I don’t really have an opinion about whether “astroturfing by foreign nations” is widespread on the internet overall. I will note that we have to take the word of intelligence agencies and big tech companies as the only evidence in the public record that it’s happening.
What I am saying is that here on the fediverse, the people who throw around that accusation are childish and ill-informed every time.
Basically, these people are saying that they can’t even imagine the possibility of people believing differently than the national media narrative of their home country, which is a pretty embarrassing self-own if you ask me.
