Reddit at this point a psyop for multiple different countries, political parties, celebrities, influenzars and such. US, Israel, China, Russia, India, Pakistan, and others have Internet task force to push propaganda and limit negative PR.

Votes aren’t public in reddit and is a great cover for hiding any coordinated influence. Keep creating new accounts, make it seem natural by posting on random subs, use old accounts for posts/comments and new accounts for votes. To an unsuspecting user, nothing seems out of ordinary.

On ActivityPub all votes are public and manipulation can be detected or analyzed now or in future. Instance admins could check this and see a pattern. And there are many many many instances, so any one might run into something.

Also mod logs are public in lemmy, unlike reddit. Censorship from mods and admins are already a constant cause for drama but makes it a lot more transparent for the community.

So it’s less influential. So, they try to dissuade people from making Lemmy and Mastodon less interesting.

I’m not saying it’s not possible here, but it’s too early and needs a lot more work than reddit. People already do not interact with users from instances they dislike. You already see some patterns in how users of instance behave and avoid them.

The reply is more succinct.

Everything ultimately comes down to governance, rules, and culture.

If the government favors you and you can rub each others back. You’ll most likely succeed. Add global surveillance, subverting local laws and rules. Then even better.

China’s using the same tactic while US complains about national security. They had no problem doing the same to other countries though.

Votes are going to do nothing (as obvious for decades). Sanction US for its warcrimes and funding of genocide, if you really give a damn.

Quit virtue signalling against fascist states.

Sounds to me like a case of academic money laundering.

“Yes, sure, it’s the most original of the original. It’s so original it predates the original. I just need a cut once you sell it”

The stacksocial deal is still online and appears on the second page with a google search (for me at least) with keyword “vpnsecure”.

There’s no way they didn’t perform a single search for the company name and go through a few pages.

They also say they didn’t inherit the user payment contracts but refute themselves saying they continued providing service to users for 2 years. How do they continue user accounts when they didn’t inherit those contracts? Shouldn’t they have started with a new user db right away?

Seems to me they knew, and wanted to drop the baggage with little backlash, which didn’t turn out as well as they thought.

because of the numbers of users (most likely gamers who have friends already on the platform as well) who already have discord? idk

I like how you wanks use the same arguments as easy wins like “We have freedom of speech, do you?” or “The people are outnumber the government army, we have 2nd ammendment for a reason”

But when it really comes down to it, there’s an long essay like yours on how it’s fucking not practical like EVERYONE ELSE WAS SAYING ALL ALONG.

It’s like the world had already figured different scenarios and the likely outcome , but you ate the propaganda shit and now you have to fester in it.

That’s very mean. I hope you don’t let it get to you.

It’s like they spent a lot in propaganda to differentiate between US and US tech giants vs China and Chinese tech giants but they’re essentially the same.

Two shitty delusional cult leaders hate each other.

It’s a case of "first they came for… " and sure it won’t eventually matter who they first came for. But the people they first target is definitely a color/race issue, let’s call it then first objective.

They wouldn’t be openly doing the nazi salute, if it wasn’t.

Spy Tasks:

• Make false claims about weapons of mass destruction
• Try and hide chat messages

Sorry, English is not my 1st language, neither is Spanish (or wherever “libre” came from), but “libreoffice” sounds much better to me.

US has been okay with war criminals, as their presidents, so what’s another fascist?

oh it’s a problem now because it’s turning on its own people? hmm… who woulda guessed unchecked power turns authoritarian?

send someone to jail for fuck sake, they aren’t afraid of fines as CCP literally behind them.

Why work on features when you can overhaul the UI, and release it as major update every few years?
