Is this Lemmy instance all Russian bots?

All I see here is anti-Ukraine spam posted by the same few accounts. Seems clearly biased.

Any humans in here that can chime in?

It's not bots, but before the massive Reddit migration most of lemmy.ml was pro-Russian

Pro-reality is not pro-Russian. If you need to post fake news to be pro-Ukraine then maybe you should reconsider.

Non-russian, non-bot, pro-Ukrainian, pro NAFO checking in.

And yes, I have noticed that there is a shit ton of right-wingers and anti-West posters on Lemmy. They do not stand up to scrutiny however. Kind of seems like a half-assed bot presence but who the hell knows?

idk man, sounds like something a bot would say, i think everyone in here's a bot in one way or another lol.

and pro nafo? kinda cringe tbh. i support the ukrainian people and feel for the russian people who have to suffer their government.

still tho ye i can agree that there's a bit of bias (specifically there's 2 biases) but you can get past the biases by sifting out the bias from 2 opposing articles and just looking at facts.

Yogthos and GiorgioPerlasca are the two I blocked and things are a whole lot less pro-Russian-garbage. Still see the negatives since other post, but those two only cite pro-Russian sources

Well, I could use some help to post more pro-Ukraine news and videos!!!

I just noticed that you're viewing this from another instance.

Generally speaking, not all posts in a /c are visible outside of that instance, i.e. the distribution of federated content is not consistent.

I quote the following post a lot, but this thread is supposed to explain it: https://lemmy.ml/post/1408175

If you want to read all posts in this /c, make yourself a lemmy.ml account, and you'll see that there are quite a lot of pro-Ukraine posts in this /c

Great info, thanks for the enlightenment Zabadoh!

Can you give an example of an anti-Ukraine post here?

whiskyriot@lemmy.sdf.org · 0 pts · 3y (1 reply)

All the posts by Yogthos, for some examples. But as Zabadoh helpfully pointed out, because I am from a federated instance I am not seeing all posts in this community. Maybe Yogthos is one of the only users posting in a way that is shared across instances. I don't yet understand the mechanics of Lemmy enough.

I looked at his last few posts and they're from the Guardian and the New York Times?

I was wondering why there was so much of that

I think you're right

Idk but Youthos is a bot for sure.

Nah he's just got some weird ideas, but you'll see him in other threads showing more than 4 IQ
