This can't be real
This is not real and does not belong in “World News”
It is posted by and primarily upvoted by .ml users.
Don’t fall for their bullshit.
Looking further into it you can see that almost every post in “World News” is from .ml users. They are very anti-western everything but post western “news” heavily in communities. I wonder why?
Furthermore they are brigading comments in this thread. Don’t believe me, just look at the upvote/downvote activity for comments here.
It turns out that—as usual—it is real.
!worldnews@lemmy.ml is a lemmy.ml community. Why wouldn’t we be posting and voting in our own community on our own instance?
“The reason I use western sources when possible is because those are the only sources that western liberals tend to accept.”
Yes, we’re “brigading” our own community on our own instance 🙄
On a related note, how is your vote manipulation report coming along[1][2]? Given your trivially disprovable accusations here, I predict it will be more of the same.
It will never not be funny that these people care so much about fake internet points, and think other people care about those internet points enough to ??? follow them around and downvote them?? Downvote lots of comments at once?? In a way that is somehow different from normal browsing behavior??
Like they're not even tallied here like they are in the bad place, I genuinely don't get it. Please drop the word bRiGaDiNg from your lexicon, I promise that absolutely nothing will change except you'll be slightly less online and much better off for it. Sometimes you will get downvoted, and that's okay. The world is not out to get you, even if it has a scary .ml next to its name and practices obscure forms of witchcraft like dialectical materialism.
