r/Canada has always been a shit show but the alleged bot/paid actor activity is very concerning.
I'm not even from canada and I knew r/onguardforthee was the less shitty version of r/canada. I'm not sure why she's surprised they're being shit.
The longer I spend in the Fediverse the more obviously fake reddit is when I occasionally look at it (through an anonymous front-end)
The moderation issue on Reddit is also a problem that is already extremely prevalent here on Lemmy, which more or less shares the same system. If foreign actors like Russia decide to influence the Fediverse (which is already highly radicalized), they'd have a very easy time. The modlog even actually helps abusive mods more than the users who become target of mod abuse, since they can just scrub the evidence and provide bullshit mod action reasons that most people who read it will just take at face value without actually questioning them.
If? Did you see the mental gymnastics and agitprop going on around the election to get Trump elected? One or more nation state botnets is already deeply entrenched here. Since the election they became inactive and the stream of murder/suicide-"leftist" posting died down. Denialism of the Russian disinfo operations, which are well documenteted at this point, is also decently common here. I will probably get a comment about it in fact.
Isn't it easier to remove such mods on Lemmy instances, where the admins are not working for a commercial entity?
Not if the admins are just as shitty as the mods, which I've seen plenty of by now.
Right, but that's where better/worse instances can make a difference. Unless all instances are shit. But they aren't. Ours is pretty good as far as I can tell. And it's run by a proper non-profit.
People also say that about db0 & SJW, which I know is not true. It's easy to say things are okay when you're not directly affected.
