What's up with this straight up pro-china and pro-russia stuff on Lemmy lately?

It's not even praising the people of China and Russia, but rather their gov directly.

Obviously the states have problems, and the EU to a lesser degree, but they at least have some human rights.

Is this some kind of organized disinformation campaign?

This post got brigaded; you know, that thing that the very same people accuse us of πŸ“½

Some of them even broke out their alt accounts, which they use exclusively for vote-spamming. One of them has a two year old account that’s never made a single post or comment. We ban those.

What's interesting is that davel doesn't put pronouns in their name, so that comment is confusing.

for whatever reason they do show up in the modlog in the op

I had to do a double take reading that comment too, because while davel is an admin, the post did say "moderator"

Huh, interesting, I never saw that. Maybe an issue with federation?
