    Yeah… OP is blind to the massive Kremlin and CCP propaganda problem here in the Fediverse.

      After hexbear got defederated from most of the major instances, the fucking losers just make alts on different instances so they can continue defending that propaganda filled shithole. Now .ml seems like the new worst, no matter what you do these no-life losers will find a way to spread their bullshit.

      Takes much more effort to try and stop them than it does for these losers to make alts unfortunately.

        I was under the impression that the .ml admins actually promote them because it’s run by people from Hexbear.

          It’s a bit more mask on, and there’s a few legit communities there, as opposed to Hexbear where the entire instance has a stated goal.

          But it’s pretty bad.

          Ml is run by the creators of Lemmy, and hexbear is well… Not. Hexbear made their own fork of lemmy a long time ago and only in the past year or so have they been actually able to federate at all. I don’t see the creators of Lemmy going through all that effort to hide their identities if they were actually running hexbear behind the scenes

        Hexbear wasn’t federated to begin with for many instances, and Lemmy.ml hasn’t really changed as a result of Hexbear getting defederated by servers like Lemmy.world and Lemmy.ca, because Hexbear has a more secluded user-base. Hexbear intentionally tries to be careful with who they federate with.

        They’re not just some losers sitting on their mom’s basements, they’re paid or programmed to spread disinformation and division.

          By a con­tin­u­ous shift­ing of rhetor­i­cal focus, the ene­mies are at the same time too strong and too weak.

      Somewhere in Moscow, there’s a big red phone that connects to its counterpart in Beijing, where Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping discuss the latest attempts to influence an indie reddit spin-off with an elaborate network of Markov Chain LLMs producing comments like “I wish y’all wouldn’t be so nakedly racist towards people from other countries.”

          Am I denying the existence of a branch of international foreign intelligence dedicated specifically to Lemmy.world?

          Yes. 100%. Absolutely.

          It’s pure paranoia.
