Dude figured out how the ‘Hot’ sorting algorithm works, and thinks he’s uncovered a conspiracy. LoL.
That's actually, in all seriousness, a really good point. I think it's "Active" that works that way, not "Hot," but I get your point. It still doesn't explain why they're all top-level comments, or why there was a sudden rush of new ones all with similar totally bizarre lazy takes, like "Trump loves expanding the US empire and doing the bidding of the US foreign-policy establishment."
It's so cool watching conspiratorial thinking consume every level of society.
The russians are highly invested in swaying the tens of people on lemmy, theyre watching this post like a hawk.
To be fair, there’s definitely astroturf and propaganda accounts/bots on here. They don’t set those propaganda budgets up for nothing.
But accusing every single criticism of US foreign policy of being a foreign bot just makes me think that account is a domestic bot. Or a deeply propagandized individual.
