Soon after I joined Lemmy a few years ago, I searched for communities based on my interests and subscribed to the ones with the highest numbers of users to ensure they are active. Sometimes I joined multiple, but then saw that some people post the same thing to more than one, cluttering my feed, so I left the smaller ones.

It's only after my community ban from !games@hexbear.net for disagreeing about Ukraine that I was told about MeanwhileOnGrad, learning exactly what "the tankie triad" means and why big Lemmy instances have defederated from those. Lemmy.ml, where the ML probably stands for Marxist-Leninist, seems to have been defederated by fewer, possibly because it's run by the creator of Lemmy, Dessalines. Nevertheless, there is evidence of Dessalines holding the same authoritarian communist views as the rest.

Recently, there were two posts on !privacy@lemmy.ml about Signal, but then in both cases, admin davel (who is known on MoG for seeing CIA's hand in running Ukraine, among other things) and Dessalines linked (1, 2, 3) the same article by Dessalines, which not only argues Signal could be a CIA honeypot (as if it matters when proper e2ee is used), but also manages to shoehorn China even into that, claiming its government "prefers autonomy". This sort of portrayal of totalitarianism as sovereignty is the reason I unsubscribed from the community. As it has been said by others, ML is not a neutral instance but a means of pushing authoritarian views onto unsuspecting users.

Care to elaborate on that?

that’s Blue MAGA tinfoil hat BS

No it isn't. It's well understood how much bots influenced the US elections. And they favored trump by a long shot.

. It’s well understood

That's is wording like "it is believed" "souces say" etc.. the regime press uses to spout baseless garbage.
I will take facts and evidence, thank you.

Am I supposed to watch that video?

Is 4:55 too long for your little attention span or do you prefer keeping your head in the sand?

And what am I supposed to do with this debunked garbage offering zero proof?

Besides, from what I understood from the following facts:

Having a literal (proxy) war with Russia and supporting it for 2 terms non-stop
Unilaterally breaking the missile treaties
Pirating Russian civilian ships
Sanctioning Russia
And plenty more

I could get the wrong impression the little conspiracy theory of Trump being a Russia agent doesn't hold up and is indeed an invention by one ass cheeck of the warmongering imperialist Uniparty forever in charge of the banana republic.
Or he must hiding it well be because he's super duper smart.

I'll take facts and evidence over random youtube links, thanks.

I didn't say trump was a russian agent but I guess if you want to be right you have to insert some things to disagree with.

So you refuse to look at the FACTS in the video and indeed want to keep your head in the sand.
Definitely look up the info mentioned in the video or the clip where he compares muslims to cockroaches and shoots them.

Or maybe I'll just find a video claiming that collusion or that the sun rises in the east and childishly say it's wrong because it's on YT.
You have great standards.
