This is new to me—how long has such activity been occurring on lemmy? Is there any way to spot such bad actors? Is this sort of thing happening all over the fediverse?
Really seems like there’s basically no places left on the web where big forces aren’t swaying the minds of the innocent…
Lemmy is absolutely inundated with bad faith actors who seem suspiciously intent on sewing as much division as possible, getting the left to be as politically ineffectual as possible, and never offering anything as a viable solution. There’s no meaningful barrier for entry so it’s pretty trivial to make a bunch of accounts and push an agenda.
That’s by no means limited to Lemmy, but Lemmy is absolutely littered with them. It’s been like this for quite a while.
