It’s so much easier to take someone at their word instead of looking into the many interwoven facts and details yourself. In fact, it can take so long fact-checking things these days to combat mis/disinformation that people simply… don’t.
It’s way more laborious to disprove a lie than it is to simply recount a lie.
Russia may not have a decent military, or a decent government, but they are masters at controlling other countries public opinions.
I had a comment removed a few days ago because Lemmy has an automod which accused me of being ablist. In reality I was responding to a comment that was trying to push the narrative that Ukraine started the war, and is responsible for the war. It went on to say many MANY more completely untrue things, but definately tried painting russia as the good guy. I basically accused him of being brain dead, with a word that the automod didn’t like.
But I’m pretty convinced they were a russian disinformation agent.
Medical term, used to describe a partially or fully non-functioning brain. In the 80s and 90s it became slang for “idiot”, and somehow became a politically incorrect term. Now people are offended by term. Starts with R.
It is. It’s probably exactly what hou think. But bots don’t care, and AI is too primitive to be useful. Yet thats what moderation is sometimes. Especially on reddit.

I wanna know what word you used…

If it’s what I think it is that’s pretty mild…
