Not here though. Much like glorious leader Xi Jinping, Lemmy is free from corruption and beautiful like cherry blossom in the wind.

Propaganda pushers are the absolute fucking bottomfeeders of the lowest lows.
If your job is purposely, wittingly mislead people, you're a fucking waste of blood and organs.
If your job is purposely, wittingly mislead people, you’re a fucking waste of blood and organs.
Not to in any way minimize the evils of propagandists, as they're pushing much more damaging messages, but that describes most of the advertising industry. It's just that those liars and manipulators are doing it for a brand so people waste money rather than a political cause.
It's kind of crazy that we just tolerate an entire massive industry that adds nothing to the world and is based around misleading people. And it's a business run out of fancy glass buildings out in the open rather than hidden away.

Wait do they just mean lemmygrad and hexbear users being federated to all the other instances?
Lol, right?
But actually probably not because it's just taken for granted tankies are here and they actually have to "work" to "infiltrate" places like Facebook and Reddit.
Why is Lemmy not on this list?
Because lemmy shills are super obvious, nobody has to "discover" them
They aren't even good at it. Their entire schtick is literally "you are obviously biased because you haven't read enough Lenin", like it's this big gotcha.

Reading the article it seems like the whole operation was super obvious and a bit amateurish. Par for the course.
Yeah, motherfuckers over at lemmygrad are astroturfing HARD. It's like the Russia/China circlejerk over there. The "greatest socialist experiment of all time". Smfh.
I see you haven't met hexbear yet
The “greatest socialist experiment of all time”. Smfh.
Ten years later:
China wasn't actually socialist, it was capitalist!
Don't tell them that. They'll call you an evil colonialist Democrat.
And then tell you that Democrats are fascists
*Lib
China #4
USSR maybe, Russia today is a capitalist hegemon. China is a mixed economy, and I find on the communist subs people often don't realize it went through all kinds of neoliberal reforms. There's both pro and anti China propaganda. Shen Yun for instance is pretty absurd anti China propaganda run by the Falun Gong.
Tankies still shill for Russia and China despite neither being communist.
Hey ya'll, I know some of you are here on lemmy, and I let me just say...
Ya'll doing alright? I've read recently about a lot of flooding in Hubei and Jingxi provinces, and despite how I may feel about the CCP and all, I want to make sure ya'll are good.
Taiwan #1
It's y'all
Don'cha be correctin' my gammar like some kinduv harvard elite!
Its ma dialect, y'ain't gonna tell me how t'contract n conjugate!
It's havahd. Ya putz.
Well looky there. The Georgia yankee tryin t'tell me howta pronounce his alma mader!
No shit.
Fuck the people whose work is to push government propaganda. Being a prostitute is more honest than that. You are doing humanity a disservice.
Weird jab at sex workers..
The prostitution comparison is completely out of left field. You're implying that sex workers are dishonest, which I don't see at all. The proposition of a sex worker is very upfront.
Lawyer, salesman, CEO, politician, or advertising exec would all be way better examples of dishonest professions.
You are all right. My comparison was quite unfortunate. I wanted to compare with something that some ppl tipically think its less honest. But i agree, i think prostitution/sex work is an honest field of work, much more honest than being a banker, politician nowadays.
What's at all dishonest about sex work?
You're literally showing your client your butthole, no secrets there
This is going to get easier and easier for states to do as AI becomes more common.
These headlines... These articles...
Of course it's happening. Who didn't think it was happening.
WOW, I'm really surprised by this revelation. 🙃
