I suspected that many of the accounts were Russian plants or Trump supporters trying to divide the Democrat vote. Most of the time when I checked account age they were made either that day or the day before.
I know that Lemmy is new and all but still was sus.
I haven't gone back to accounts to see if they are still active. I suspect that they aren't.
I suspect that what we saw here on lemmy were actual people who had been indoctrinated elsewhere.
Lemmy isn't really big enough to be a target for bots and so on.
Bots are cheap to write. That's naive to think there wasn't a disinformation war going on with bots being on the forefront of it.
Hmm, I'm not naive enough to believe that Lemmy is free from disinformation and bad actors, but I would be surprised if it was targeted by sophisticated state actors.
Even worse, I think those Tankies really were just Tankies. They don't want the USA to be fixed, they don't care about creating actual socialism, they just want us all to off each other. I would get into discussions with those supposed purists abstaining from Kamala in democrat centric discussions and they almost always out themselves as another masked up Tankie talking about the USA as an evil empire that needs more destruction.
They're still active now, too, trying to promote their version of "resistance" which is just more of the nation harming itself until nothing is left to oppose the CCP.
I actually disagree. I went through many of their comments and post histories. Looked alot like real people with one, devastating bad opinion.
