I wouldn’t completely rule it out. I suspect it’s much easier to “taint” and disrupt smaller communities. A lot less resources could be strategically used against lemmy - or any other small platform - at their early growth stage.
But why bother with Lemmy when it’s already filled with propaganda? All content on lemmy comes from mainstream social media to begin with, so it’ll naturally flow into Lemmy.
I’ve noticed that the literal most sure way to recognise Russian trolls, is they’re always insisting people aren’t Russian trolls and that in fact, no such things actually even exist.
That’s why Davel@lemmy.ml doesn’t post on lemmy.world anymore.
For me it’s just the pathetic wankers who avoid admitting that Putin is a war criminal with an ICC arrest out for him, justly, or if they do, they do it like “well allworld leaders are equally evil, Putin is no worse than Zelensky who” and then go on equivocating or whatabouting.
But you don’t disagree about the pathetic wankers who can’t admit to what a shitbag Putin is or do it while loudly proclaiming “all world leaders are”, which means negating the criticism towards Putin. Literal whataboutism.
So you know, I’m just checking.
Because I noticed that quite often a lot of Russian trolls who are quakebuttocks who can be caught from what they refuse to talk about. Usually it’s revealed by intense efforts to avoid saying something simple like “Putin is an international war criminal” and not all world leaders are like that. No whataboutism or equivocating.
I dislike everyone, but only accuse a small portion of those of being Russian trolls.
Oh, I don’t think they are Russian trolls, so much as “useful idiots”, as the Soviet Union called them. Westerners so obsessed with the Soviet aesthetic that they’re willing to spread obvious propaganda. I very highly doubt many of them are Russian at all, or have even been to one of the countries they idolize.
Because forget living in a communist country, they like the rights democracy is supposed to afford them and don’t wanna give that up. They just aren’t willing to admit it.
ngl probably russians, spewing hate online to further conflictand
Russia supports israel
You’ll find most of the world does
unlikely considering how small lemmy is. Waste of resources.
I’ve seen posts from people saying they are Russian. I’m not sure if they qualify as trolls but I’m sure there is at least one Russian Troll on Lemmy.
No, they’re here.
This is one place they test and refine candidate tactics, as well as roll them out to the more fringe on the left.
Probably just people who only watch propaganda.
And your evidence of this?
Trust Me, Bro.

I doubt it is actually all that organized

Not everyone is a russian troll, bad people exist everywhere.
And especially considering it’s VTC, if I have to ascribe a group to them without proof, it’s the Zizians.

I know Russian trolls are on Lemmy. What is odd though is they seem to be everyone I don’t like.
Oh? Not for me.

That was supposed to be humor.

Do you know one other thing I’ve noticed? Those “Westerners” never describe themselves as “Westerners”, but it’s common parlance in Russia.
I notice you didn’t take my implication that I’d like you to admit those things I pointed out, aloud. You know, just because.
Or perhaps you did… and you’re purposefully avoiding it. Now who was it that I say does such things, most commonly…?
