I've opened Lemmy today to lots of anti Canadian sentiment on any recent comments about how messed up 'murica is and it's constant attacks on Canadian sovereignty.

Don't get sucked in. Let them yell into a void. The online campaign has begun in earnest on Lemmy and it's time to point it out and recognise it for what it is.

These are not real people. They are actors trying to affect our decisions as always happens when American exceptionalism is challenged. Our government had the balls to stand up and say no. We have the balls to do the same. They do not like it and will attack you for it.

Don't fall for the bait.

Yah, well good luck with that. I am an old flower child educated in critical thinking. No amount of propaganda or the bombardment of such will ever sway me to hate any human being for just wanting to live a good life.

I am convinced our elections were somehow rigged here in the states. At the very least, the bots changed the outcome. But now that the shit-heels are in power, there's fuck-all that can be done about it. I've resigned myself to leave. I've been wanting to at least a decade or more, but I can't rest on my comfort anymore. It's time.

I do hope Canada can overcome this. I fear for the entire world. I am rooting for you, the EU, and general sanity worldwide.

For sure. For what it’s worth I’m pretty new too. If this place continues to grow it will be a bigger target for misinformation campaigns so it’s wise to be vigilant

I’ll admit that I’m not the most patriotic American (I’m an emigrant, for one), and I’m not from a deep trump area, but I don’t know a single American, except for maybe my fox news addled dad, who doesn’t think Canada’s completely in the right. Even Vermonters who worry about heating their homes want trump to stop, not Canada.

Oh I can enrage americans? Awesome. It's going to be a good day. A not getting banned off reddit day.

LLMs will yell into the void. It's never been simpler.

I don't know if this is true on not but in the settings for your account it has a toggle to not allow bot comments to show up. It might only work for people that select the "bot account" option but just in case it's an auto filter I'd say try it out, I have felt like I've not seen bots since moving over from reddit

Hey, all I can say is that there's a lot of really uneducated people in the US, and they voted for a president that is skilled at whipping them into a frenzy over anything.

It's not you guys, it's them. I'm sorry. I wish there was something I could do. I'm afraid to speak out though, my wife doesn't have her citizenship yet and they've been unlawfully deporting green card holders left and right.

I kinda wish the world would stand up together and say "fuck you, guy" and literally cut the US out of the world economy until they depose the dictator. Sadly nation states seem more interested in making backroom deals than bringing the global recession that is inevitable/ongoing.
