I don't know what their deal is exactly (and they clearly have an agenda), but do you really think Lemmy is big enough to be a target for paid actors?
Send people to all corners of the Internet to sow your pro-Russian stance. And if not paid, I would say a Putin fan, someone being threatened by the Russian government, or just a troll. Take your pick. All are possible.
I think Putin is horrible, I never said otherwise, not a fan. And a troll doesn't post sources, you however are a troll. You just call everyone who critiques NATO a Russian bot. You are either a troll or completly insane
Never called you a bot.
You have no link to a source in the thread I was replying to.
Anyone who looks at the things Putin has done in the last two years and thinks that NATO is worse is the one who is insane.
Targeting a smaller, receptive audience is actually better than going after larger and more diverse ones. With the later you're more likely to get called out for your bullshit.
The former is more likely to listen, and a small echo-chamber will eliminate dissidents. That relatively small core group will gladly modify the message to better appeal to the local/culture they belong to, and spread it wide-and-far while obscuring the original source.
It's a highly effective strategy: look at Qanon. It started on 8chan of all places, with a tiny userbase behind it.
Of course no one is paid to post on lemmy, this person is a lunatic that thinks anyone who critisizes their own government must be a Russian spy.
