It's entirely possible Lemmy is being seen as a potential anti-establishment platform and having one or two trolls assigned to the platform is worth the hours. Soferman says he works in communications could mean he sidegigs for a Pro-US troll farm.

Well I would not go on that far, but he is in a certain echo chamber and I can tell what it is, from experience. It is a very similar story to my Indian liberal/libertarian family.

You might be right. I watched The Dissident recently and it made me realize how many countries pay people to just comment things on the internet to try to away public opinion though. Why this guy is posting pro imperial news articles on a site that is anti imperial is really
weird. He's an evangelical out of the goodness of his heart? One or two maybe but he spams the site every day with anti-russian and anti-chinese articles. Who does that and why?

I am seriously curious. My Spidey senses have become really good over time at pointing out this stuff. And he is definitely smarter than regular chaps at what he is doing.
