Russian influence operations expand to BlueSky

the us knew what it was doing and ukraine has learned a hard lesson about having america as an ally. i didn't know how aggressively hivemind it was around here, its a little more like reddit than one would hope... 90 downvotes, that's like half the community
give or take a few bots, i'm sure. -
this community is a psy op
hang in there -
i was hoping for a purified echo chamber because that's clearly what this world needs more of.

The problem of platforms when they become big. Just like cyber criminals lurk on systems used by the mass to exploit. Things can be used for good and for bad. And its often the small portion of bad that ruins it for large majority. Just like the few hooligans that screw things up for the rest.
Bad intend or behavior is just hard to manage in a free online world. If Elon is hated then Adrian will take over....

who wants thoughts and prayers.. you want people to observe some fake decorum and misrepresent themselves? are you familiar with nato and previous agreements that russia laid out time and again was a red line not to cross with regard to expansion into ukraine?
-
this place feels more like reddit everyday... western colonial echo chamber masquerading as 'the good guys'
-
Ukraine didn't even want to join NATO. Before the invasion, that is. Also Russia doesn't get to tell other countries which alliances it can and cannot join, what are you, an imperialist or something?
-
U can have it bro.
Russian behavior in Ukraine is actually very nice -
sorry if the truth conflicts with your 'reality'

You are literally reading EU state propaganda in this very post, an article by "kyivinsider" sourcing its information from "alliance4europe", funded by the European Parliament and the Polish International Affairs ministry among others (according to its own website, feel free to check the link inside the article).
That doesn't mean that it's fake news or anything, the report is most likely true, just that it's really ironic that we're consuming state propaganda designed to make us worried about state propaganda from other "evil" countries (unlike our glorious EU parliament, not on a fascist downward spiral at all)
-
Keep in mind that state propaganda doesn't equate misinformation. This very article is western state propaganda ("kyivinsider" using "alliance4europe" as a source for the article), and the report is most likely true. You don't need to strictly lie or misinform to create state propaganda, you just need to propagate your talking points and direct the public discourse to given topics. We're very concerned about Russian propaganda (and rightfully so) but, fuck, we've been literally supporting a genocide and all the state propaganda from our own western countries was directing ourselves in other direction, maybe we should worry about that too. We're literally consuming state propaganda right now in this article.
-
Honestly, props to you for fleeing the US while you could, the genocidal empire is on a spiral to fascism. May I ask where you've decided to move?

Wikipedia, according to itself, isn't a reliable source when it comes to such internationally hot topics. It's primarily written by western young men who are mostly exposed exclusively to western media, and the articles they write are referenced by this same media. If you wanna read a bit more on this, I did a writeup some weeks ago about this very topic, sourcing my information from wikipedia itself.
With this I don't mean to say that the accusations you're showing are false, I honestly don't have enough information to confirm or deny it, but in times of war information is a powerful tool and media from both sides won't doubt to distort information to benefit their own countries.
-
You are commenting in a post linking to "kyivinsider", whose article sources its information from "alliance4europe", this is literally state propaganda. I don't mean to say it's disinformation because the content of the article is probably true, but this is evidence that state propaganda is already rampant in Lemmy and we should be aware of it.

Just curious. Would you support a civil war in now openly fascist USA (see support of genocide and nazi salutes in presidential inauguration)? I don't support civil war in either because that's a horrifying outcome for the population of both.
