    Nah, I think Lemmy is treated as a training ground. Think about this - if an actual Russian or Chinese state propaganda agency approached Dessalines and offered to fund Lemmy development in exchange for getting their agents on the admin list, how quickly would he nut himself?

      lemmy was already like that before reddit fuckover, probably worse because we only had lemmy.ml, so no, just flood twitter, and chatgpt is cheaper
