Hey Muricans, this is what you wanted and voted for (or could't be bother voting to prevent)... enjoy
or, hit the streets and remove the fascist gov you elected
I feel like the overlap of fediverse users and trump voters is close to 0
Yeah but there are a bunch of "I'm going to not vote to 'send a message'! who cares if that makes the nazis win?" types
I wonder how many of those were Russian bots
Previously I thought almost all of them were, but then I found out that someone I've known for years hold that view. Any mention that maybe voting for the democrats would be a good idea results in an angry speech about genocide; which somehow (I'm not sure how) even has them lean towards Trump.
I appreciate the staunch opposition to genocide. But its kind of weird to see someone take a single issue so strongly to heart that their reasoning ends up inverted such that the candidate they favour is worse even on their one issue.
Yeah, that's totally fair. I mean, I guess it's just a bot once removed, bots influencing your friend to swing to fascism
I don't think Lemmy was really big enough to have THAT many bots. And at least of the ones I saw, if they were bots they're doing an incredibly good job of making them blend, since many had a history of generally normal commenting before that time, and have continued posting normally since.
That's very true. Bots once/twice removed? Like bots influencing the people posting here?
I can't imagine you get to that conclusion alone
That reminds me, I wonder what @Linkerbaan@lemmy.world is up to these days.
Paging @linkerbaan@lemmy.ml.
8000 comments in 9 months, dead silent shortly after the election. (World, .ml is more active now)
Jesus.
