US maybe? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 years ago (1 child) That's what I'm guessing. But if there are a bunch of Americans coming to Albertan subs and astroturfing political opinions, I'm not sure that's actually better than Russia. I don't give a shit if it's an American or Russian who wants to warp our discourse, our political conversations are still getting bent out of shape. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Betch@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Oh absolutely. In no way is it any better, it just adds to it. It would be good to know what percentage of users/posts were from country #2 and Russia as well. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Shiggles@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) It’s a lot more likely a US citizen was raised in/has family in a small Canadian town though. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] maynarkh@feddit.nl 4 points 2 years ago And speaks English permalink fedilink source parent
