Can we do something about propaganda posting? (Soferman) (lemmy.ml)

Soferman seems to be flooding this sub with pro-western news articles. Taken en aggregate, I see it as propaganda and I think this violates the "No Propaganda" rule. I'd like to appeal to the mods to make a review.

For example: Soferman shares articles from VOA, which is US state sponsored propaganda. This, plus all of his other articles that seem to be focused on anti-russian or anti-chinese messaging with a few general interest stories sprinkled in, paints the picture of someone trying to influence users to form a specific opinion. It really feels like propaganda.

Maybe we can impose a limit to the amount of topics any one user can post per day?

I'll be suprised if I get charged for "propagandaposting". This will also turn the world news group in the flagship instance into more of a bubble.

I also feel like I try to post diverse type articles that has something from a lot of countries that can be exciting. If we had more activety there should be at least this many posts everyday to get somewhat of a coverage of news.

But also, the point of lemmy is to put the active/trending posts at the top.

Edit:

And with regards to posting stuff that are critical to China and Russia.

I could try to post stuff that is critical of USA as well. I'm critical of them too, but they are not very relevant right now. maybe you guys can help out with that. But I also have to deal with people losing their minds every time there is any critical views targetet towards Russia or China, or even Belarus... This also makes the post regarding those topics trend which doesnt help

When traffic is so small, you don't need much to "flood" the community…

Please keep posting.
