Because the Fediverse is a great target for propaganda, which is invaluable for some authoritarian countries.
Lemmy is an echochamber with relatively limited, uncoordinated moderation. 1,000,000+ monthly active users, and lemmy.ml is a flagship instance.
It’s a bummer. I love the idea of the Fediverse but it’s having some propaganda growing pains.
Hard disagree, they’re here and able to operate relatively freely with no central admin fighting disinformation.
They’re not delusional, they’re paid.

I wonder what the hundreds of thousands burned alive for not being Christian would say to your comment.
If billions of people believed Santa Claus existed, and forced their beliefs on other people, wouldn’t you get sick of it?
Religion has killed many millions of people, standing up and calling it out for it’s lies and nonsense is the right thing to do.
I usually think of habits in terms of willpower. It’s just one perspective, which is focused on the development of positive habits and routines.
Willpower is like muscle. You can only use so much before you get tired and it stops working, and if you regularly use it eventually it will get stronger. So, the strength of a habit depends on how much willpower it takes to complete. If you go for a run every morning without even thinking about it, that’s a strong habit. If you do it regularly but have to drag yourself out of bed, it’s a weak habit.
Worth noting that a key to building habits is to work on one at a time until it takes very little willpower.
Fwiw your comments seem just fine

Happened in the US too. A NORAD computer basically said “they launched the nukes” but it was actually the moon.
The people at the top making these decisions don’t believe the propaganda.
You’re right, and additionally he can’t just decide to use them unilaterally. Launching those nukes would take a bunch of egotistical, self-centered sociopaths all deciding to commit suicide together.

It’s bigger than just Citizens United. That allows dark money to enter campaigns through super PACs that aren’t supposed to coordinate with candidates but absolutely do.
Even more concerning is malicious foreign actors using shills and bots to sway public opinion. An especially useful tool for authoritarian states that don’t have much oversight and want to erode democracies.
