More like CCP and propaganda enthusiasts

Right, but when one of the communities has a reputation for authoritarian admins and mods dedicated to spreading propaganda it's a bit different.

You're right, I knew better but still conflated the Lemmyverse and Lemmy.ml.

Some are regular people, some are paid shills, some are bots.

It's standard, unfortunately, I'm not the only one

Fair enough. Just saw a similar but more extreme thing happen to another comment so I made an assumption.

Malicious propaganda isn't a non-problem. I'd like a social media platform that doesn't have any governments openly pumping their lies into the conversation.

1. Hold my hand and we'll go visit their house and ask them
2. Creating something doesn't give them the right to spread lies, and they probably funded it specifically in order to spread propaganda
3. This post isn't a systemic campaign of disinformation... a single person saying we should do something isn't propaganda. I'm talking about government-driven efforts to change thought and opinions. In this case, from a government with a long history of murdering and oppressing people.

Liberals didn't preside over colonialism, that's ridiculous.

I don't think Marxists are brainwashed at all. Can't you contribute without putting words in my mouth?

People are streaming into relatively liberal countries by the millions because of opportunities and freedom.

Thank you

Then defederate from Lemmy.ml.

Agreed, this is the best option.

Yes let's all just pretend their propaganda is actual opinions held by real people.

They learn from who they are worshipping pays them and might disappear them if they say the wrong thing.

You probably got hit by a bunch of lemmy.ml brigade downvotes then real users showed up and upvoted you.

I have Lemmy.ml blocked and I still see them in other communities all the time. Defederation is the best solution for dealing with an instance that's designed to spread propaganda.

And no this isn't a dead horse, there's are other discussions ongoing about defederating Lemmy.ml

Why are people with this worldview so common here?

Plenty of them aren't "people," they're simply anonymous accounts used to spread and promote propaganda. Some content generated by people, some from LLMs.

They're common here because they can run their disinformation campaigns without a corporation interfering. Tik Tok isn't the CCP's only attempt to influence people through social media.

I've had enough bad faith interactions with lemmy.ml accounts that it's become helpful to expect it from them.

Sure there are some actual people over there who are willing to engage in a fair way, but its not worth rolling the dice.

Plenty of people try Lemmy then promptly leave when they realize it's run by "Marxists" (i.e. people pretending to Marxists as a facade for spreading CCP propaganda).
