He generally shows most of the signs of the misinformation accounts:

  • Wants to repeatedly tell basically the same narrative and nothing else
  • Narrative is fundamentally false
  • Not interested in any kind of conversation or in learning that what he’s posting is backwards from the values > he claims to profess

I also suspect that it’s not a coincidence that this is happening just as the Elon Musks of the world are ramping up attacks on Wikipedia, specially because it is a force for truth in the world that’s less corruptible > than a lot of the others, and tends to fight back legally if someone tries to interfere with the free speech or safety of its editors.

Anyway, YSK. I reported him as misinformation, but who knows if that will lead to any result.

Edit: Number of people real salty that I’m talking about this: Lots

    I am pretty convinced that .ml is legitimately used as a Russian troll training ground before they get promoted to Facebook and reddit.

    Liberals are so fucking weird.

        Saw someone hitting davel with the "are you such a weak-willed american that" and all I could think was "look I might not be alright with davel's recent fuckery but what reason do those of us trapped here have to be 'strong' willed Amerikans"? What even constitutes "strong-willed" to that jackass, eagerly sucking down everything the State Department tells you? This country is run by an uncountable horde of inveterate fucking LIARS.

        From the White House to the Capitol Building to the Supreme Court and all the aides, lobbyists, and other Washingtonian parasites in-between, we are ruled by lying capitalist SWINE. Every single one has provably lied us into either a war, a genocide, or an upwards transfer of wealth making us all poorer. We are not paid enough to have strong wills. Prices of non-negotiable necessities have risen too high to have strong wills. Every day, the absolute metric tons of murder and genocide the white slavemaster government perpetrates is supposed to be uncritically uplifted, if you even so much as mention the word "genocide" next to the words "American", "government", "complicit", and "in" you get popped in the mouth with the metaphorical wooden spoon; but we're supposed to have strong wills?

        When a social serial killer gets shot in the back, we're supposed to weep and wring our hands for him despite the hundreds of THOUSANDS who got family members ripped away from them by HIS policies, and we're supposed to have strong wills?

        I fuckin hate these ghoul-assed settlers. Ask me how I know that poster was white.

        What's the orientation process like? If I already came here from reddit, is it retraining with some checklist I got during our super secret sign-up process? What makes reddit and facebook intellectual heavyweights?

        You'd think one of these goobers would just make a hexbear account and try to test their conspiracy out. If I thought I could break such a massive story by making a free forum account, I'd probably do that. Liberals instead draw scooby doo villains on the wall and scare themselves. It's as lazy as it is sad.

        Edit: I even made a .ml account just to post dog photos from his own little fantasy country.

            They can just pretend though. This is even easier than disproving flat earth nonsense. I'd probably still have this account four years later if I just posted "hell yeah" in threads where a wealthy person dies.

    I read on Wikipedia that klezmer music was banned in the Stalin era USSR. Of course, you can easily find klezmer albums recorded in state owned studios in the Stalin era USSR. Pointing this out is "original research", which isn't allowed by Wikipedia. Instead you have to use a so-called reliable source, which means any dumb shit published by someone like Anne Applebaum in the Atlantic is just fine. I advise against using Wikipedia for anything. Even a straightforward fact like a date of birth isn't to be trusted unless you're planning to dig through all of the citations.

      Most shocking thing about that thread is a .ee poster of all feds actually paraphrased you lmfao. The one lemm.ee poster that deserves to be spared from a nuclear warhead getting dropped on that fed

    Oh hey, we've got digital phrenology now.

    They're trying so desperately hard to tech themselves into 'any disagreement with white westerner sentiment is and ONLY EVER is just bot activity'.

    Cracker motherfuckers out here like "Could I be the one who's wrong? No. It's the orcs and the orc bots and the n/'s and s/'s and c/'s and the fucking tAnKiEs who are wrong."

    "This is in the news because Wikipedia is refusing to rewrite history to the fascists’ specifications." -- PhilipTheBucket

    Somebody tell that smug-assed cracker that the fascists are already writing Wikipedia from Eglin, Langley, Nellis, and the fn Pentagon. God, I hate crackers it's always some failure-to-self-recognize horseshit every time the subject of fascism comes up like they don't genocide and and thieve from anyone who raises their voice to them

      It looks like a 1 user instance, probably using a domain someone already had sitting around. No need to be hostile

    Actually I did post about my Wikipedia editing experience today. I swear it's unrelated to Musk, tho.

    Not being sarcastic at all.
