While all of this is great for Russia doing this.

Is there any evidence China does?

This took me 5 seconds of research. If were being passive aggressive here ive gotta say. are you sure you didn't get dropped on the head as a baby or eat copious amounts of lead

Haha naw I just kind wanted some one to post this information.

Honestly I still don't think there's much to gain from influencing lemmy users. But I know it's a game of attrition you have to do it everywhere on as many social networks as possible to cast the widest net.

I don't believe there are any states trying to influence. Lemmy although you just can't be certain these days. I do think it's possible lemmys the perfect breeding ground for propoganda especially considering a good chunk say 40% of lemmy are tankies tankies is a term to decribe someone whom holds marxist/stalinist/Communist politcal views and are very suspectible to propoganda.
