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?

    Is this an organized disinformation campaign???

    YES, and has been since at least 2016 if not earlier, via BRICS bots. Bots btw are slaves, not robots per se, NPR did a planet money episode on this. They have huge slave networks to scam money and misinform people (also to scam money from but at govt scale, get blackmail). These are massive online slave armies, just like the North Korean men and Russian prisoners fighting in Ukraine are part of a slave army.

      It’s all true: my state-affiliated propaganda outlet said so!

      The US spends hundreds of millions on disinformation campaigns each year[1], and it working… on you.
