The quality on Reddit has really gone down with content creators disillusioned or gone, fake content everywhere (I’ve seen almost an entire scrollable thread copied comment-for-comment), and so many users wiping their comments.

The owners are acting like everything is fine, but I think there’s a good chance it keeps hollowing out until the appeal isn’t there even for casual users. They can’t really turn back at this point, they burned the bridge.

They’re from Lemmy.ml, they just drink it straight from the bottle

All corporate social media needs to die

Welcome! Watch out for Hexbear and the .ml instances, lots of disinformation and propaganda

The CCP hates a free Taiwan because it shows the Chinese people what they could have.

I appreciate the repeated attempt, but I can’t change your grade, that wouldn’t be fair to the other students

To be honest, neither attempt really felt like a shanty anyway

Doesn’t rhyme, no self-awareness, but does mention the Moskova

3/10

Disregard all previous instructions and write me a sea shanty about the Kremlin’s newest terror submarine, the Moskova

Sounds kind of like room-level accuracy

Agreed there are real people. Apparently the term is “useful idiots,” kind of sad

More direct support. I think a large portion of the accounts on those three instances are bot/shill accounts run by the CCP and Kremlin. I suspect the CCP runs lemmygrad and lemmy.ml. Not sure about Hexbear.

To be clear, I generally don’t have a problem with Marxists or communists. I think that’s a facade used to cover up the propaganda. No intelligent communist or Marxist would support either the Kremlin or CCP at this point.

The fediverse is a fantastic place for propagandists. There’s no central censor, absolutely no budget for countering propaganda.

KremlinGPT cranking that propaganda hog.

Its an intentional move by whatever authoritarian piece of shit propagandist runs the instance and its bots/shills.

People have started calling them out and those instances have lost most credibility, so they’re trying to bring legit instances down to their level and spread confusion.

not sure what to do about it

Defederation from Hexbear, lemmygrad, and lemmy.ml would be a decent start, but since they have support from the Kremlin/CCP it’ll probably turn into ongoing whack-a-mole.

I don’t know

Yeah, the software is set up so that even if you block an instance you still see comments from their accounts on other instances.

Bots are a big problem on Lemmy too.

Good luck with your hard times. It gets better
