Why am I seeing a post from lemmy.ml? I have it blocked. Anyone know a way to actually block it?

Thanks, I hadn’t heard of them. Thought this was interesting:

Authors of a paper published in 2017 in the American Political Science Review estimate that the Chinese government fabricates 488 million social media posts per year.

Now with increased focus on social media and LLMs I’d be surprised if it isn’t well into the billions.

Vs you from lemmy.ml who’s just here to spread lies.

I still see their comments all the time and they still upvote their propaganda on other instances.

I blocked Hexbear and they made accounts on lemmy.ml. if I block lemmy.ml they’ll just make accounts somewhere else. We need to collectively become aware of the problem and deal with it together.

Some of them yes, absolutely.

They’re not just some losers sitting on their mom’s basements, they’re paid or programmed to spread disinformation and division.

I tag propaganda accounts all the time using Boost and Connect. Connect is FOSS, Boost was a Reddit app. You really do notice patterns.

They’re paid/programmed to do what they do.

Enshittification also happens because of government propaganda, like the authoritarian propaganda Lemmy.ml spreads for the CCP.

Hard disagree. I’m already spending less time here because the Kremlin and CCP propaganda ruins the experience for me. I don’t even consider recommending it to people I know for the same reason.

Yeah… OP is blind to the massive Kremlin and CCP propaganda problem here in the Fediverse.

Seeing some high quality piss posts here recently O7
