated blood. Like just big old chunks of blood which was packed into casings and boiled until it became a massive chunk of scab. Meanwhile I legit cannot be in the same room with it. As far as I'm concerned it might as well be cat shit
He's just asking for a favor bro
Nah, I'm not vegan so I probably wouldn't like my cat's food
I still have [religious figure]@gmail.com
The account is completely overrun with spam. And there are about 20 people who seem to think it is their actual email address and I get like legit power bills and stuff on it.
