      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.

      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.
