Russian influence operations expand to BlueSky

Wouldn’t want to be getting any criticism in your feed of an authoritarian far-right dictatorship, now would we? Can’t have these tankies calling for elections or banning Nazi symbols!

I wonder if they'll ever notice this place. Like. Before a big election or something.

you know public bluesky blocklist is very effective to counter those kind of thing right?

[moe90@feddit.nl]

it is normal because the platform is growing and then BSKY public blocklist will be bigger to counter this.

It’s funny that I can interpret this in every way possible. Yes, I prefer to be able to be critical of US or Russia on my social media without getting downranked. Yes, I’m for free elections in Belarus. I’d be for banning nazi symbols but they’re banned where I live already.

That's how you know you've made it in social media

[surph_ninja@lemmy.world]

Haven’t you heard? When Ukrainians declare themselves Nazis, cover themselves in Nazi patches, and refuse to hold elections, it’s “complicated” and we’re not allowed to talk about it.

apparently, after a recent thread on lemmy and some reading, dorsey left bluesky some time ago

The nuclear block makes it a fools errand

He quit and Mike Masnick, of Techdirt fame, replaced him which is a good upgrade.

Unfortunately, they still have Aaron Rodericks on trust and safety, who's cozy with Singal.

Unfortunately every countries military has nationalistic fascists, some of which use Nazi iconography to display their "pride". I could find the 1940 Swedish general election (not at war), 1942 Icelandic parliamentary election (occupied by USA), 1943 & 1944 Irish general elections (not at war) as the elections held between Sep 1939 & Sep 1945, the other democratic European country's I reviewed, elections were either postponed or went uncontested.

Is every country erecting monuments to or naming streets after famous Nazis?

[realitista@lemm.ee]

I'm subscribed to block lists and at least what I see looks pretty bot free.

[devorlon@lemmy.zip]

Yes

I swear they're already here. We got a couple stubborn conservative plants doing nothing but posting disinfo day in and day out. The mods of [email protected] are particularly sus.

[aphonefriend@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

At this point, just do it. Humanity needs a reset anyway.
