That is absolutely a thing, influence agencies pose as part of a group to manipulate people, to make the whole group look bad, as agent provocateurs to justify actions against that group, and whatever else.

Anybody involved in the non-establishment choice for Democratic nominations should be well aware all social media is overrun with fake people pushing an agenda.

I am 100% sure many of the conservative aligned ones did so pushing Harris at her anointation because they knew they could beat her. The Establishment has their own obviously.

    I admit I have thoughts about the string of posters on .ml posting incredibly incendiary Stalin did nothing wrong type memes at liberals. If I was someone trying to get people who are starting to turn onto socialism turned off and to turn them away I'd hit them with exactly that kind of tone-deaf shit. If I was someone trying to get lemmy ml defederated from and isolated from the rest of the federiverse. Again I'd post tons of exactly that shit.

    If I were a communist trying to actually educate and knowing anything about my audience I wouldn't post incendiary memes like those these accounts are posting which I doubt convince anyone not already convinced and do a lot of work turning people off. Know where your audience is and post things that push the envelope a little but don't immediately trigger reflexive denial or dismissal.

    It annoys me they're allowed to operate unimpeded and I honestly wouldn't be shocked in the piefed devs or someone from MWoG anti-ML community or the world devs or someone in those circles was behind those accounts for obvious reasons.
