Lemmy is neither popular nor heavily advertised, so people join at a slow rate

On the other hand, the amount political discussions, Hexbear, and lack of content result in disinterested people leaving Lemmy and joining Reddit

So the user count is decreasing because Reddit refugees are leaving faster than new people are joining

    Lemmy is whatever we make it, except for the communism posts that love communism until they realize workers need representation. I half believe those are Chinese bots or high school kids who are stupid enough to believe the Chinese bots.

    Right. Magically, everyone on the Internet has become infatuated with communism out of thin air over the last few years. Must just be my paranoia to surggest influence from a hostile government.

    How do you account for the vast amount of anti-CPC Communists, Socialists, and Anarchists, if this "influence from a hostile government" is so effective? Might it be simpler to see that Capitalism's increasing failure has driven more people in developed countries towards radicalization, especially as generations are further removed from the Red Scare?

    While all of this is great for Russia doing this.

    Is there any evidence China does?

    Yes. I have posted these links multiple times now.

    Also the fifty cent party a Chinese troll farm based entirely on spreading propaganda for the ccp

    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.

    If people left Reddit and then went back, then they are just proving to spez that they are the addicts he thinks they are and is counting on abusing. No thanks. Fuck Reddit.

    Reddit has actually gotten a lot better since the Exodus. All the political activists have come here.
