As the title suggests, over the last couple of days there’s been an influx of doomer comments over the SKG petition. While it’s fine to disagree, I’m finding it suspicious that there weren’t comments like this posted a week or 2 ago

    Lemmy is way too small and insignificant for Industry Plants to be posting on here about SKG, if that is what you are implying.

      Lemmy has 100k users and, more importantly, almost zero countermeasures against botting and influence ops. It would not be some huge undertaking to target this place.

      Lol you are funny. Propaganda doesn’t come here!

      Industry shills will show up on a obscure message board that only a handful of people have ever seen. They are everywhere, they are here.

        It’s so stupid to think that small message boards are spared; small boards are where they infest with the most enthusiasm; you infiltrate a hundred small boards, one grows into the mainstream and now you have a socmed in your control.

        People have opinions. No everyone disagreeing with one opinion or other is a paid actor.

        I’m all for SKG. I signed it. And I haven’t actually seen much criticism at all here. But if someone were to disagree I won’t automatically think it’s a paid actor, probably just a person with an opinion.

      The smaller a community is, the more influence you have. Propaganda here is much more effective than on Reddit
