Be vigilant, it's already happening here; bots and obvious state-funded trolls are in the comments.

Read the comments in the Canada community on Lemmy World.

We are talking about comments that are so obviously meant to provoke, stuff like "Your province never cared for you" instead of "man, I wish our government cared for us". This is an example of reading voice, but there are plenty of examples where the information is too well-formatted or has the signs of being crafted by an LLM.

There are lots of tells, but by now it should occur to us that Canadians are being fed one line of bs, Americans another, eu yet another. All meant to divide us and put us at each others' throats.

And at this point, it should be plain that information warfare is here to stay, so it doesn't matter who is behind it now, because it will be someone else in a year or two.

this is speculative

edit: and non-falsifiable

double edit: interestingly, your entire line of discussion helps achieve the exact division you are proposing is the goal of the propagandists you insist are operating here.

Which part is speculative?

You are trying to derive proof from "lack of proof", with which I unfortunately can't help, Senator McCarthy.

What are you trying to signal by denying my claim that there are bots and trolls among the comments?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

you are making a positive claim (propagandists are prevalent on Lemmy), but you have no proof. while, of course, an absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, what you are doing achieves the exact thing younclaim the propagandists want: creating division in our communities.

Senator McCarthy

there is some high irony here, considering who is stirring up a witch hunt.
