Not nothing, and Lemmy is larger than most forums. But yeah, I think that what we see on here is almost entirely useful idiots buying into the talking points of such propaganda and troll farms, and then willingly spreading it of their own accord, rather than being actual paid actors themselves.

Blocking them just cedes the floor to them. It's not silencing them, it's plugging your own ears.

But then I'd miss watching them lose their shit and get banned from their own instance.
