This is what a bot farm looks like

aka this is who you’re arguing with online.

This is what a lot of Lemmy traffic comes from.

Giving helpful instructions is not among the activities bot farms are involved with.

There's more phones on that rack than active Lemmy accounts

How is it used? Are they remotely controlled by computer somehow or do they need someone going from phone to phone, putting stuff in manually?

Low wage employees go over the boards of phones all day

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago

Things phones and humans have in common in Asia: they're very cheap to procure.

It is sad, and heartbreaking, and true.

How much is a lot in this context?

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Stick around long enough and pay attention and you’ll see.

Things relating to: Israel, Gaza, discussions of capitalism, “east” vs “west”, USA imperialism, the Uyghur Genocide, the genocide of the Palestinian people, the cultural revolution, great leap, Soviets, etc

^ suddenly there are a lot more people on Lemmy when these topics come up. Voting is transparent.

I wish we could locally delete votes from specific instances with our clients.

Lemmy is almost designed to be able to be astroturded.

Do you really believe, that lemmy is big enough for them to care?
