Mainstream US news backsliding on the Ukraine war narrative is pretty newsworthy.

Its probably even worse than random bootlickers.
The FBI has been warning us for literally years now about Russian agents using social media platforms to spread misinformation. Few take their warnings seriously. Fewer still realize that some of the very people they might interact with online could be Russian or Chinese agents actively spreading lies and propaganda.
There have been “bad actors” back on Reddit for years now, it looks like Lemmy is starting to get an influx of these people now that this site has gained more traffic.
I don’t think Lemmy has the means to stop this though. Can they ban these “bad actors”? Can they take down propaganda posts? I honestly have no idea because on the one hand, Lemmy seems to pride itself on free expression, but these agents abuse that privilege to spread lies and hide behind the ideas of “free speech” like cowards. Lemmy needs to set up rules now before the US election goes into full swing and we get inundated with this shit.
EDIT:
LOL it gets better. I decided to click on OP’s history and he had a post on how Biden is supposedly anti-LGBT. Yeah 100% confirmed Russian agent trying to get Trump elected by weakening the Left’s support for Democrats.
Not everyone on the internet is a man, stop assuming it is the default, it is straight up sexist and you’re going to end up misgendering a lot of people.
Biden is anti-lgbt in meaningful ways. Well respected trans activists have been talking about it for a while, and the internet censorship bill is just the most recent problem. Should lgbtq people not be allowed to criticize democrats hurting their community because it might help the even worse opposition? What gives you the expertise to say what is best for us?
The idea that I’m a Russian agent is incredibly conspiracy brained, and calling people you disagree with Russian agents seems a great way to avoid growing as a person.
