Context to the global south?
People where I live have opinions about things that when you write on Lemmy and Reddit get accused you of being a Russian bot or trying to influence never ending USAmerican elections as if they (USAmericans) live in a democracy and meme posts to a niche international community of open source software with around 40k active users matters.

Hard disagree. One post can spark a thought process in the right person at the right place. I’ve seen this enough, not only on Lemmy.
ok but I think you’re delusional
Call it experienced.
Reporting this post: russian bot.
Russian bot reporting for duty
It’s an easier out than admitting they’re uninformed or just plain wrong.
I agree with the sentiment but by god the pacing of the joke in this meme is awful
hehe already had the pleasure of interacting with these lemmy liberals they seem to get mighty scratched when you point out nazi ukraine propaganda 😂
either russian or chinese bot. lol
Those two countries make up a large part of the world together, and furthermore many other countries align with their views. I think the point of this “meme” is that dismissing those views as fringe risks normalizing only a small part of the global discourse.
i think that’s the point of this trend – an attempt to make important subject like genocide and ethnic cleansing feel more like astroturfed concern.
I feel like a lot of those things are entirely orthogonal to what side one chooses. Like, Russia attacks Ukraine, the US attacks Iran, China does ethnic cleansing (edit: I don’t think that’s the case, but Western media claim that), Israel does too. So the best we can do as regular citizens is to ensure we don’t restrict our views.
China does ethnic cleansin
This is, to the best of my knowledge and research ability, not the case
I agree. I don’t think it’s the case and evidence seems to point that way. Edited for correctness.
Would you mind describing your research process for anyone reading this thread in the future? I agree and came to the same conclusion. There simply isn’t enough evidence to support the claim.
China does ethnic cleansing
this is news to me; where does it come from?
I tried to make a Russian bot… Ended up with a TAS version of super Mario 64, it was rushing though damn my lisp
Yes, that’s me, Russian bot Boris ‘30 minute’ Gorbachev
The implication here is that it’s a human reacting to it, not an actual bot, so therefore you’re saying Russians are inherently bots. This is just naked racism.
