Comment on Trump is giving Russian cyber ops a free pass – and putting western democracy on the line.

It’s not all of them, but it’s enough to influence idiots.

Like people seriously underestimate Russian disinfo and cyber warfare.

You’ll find Russians absolutely fucking everywhere.

People exactly like Davel.

I had a similar moron on Ireland discord claim he’s native born Irish, I taunted him to voice channel and when he spoke it was a very heavy Russian accent, and bro didn’t even know what a limerick is.

It’s beyond easy to catch poorly educated Ruskis playing westerners if you keep any wits about you.

If you see russians everywhere you are probably underestimating american disinfo and cyber warfare. USA has the most powerful and technological advanced army in the world and they spend 10 times more in war than russia. For every russian agent you see expect there to be at last 1 american.

  Yes hello.
  
  I was waiting for one of you to turn up.
  
  Don’t think I be forgotten your nickname.
  
  Nice strawmanning, but “on every platform” =/= “everywhere.”
  
  Thanks for the case in point, comrade!

I meant it’s not limited to lemmy.ml.

And yeah, it’s pretty easy to tell disinfo most of the time if you prod a little.

I got banned from some .ml community because I had the audacity to suggest that maybe Russia isn’t the best place in the world for individual privacy, but I think the mod was from another instance altogether. I honestly can’t remember the details, but it was pretty clear a few steps into the discussion that they were at least a Russian apologist if not full-on spreading disinfo intentionally, so I baited them to push the mod button. And they did. I could have disengaged, but I don’t want to be part of a community where even mild criticism of a nation isn’t allowed.
