      A whopping two downvotes, yeah I’m sure the paid social media spam targets the 17k active users on lemmy.world and not the billions of users on Facebook

          It’s bedtime here now, nothing changed. Care to re-evaluate your conspiracy theories yet?

            The downvotes quadrupled while the upvotes failed to double. I think I’ll keep my theory a little longer.

              71 to 6 lol

              Even though these countries do run media spam operations, they usually target specific events and communities with a wide reach.

              Most of the people you find here will be irl people with differing views, not paid shills to spam posts.

              Also by these countries, I mean every country does this. You usually don’t see US spam because they do it against Russia and China which means their spam will be in Russian, Chinese, etc.

      I can’t speak for the other Lefties on here but I’m a Western citizen and former proud Liberal persuaded by arguments on this very website
