Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

ITT: people shouting "nuh uh" at the post.

I'm fairly convinced that Lemmy has been compromised with an inordinate amount of Russian propaganda relay bots.

Lemmy's so small I have my doubts it's that widespread. We have a good amount of extreme left true believers here.

[–] III@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I mean, why wouldn't it be? There is nothing stopping bad faith actors from participating. The only reason they wouldn't is if there was little value in doing so.

[–] wildcherry 2 points 8 months ago

What about the people like me who are just tired of liberal astroturfing? One can hate putin and that lesser-evil bullcrap you know

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

Did hexbear and Lemmygrad not tip you off? Except they're not just bots, there are a lot of real people at it too.

[–] marxistsynths19@lemmy.ml 9 points 8 months ago

If all else fails, blame Russia lol

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yup. Anyone who thinks differently than you do is a bot and/or explicitly supportive if Russia.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Sounds like something a bot would say >_>

Gonna be like this every election year from here on out.

[–] drewaustin@lemmy.ca 5 points 8 months ago

Yeah, anyone who doesn’t agree with me is a Russian bot.

[–] Kentifer@lemmy.world -1 points 8 months ago

Because real, reasonable people can't disagree with this? Many people would say that this doesn't go far enough as it doesn't condemn third party voters for just "throwing their vote away."

Imagine thinking that the only people who hold a position you don't like are Russian bots and not real people who actually believe shit.

[–] merthyr1831@lemmy.world -4 points 8 months ago (2 children)

If you're really that convinced that everyone who doesnt like genocide joe is a russian bot, then you're far too immature to be using any website other than reddit.

[–] Guntrigger@feddit.ch 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You call them immature in the same sentence as literally name calling like a school bully.

[–] areyouevenreal@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

I mean if the man supports genocide it's fair to call him that.

[–] wildcherry 3 points 8 months ago

Liberals are fine with warcrime when their side is doing it. Meanwhile, under their Biden, American soldiers are setting themselves afire.

If they get trump they will have nobody to blame but themselves.
