3½ years of anti-China & anti-Russia news posts by several similar Lemmy accounts - Lemmy
lemmy.ml
What they seem to have in common is: - Way more posts than comments. - Almost exclusively posting news articles. - The vast majority of the articles are critical of Russia or China. - Virtually always posting to the same few communities. Often there’s overlap in the communities the accounts target. - Consistent weekly output. | Username | Start | End | |-|-|-| | tardigrada@beehaw.org [https://beehaw.org/u/tardigrada@beehaw.org] | May 2022 | Dec. 2024 | | 0x815@feddit.de [https://lemmy.ml/u/0x815@feddit.de] | Apr. 2023 | Jun. 2024 | | thelucky8@beehaw.org [https://lemmy.ml/u/thelucky8@beehaw.org] | Apr. 2024 | Jan. 2025 | | 0x815@feddit.org [https://feddit.org/u/0x815@feddit.org] | Jun. 2024 | Dec. 2024 | | Anyone@slrpnk.net [https://slrpnk.net/u/Anyone@slrpnk.net] | Jan. 2025 | Apr. 2025 | | @randomname@scribe.disroot.org [/u/randomname@scribe.disroot.org] [https://scribe.disroot.org/u/randomname] | Jan. 2025 | – | | @Hotznplotzn@lemmy.sdf.org [/u/Hotznplotzn@lemmy.sdf.org] [https://lemmy.sdf.org/u/Hotznplotzn] | Jan. 2025 | – | | @Scotty@scribe.disroot.org [/u/Scotty@scribe.disroot.org] [https://scribe.disroot.org/u/Scotty] | Aug. 2025 | – | | @Sepia@mander.xyz [/u/Sepia@mander.xyz] [https://mander.xyz/u/Sepia] | Nov. 2025 | – | — FYI, @haui@lemmygrad.ml [/u/haui@lemmygrad.ml] [https://lemmygrad.ml/u/haui], you had this to say back in June on !europe@lemmy.dbzer0.com [/c/europe@lemmy.dbzer0.com] [https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/europe], before the post was removed by a mod: >OP is one of their propagandists from the looks of it.

Whether or not you consider it “disinfo,” doesn’t it smell rather like astroturf? Note that !europe@lemmy.dbzer0.com is one of the targeted communities.

    No.

    Yes.

    Also no.

    Also yes.

    Neither has a dictator. One has an oligarch installed by fellow oligarchs, just like the US & Canada do, while the other was democratically elected.

    Both have dictators, as is evident by their absolute or near-absolute hold on political power.

    One of them already has an actual democracy, while the other one has a bourgeois democracy, just like your country and mine do.

    One has mock elections, the other has one party. Neither are a democracy, fairing even worse than a representative “democracy”.

    How about we get our own houses in order? Or have you forgotten about their complicity in an actual, ongoing genocide in occupied Palestine?

    Fuck no. You can hold others to account while also holding yourself. We are capable of working on multiple things at once, we don’t have to solve poverty before we can tackle the climate and so on and so forth.

    You can deny the genocide all you want, but it is ongoing in Xinjiang and will be fully realised in Ukraine if Russia’s territorial annexation is completed.
