Taiwan reports second large-scale China air force incursion this week
You're viewing a single thread.
Lots of suspicious comments in this thread. Seems like political astro-turfing has already arrived on Lemmy
Unfortunately they're probably real people. Most of Lemmy was full of tankies before the reddit migration so any post involving China or Russia brings them out in force.
It's like porn to them
lemmygrads leaking, i guess
Well, I must admit that things are starting to get interesting in the comments section.
Don't forget to collect your college credits on the way out!
Yes very interesting what things people will place in their anus
You mean the ones from hexbear aka lemmygrad-lite?
Possibly, I didn't look where they're all from, nor do I know what hexbear is or why it's significant. Sounds like some kind of intra-Lemmy drama which I'm not too interested in. Just noticed a fair amount, lets say........not totally organic, seemingly agenda pushing comments.
Edit: Forget my previous comment. I now see the problem with Hexbear.
I made an account with lemmy.world and I don't see them anymore.
Bout to do the same
I know right! How come there are so, so many people defending China here? I thought they were the minority. Ugh. When I was back on Reddit comments like those would always be downvoted to hell.
The issue is there are a much higher percentage here because brigading wasn't allowed on reddit so they'd be banned for this type of activity. They come here and can do what they want, which is fine as long as it doesn't hurt other people doing what they want, which in this case is arguably happening because it clutters the comments with the same thing repeated over and over, and they are organized so it's all up voted. This doesn't make them the majority opinion though. It makes them the organized opinion. They are not the majority by any means, but they will make sure to come to China's defence whenever it's mentioned, where others won't bother.
Yeah! It's kind of sketchy how most hexbear.net comments here have >10 upvotes
edit: it's also sketchy that over 95% of comments on this post are from hexbear.net, while on the average Lemmy post (not on lemmy.world) there would only be less than 20%
Yea, it feels like 4chan suddenly saw the light and then turned far-left all at once. They act like what the far right imagines the left to be like, but just looks like really bad anti-leftist propaganda, or they're just tankies :/ some hexbears are ok, though, but most here are just discrediting themselves by throwing the propaganda handbook at the passersby.

Exactly this. They're running around spewing barely-sensical insults acting like they're dunking on people, but all their really doing is turning off anyone who was ever possibly sympathetic to their cause. And are completely un-informed on top of that
China is the high-water mark of human governance!!
Almost. Cuba is better but China's close behind.
