Lemmy has it's share of trolls, but we also have our share of russian propaganda trying to influence our election. This specific moderator of a very large Lemmy community (LateStageCapitalism) has been posting "democrats are actually the fascists!" memes, while banning/censoring everyone who speaks out in favor of the very people attempting to thwart the literal fascist regime in power right now.

Alright, this is just turning into a mud-slinging festival and I have other things to do today rather than babysit my mod reports. I'm shutting this down. Relax, you lot.

[-] neverslop@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

https://reddit.com/r/suppressed_news/ is a great example of Russian propaganda. They claim they post "both sides" but ban you for pointing out that every post there supports Russia and denounces Ukraine.

In case anyone wanted an example.

This is what these pieces of shit are doing. And to add, they remove everything they disagree with, despise it not violating their rules. It’s a psyop communist that needs to be banned.

I’m all about free speech, but abusing the rules of the instance to silence others is not free speech. They’re just a hate group at this point.

Yeah I had two of these posts in a row pop up on my all feed, by the same user on the same instance. I said "putting in overtime a month before the election, I see."

[-] 4am@lemmy.zip 39 points 1 day ago

Yeah I got a comment deleted from there which was about not letting Trump win and they were like “See Rules 3 and 4 liberalism is not allowed” or something to that effect

Listen I’m sick of the feckless democrats as well; but if the only options are them or the fascists I’m not fucking voting for the fascists

The next two elections, these mid-terms and the next presidential election, are probably the most important in our young nations history. We can absolutely still make a difference through voting, voter outreach, and community organizing. Any doomer posts designed to dissuade action and voting just screams of the same interference we've come to expect from russia and their allies.

I won't turn a blind eye while my beloved Lemmy becomes inundated with power-abusing trolls trying to quash dissent to their lame efforts at manipulation.

For now, being banned from that instance is a badge of honor and intelligence. Congrats!

Lemmy is a big propaganda outlet for Russia. I’ve been banned from hexbear and .ml for pointing out the obvious bullshit. They even upvoted me after I congratulated them on Trump’s second term.

[-] architect@thelemmy.club 5 points 1 day ago

Not surprising. They took over the Reddit sub over ten years ago.

[-] CombatWombat@feddit.online 60 points 1 day ago

As always, the best solution is to create a new LateStageCapitalism community on another instance with a moderation policy that better matches your expectations (not to discourage PSAs like this, just like, as a next step).

[-] daannii@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago

I second this. And im also banned from that community because I said some post was nonsense and explained the difference between socialism and capitalism and that's how that went.

There are plenty of things to discuss under the topic of late stage capitalism. So just make a new community for it. I'll subscribe.

Boycott such communities.

[-] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

Gotta love their sidebar and their mods. No "Lessor" evil rhetoric... On a post specifically about voting for the lesser evil.

Yeah, it's a fucking joke sub run by trolls and clowns. Real shame because late stage capitalism is definitely something we're up against and should call attention to on the regular.

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 49 points 1 day ago

It’s disgusting how tankies dunk on the No Kings protests.

[-] 4am@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 day ago

And then go “how come the Americans aren’t doing anything”

Listen we’re trying not to get drone strikes

Our government will drone strike us. They will blame Obama because he did it first, which was fucked up but that doesn’t mean it’s ok now. But have you seen the shitbags running this place? They just fire into cars with kids. Cars 4 Kids used to just funnel money to West Bank settlers, now Kars are definitely not for kids.

In what reality would someone think that deleting every top level comment that obviously disagrees with the post is a good look...on top of the post being "Let's not vote and let all the people who do vote decide who runs everything. That'll show 'em!"

[-] Wataba@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 day ago

LSC was bonkers idiotic on reddit, its no different here.

[-] Randelung@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Blocked the mod this afternoon, guess that'll take care of most of the community's posts, too. It's obvious anti voting propaganda, and dissenting opinions are disallowed.

They were active during the 2024 election too

[-] Fizz 15 points 1 day ago

It's crazy that they are allowed alt accounts on. World and to run propaganda communities.

I was banned by GodlessCommie just the other day after I caught him admitting he isn't American.

[-] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

I mean... Is it a crime not to be an American (on lemmy)?

Very strange though. I had a commenter there tell me they were going to bed but it was okay because they were studying abroad.

I was like "anyone can read the news and form an opinion, I don't think your nationality or timezone invalidates it."

I thought it was strange to even bring it up,

[-] Schmoo@slrpnk.net 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Did they ever claim to be, McCarthy?

[-] phailhaus@piefed.social 10 points 1 day ago

Of course Davel is all over that thread defending him.

[-] Pratai@piefed.ca 7 points 1 day ago

Dude’s the biggest piece of shit on lemmy. And probably the most embarrassing example of a human I’ve encountered to be honest.
