Lots of suspicious comments in this thread. Seems like political astro-turfing has already arrived on Lemmy

We have a lot of pro empire shills here after the reddit migration.

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.

agenda pushing is when people have an opinion that doesn't align with my own

No it's when there's mysteriously dozens of comments just magically showing up that are contrary to the vastly popular opinion on only one contentious issue, that serve the best interests of an entity with the time, resources to try to sway public opinion through fake grassroots posting. Also that entity has a fragile ego and a long history of online manipulation.......oh and also coincidentally they are all coming from the same server

lol, so your issue is that people with similar opinions happen to be on the same server? truly the most obvious evidence of agenda pushing!

I love how liberals think anybody who's outside of their echo chamber must be a paid shill. It's absolutely inconceivable to them that there is a significant amount of people who have contrary opinions.

Vastly popular opinion held by whom?

Anyone with half a brain can see what's going on. I'm not playing these silly obfuscation games. You're bad at what you do.

Yes, anybody with half a brain can see that you have paranoid delusions.
