    We should form our own propaganda. Not as a counterpoint, but as part of a wider fediverse identity.

    But to successfully do this without being grouped together with one of the more mainstream platforms, it will have to be one so far removed from established axis’ of alignments:

    • Impossible to place on left vs right.
    • Impossible to compared with authoritarianism vs democracy
    • Cannot be tied to a specific geopolitical agenda
    • cannot align with a specific country’s interests

    How about this: “Sasquatch did 9/11 to distract us from the fact that Big Farming puts nutrients in our food, and the Dutch lgbtq communities are the only one who can save us”

    The masses will always be attracted to the opiates offered them by those seeking to control them for greedy purposes.

    From my time on Lemmy. There seems to be a lot of American propaganda on here from people.

      Sometimes I don’t know if it’s propaganda or some inferiority complex because I’ve seen some propaganda from my country (MX) and if I try to go against it I get downvoted constantly (a lot less since I joined an instance that blocked ml, grad and hex) by people adamant into telling me how they lived here for a while, they have family here or how I am ignorant about that country, like… Bitch, everyone in my family has lived here for 3 generations at least, don’t come here to tell me how things work when I have to deal with the consequences of a kakistocracy that keeps shitting on everything.
      A lot of the fediverse users just have to be right when it comes to politics… And vaping, don’t you dare have questions or doubts about vaping because they get mad.

        i really doubt any major organizations are paying for bots, at least not on lemmy. we’re just not big enough methinks
        if there are any it’s probably a smaller operation done by a few people max.

          I think we just have a surprising amount of political staffers in Lemmy. The bulk does seem to be wealthy people living in suburbs. Look at how the biggest groups are people self hosting thousands and thousands of dollars of equipment.

            Surprising amount of political staffers… As if that is a class of people. Those people are normies and not tech savvy. They’re all workaholics too so most of them probably only used LinkedIn for social media.

            Your idea that people who self-host somehow equals political staffers is just asinine. There’s literally no overlap.

          You tend to have very extreme views, which sometimes get heavily downvoted. It’s convenient for you to blame that on “American indoctrination.”

          And as you say, Lemmy is too small. So maybe it’s just that a lot of people here do not agree with your views.

            Even for people, who are not Leninist/Stalinist or similar, it is noticeable.

            From my perspective (being not from the US) us-american arrogance is very present on lemmy.

            Those aren’t mutually exclusive; “American indoctrination.” is the reason so many lemmitors disagree with such extreme views as “sending weapons that prolong war is bad for the people who will suffer the effects of those weapons, mostly civilians”, “supporting al-nusra is bad”, “we shouldn’t put tariffs on EVs and solar panels”, or “the chinese government having your data is less of a threat to you than the american government having your data”

    We already have American censorship on the top ones, which will get worse once Project 2025 is enacted…

    Not that lemmy isnt free, but just about every instance aside from .world is very left wing, and even here on world just about everyone hates right leaning people.

    That being said, you should look up the election posters of the German „die partei”. Their posters, especially the ones regarding Nazis, really vibes with me
