Man, there’s like no day I don’t see another high quality version of this meme on Lemmy.
How many different upscaled versions do you people have exactly?
That’s how you know you’ve made it in social media
I wonder if they’ll ever notice this place. Like. Before a big election or something.
I swear they’re already here. We got a couple stubborn conservative plants doing nothing but posting disinfo day in and day out. The mods of !conservative@lemmy.world are particularly sus.
That’s basically what the ml and hexbear instances seem to be. Or at least there’s a lot of them there.
It’s always been there, it’s easier to moderate them out than it is on the alternatives. Would rather still be on bsky/mastodon than whatever the fuck.
Oh, good. I was worried we might actually get to keep a platform free of garbage. Whew. Can’t wait for all those conspiracy nuts to join in too!

Seriously, if someone would just off Putin, that’d be great. Let Russia fall into a little civil war as smaller leaders fight amongst themselves for the scraps.
i was hoping for a purified echo chamber because that’s clearly what this world needs more of.
Too many nukes
If they had any that worked, they’d have used them by now.
Putin may be crazy, but he’s not suicidal.
Nukes aren’t self stable. The brains that it takes to maintain the stock left or died long ago.
The nuclear block makes it a fools errand
I very much love the Bluesky block. Admittedly I am not there much, but still.
Gross
Can they not just block these? I get that this is a never ending battle against troll farms and the like, but is BSky already falling to the “more engagement is better and we don’t care if it’s nefarious engagement” trap already?
There are many useful blocklists. But the average user isn’t informed enough to seek them.
I mean for the service to block them or eliminate the troll accounts. Not for the user to do so.
Bots. Bots EVERYWHERE
The fucking Russian shills cried on Reddit resulting in permanent bans. They will be here soon enough.
The problem of platforms when they become big. Just like cyber criminals lurk on systems used by the mass to exploit. Things can be used for good and for bad. And its often the small portion of bad that ruins it for large majority. Just like the few football hooligans that screw things up for the rest.
Bad intend or behavior is just hard to manage in a free online world. If Elon is hated then Adrian will take over…
“Russian influence operations” is a pompous way of saying that social media communities are big villages, and village culture gossip and bullshit and ape dynamics work there just as well.
Those “operations” are not significantly more complex than “bank support” calling you and saying you’ve got to tell them the 2fa code, or you lose all your money.
BTW, if something works well, it shouldn’t be more complex. Just those people who designed social media to be vulnerable to such attacks - they should understand that social backdoors are just as universal as technical backdoors.
bluesky itself is russian psy op
This is where it all ends. “Everything I don’t like is Russia/China/Iran”.
Nothing evaluated on its merits. Nobody with a view different from mine is real. Evil Foreigners is the explanation for every bad take and un-pc post. Americans are only ever loyal patriots, villainous traitors, or useful idiots.
i can’t belive people are dying for another twitter-type platform
Finding people you like on the internet and talking to them is fun.
