Lemmy is neither popular nor heavily advertised, so people join at a slow rate
On the other hand, the amount political discussions, Hexbear, and lack of content result in disinterested people leaving Lemmy and joining Reddit
So the user count is decreasing because Reddit refugees are leaving faster than new people are joining
If that's not your jam go to your ad filled corpo hellscape and talk to bots ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Jesus with the projection.
Uh, I don't think many commies think of themselves as future millionaires? Or at least in the conventional sense
Lemmy is whatever we make it, except for the communism posts that love communism until they realize workers need representation. I half believe those are Chinese bots or high school kids who are stupid enough to believe the Chinese bots.
You may wanna try a different instance if all that is getting to you
Or just block some communities
Got new for you champ China doesn't gaf about communism... and they sure as fuck don't care enough to deploy bots on lemmy... The fediverse maybe...
Right. Magically, everyone on the Internet has become infatuated with communism out of thin air over the last few years. Must just be my paranoia to surggest influence from a hostile government.

How do you account for the vast amount of anti-CPC Communists, Socialists, and Anarchists, if this "influence from a hostile government" is so effective? Might it be simpler to see that Capitalism's increasing failure has driven more people in developed countries towards radicalization, especially as generations are further removed from the Red Scare?
Homie did you repress COVID? Anyone that wasn't removed about wearing a mask was discussing why this system isn't working for them. Sorry you weren't invited to the discussion.
While all of this is great for Russia doing this.
Is there any evidence China does?
Yes. I have posted these links multiple times now.

Also the fifty cent party a Chinese troll farm based entirely on spreading propaganda for the ccp

This took me 5 seconds of research. If were being passive aggressive here ive gotta say. are you sure you didn't get dropped on the head as a baby or eat copious amounts of lead
Haha naw I just kind wanted some one to post this information.
Honestly I still don't think there's much to gain from influencing lemmy users. But I know it's a game of attrition you have to do it everywhere on as many social networks as possible to cast the widest net.
I don't believe there are any states trying to influence. Lemmy although you just can't be certain these days. I do think it's possible lemmys the perfect breeding ground for propoganda especially considering a good chunk say 40% of lemmy are tankies
tankies is a term to decribe someone whom holds marxist/stalinist/Communist politcal viewsand are very suspectible to propoganda.If people left Reddit and then went back, then they are just proving to spez that they are the addicts he thinks they are and is counting on abusing. No thanks. Fuck Reddit.
Reddit has actually gotten a lot better since the Exodus. All the political activists have come here.
Just wait for the US election season to get into full swing. It'll become a steaming pile again.
Highly doubt that. Youโve probably just gotten better at curating your subs. Fediverse has been a vastly superior experience for me either way.
There's no more r/ENLIGHTENEDCENTRISM?
