Absolutely.

The dictator alliance (Kremlin, CCP, Pyongyang, Tehran) are using our open societies and free speech against us. We need to use it against them too.

Fair point. I see that as a potential silver lining in this whole Kremlin disinformation era. At least some people will see it for what it is and learn.

There’s less advertising but more propaganda

Alright there champ, that’s enough beans for you, time for a nap

Not sure about Bluesky, but welcome Brazilians!

Where boobies :(

Thank you for your efforts, I have so much respect for the people who are helping to build a healthy fediverse.

Do you have Hexbear and the .ml instances blocked?

Seems like there’s basically no effort to address disinformation. I love the idea of the fediverse, but I’ve never told a single person I use it in well over a year because I’d be embarrassed if they ever visited and saw some of the content that gets upvoted here.

Most people want to block those instances, not access them.

Hi friend, I’m Bob from Ohio (or maybe Florida!). Anyway, I promise there’s nothing to worry about… other than the billions of human flesh eating illegal immigrants flooding across the border to torture your family for their sadistic pleasure. Just vote for Trump and everything will be fine!

I don’t even tell people I use Lemmy, let alone recommend it, because of how much authoritarian propaganda there is on here.

I love the idea and won’t give up on it easily, and I hope other users can join me in making it a better place by calling out propaganda.

Fuck Meta. God damn cancer on society.

I’m guessing there were too many people supporting for Harris for their liking. They lost control and it was harming their preferred candidate so they killed it.

You guys keep disregarding any and all criticism of capitalism

Spend three seconds on Lemmy and you’ll see how wrong this is.

Can you give an example? Are you talking about propaganda from a government or something else?

Centralization is still a problem, but LW doesn’t have as much propaganda and aggressive moderation

I think this is too nuanced for lemmy.ml to handle, they prefer black and white
