      I’m not unconvinced that the whole leftist presence on that federated side of Lemmy is a psyop.

      My bet is on troll factory workers slinging ideas around to see what and who sticks, and then they continue to sling ideas with their growing group. That was what the early days strategy of The_Donald on reddit were.

      It doesn’t matter that lemmy is relatively unimportant, what matters to them is having a testbed for what is and isn’t sticking along with growing a crowd of supporters they might be able to take elsewhere where it matters.

      They tried to pretend Lemmy was just software and call “their platform” Haxbear, in some sad attempt to culture-roll Lemmy itself.

      Not a really square plan when 90% of the user base are leftist socialist code-monkies.

      They should rename Haxbear to “Rekt Center”.
