Silver lining: some (possibly state level) bot farm operator considers Lemmy to be prominent enough to be worth spreading propaganda on.
We made it lads
This isn't state level. This is just an individual script kiddie.
State level actors will use LLM's to generate unique comments that seem to be human.
Eventually, state level actors will infiltrate Lemmy. Taking the technology that works on reddit and YouTube and making it work on Lemmy is not technically difficult.
We need to think about how to avoid such a scenario unfolding.
Yeah, someone should probably put some checks in place and see if a certain comment has been posted a bunch of times over and over again.
A commenter in one of the many posts about the conflict pointed out something I find very interesting: while 60+% of Palestinians do have at least a slightly positive view of Hamas, 70% of them believe that Hamas should relinquish control of all militias to the PLO. And this poll was before the attack.
To me, this points to Gazans having at least a slightly positive experience with Hamas run infrastructure, while wanting them to cut out the violent attacks.
are the bots coming from the same Lemmy instance? if so we could defenestrate.
personally I'd rather be suggesting to the instance to set some comment limits, or similar - failing/ignoring that we could ask Blåhaj to defenestrate?
I lol'd at defenestrate
Defenestrate?
To throw out of a window.
Its one person so we.caould just block them all
De-fe-de-ra-te: boil 'em, mash 'em, put 'em in a stew.
It’s simply the Israeli propaganda machine working as intended, please move along
Weird, I've barely seen any of that. I did see other spam though, mainly in the form of skimpily clothed women shilling their pages that probably aren't even real
I mean they couldn't find a better sentence than that? No more descriptive propaganda?
Palistinians
I love how they're trying to go for a gotcha that only works with one framing. It's like Hasan said, they're all liberals.
