Yeah, you're not wrong. There has been quite the explosion of fresh accounts. Which surprises me, because you would think Lemmy isn't a big enough target to be worth the effort. Maybe it's just a form of professional pride to be a completionist
It is likely the primary driver of all the stalkerware data mining nonsense. Targeting independent thought to drown out any kind of reasonable discussion is a viable strategy. Academics, early adopters, and eccentrics are some of the most dangerous to a corrupt establishment. It only takes one or a few of the most brilliant devs to change the world. One of the primary strategies is content fatigue by the time of the election too.
