    I’d honestly like to know. Looking through their post histories, most of them aren’t FOSS geeks and are only active in politics threads.

    I hate to say shit like this, but it seems like the reddit astroturf campaigns have come to lemmy

      It costs the feds nothing to make an account there and post the exact same stuff they do to reddit. .world is probably completely astroturfed. Wouldn’t surprise me if their attempts to defed leftist instances is pushed heavily by the feds too.

        Lemmy is far too small for the feds to bother putting effort into destabilising it. It’s far more likely that .world is just a bunch of crybabys that dont like it when they’re not allowed to be xenophobic
