No no, was just explaining why I'm looking at your older posts/proving it/hinting to others. I like some of your posts that were memorable after a glance through. I just block obvious psychological ops junk when I suspect it might be. It is easier to spot them now when they just get hired or lack better fine tuning. Closer to the election in the USA it will only get worse and harder to spot ;)
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.
