Russia is not using its own datacenters for fedi when they have unpaid western interns to do it for free.
They're here. Not in the numbers reddit used to have, but they're here. Occasionally we get a good one too. If you find yourself being argued with unreasonably, there's a good chance that's a russian troll. They have a scent.
I immediately went to check that “SaltyAmerican” guy that often gets in my “All” feed and latest post was week ago. 🗿
Nothing gives away a Russian troll posing as an American person like trying really hard to emphasize their “Americanness” - with those “as an American”/“we Americans”.
There's another obnoxious troll that's similar to yours that is so bad at it, I'm pretty sure he's an american.
Who's this guy? Sounds like a fun read
They had a lot of posts on “Late Stage Capitalism” community, and I suspect that community as a whole may probably be run by Russian trolls. Simply because of a contrast with other lefty communities - like you can have civil conversations in most places, and in there it’s just a perpetual hate boner machine, that just wants to get you upset and angry.

Definitely not American if they use the west unironically
They've taken over the Late Stage Capitalism community and have started banning comments that say voting against the GOP is a good thing.
They definitely have a playbook for infiltrating communities and taking them over. There's a lot of subreddits on Reddit that are worker aligned but have questionable viewpoints.
My truck is to just never read replies ever.
Then I can never argue with a bot!
If I don't naturally come across the post again then I just forget it ever happened. Like old forums!
can you give an example?
These are old and some of them on just their techniques, but it's a good start.

Hope that helps!
I have written comments about this before, but the very simplified guide on, how to spot the russian and chinese propagandists on lemmy, is:
You know, you found them, when your comments saying anything negative about Russia/China get downvoted, or someone starts arguing against you. Essentially there is no difference between the useful idiots and the bots and propagandists themselves. The people honestly identifying as tankies or defending tankies, are hanging in the metaphorical nazi bar without realizing it, and will not change their opinions, because they belive you are either bad, or brainwashed, so arguing does not get you anywhere.
The easiest way to deal with these, is to block the and move on. Arguing against will only give them more visibility, and make you tired and angry. If you feel pissed off, just explain these points as an answer, so others can consider with a different perspective, what they are reading, then block and move on.
100% agree. If you're explaining, you're losing. Some of the replies to your list are hilarious.
Ironically proving my point... lmao. Though I should have added, "calling Ukraine/you/your country nazis", and "trying to insult you/your country personally, being rude in attempt to get you enraged". There are probably a few more I forgot.
Lmfao your list is just anyone who doesn't deepthroat western propaganda on every aspect of their "enemies"
Do you believe western news and governments that they are not in the middle of genocide in the middle east?
Nice try at derailing. I am against all genocide, everywhere. I do not defend nor deny European powers or the USA doing shit all around. I am talking against Russian and Chinese propaganda.
Oh you're against genocide!! That's great! Which third party candidate did you vote for?
Still a miss. I am Finnish, and have the fuck all to do with the politics of the USA. There is a reason, why I am familiar with the Russian propaganda tactics.
Congrats on finally getting rid of the Nazi symbols, lmao.
Alright, I do not think I can get any better responses to deconstruct as an example, so I will do it to this exhange.
Also notice the immediate derailing, with the tactics straight from my list, which I pointed out in the answer.
Because they used such a weak thing (you can read it in that article even: the swastika-symbol was used by the Finnish air force, before nazis started to use it), it makes me believe they are just either someone trolling, or one of the useful idiots. Someone from Russia would known better examples to use, like accusing me of "russophobia", or talking about the side who won our civil war being fasciscts. They could also have accused my country for supporting Israel, because our right wing government is making weapons deals with them, which is a pretty low hanging fruit - which they seem to not have known.
Trying to draw a link between you and nazis is a common one to use. In some other country's case they might have tried to use the European colonizing, or some military operations your country has going on. Finland is a bit more difficult on that part, since we only benefitted from the colonizing indirectly, and we are not known to meddle around that much.
The point of all of this is: do not take the bait. Do not engage, and if you do, do not give them things to use, just point out the propaganda. I am going against that here, since I had a purpose in mind, so this was a bit of a special case. Usually I would have just blocked them.
Now, if anyone does not trust what I say, and thinks I am a propagandist too - that is probably just a good thing, you should likely not trust internet strangers. Go read from multiple sources, like the ones linked up there, and form your own opinions. If you encounter someone filling the criteria I wrote, do not believe what is being said without doing the same, check several sources on the subject. Media literacy is extremely important right now, but that is a different subject, I will not tackle more than that here.
Bro, get a fucking hobby, lmfao.
like persimmons or bad bo?
Smug cloud
Can confirm- they stopped sending me checks a while ago
i'm still getting them, putin even licks the stamps on the envelopes himself 💅
Putain would never lick a thing. He seals his envelopes by throwing them out a second story window
The real way to end wealth inequality: send cheques to everyone who thinks america deserves the slightest criticism.
It wasn’t those kind of bots, more like the Google web crawlers.
