      Would you show me what lead you to believe this? Do you have any evidence of an account whose actions are consistent with those of a bot? Say reposting old comments as a response to a repost to build fake history, or pretending to be one thing in one case and not others, or a sudden shift in content indicating the account was sold?

      Or is it just easier to believe as it gives you an excuse not to examine your own beliefs?

        I completely believe tankies from lemmy.ml who come here to defend Russia and tell people to not vote for Harris are not bots or paid shills. Neither is needed when there are tankies to do it regardless.

                  I guess if I was talking about “all the dumbasses on lemmy.world” and commiserating with others about how “they’re not paid, they’re just actually that stupid” you would probably take offense too

                    Not particularly. Why would I give a shit? Why do you give a shit? Is lemmy.ml part of your identity?

                    Anyway, this is what I said:

                    I completely believe tankies from lemmy.ml who come here to defend Russia and tell people to not vote for Harris are not bots or paid shills.

                    And since you apparently come here to work out your aggression on people who aren’t talking about you because they dared insult users of your preferred server, I guess you don’t fit that description.

              Cool, so as long as I’m making at least $30/hour I’m “fine***”. 🫠

              (Also my wage would have had to have been $20/hr increased to $30/hr in the span of that chart for your statement to be true)
