How old are you, just wondering?
Why? I've been working for nearly 30 years.
How old are you? How about instead of trying to find ways to discredit me and find some "gotcha!" you try and just have an adult conversation? You've already resorted to calling me a "bad faith troll" simply because I said your story doesn't add up, now you're trying to get personal details to try and use that against me? lol

Well now I have a sinking feeling in my stomach. I'm sorry you have been failed by the education system. Wish you the best.

Says the person that unironically said this....
I bet you believe Trump won the 2024 election with no tampering or unfair purging. I don’t think evidence works on your kind of person. Therefore you are unlikely to convince me of anything.
lol. Also says the person who was participating in r/harrypotter lol. I think you are still in the education system, and are proof that it is failing.
The education system was significantly better in my time, which is why I can think critically and listen to opposing viewpoints without getting "triggered" and start name calling and attacking.
We're done here now, right? No point wasting any more time?

You don't think there was unprecedented purging of voter rolls? That's really sad.

Lemmy is in a growth stage. That's exactly the time groups would want to start embedding bots to give them the most possible credulity for when they're needed.
This is exactly how voat died. There may have been an ounce of legitimacy early on. It veered into blatant far right accounts posting every top post. It's obvious this kind of thing happens on lemmy too. Especially on certain instances. For now at least the federation model appears to be doing its thing.

Think about opening your favorite social media app, and seeing 60% of the posts in support of something... And then when the day comes that thing receives about 1% of RL support.
Snakes on a Plane. Enthusiasm for Democrats 2024.
Damn this explains why I never saw it but did heard of it online
Kinda like the opposite with Avatar from Cameron. The more people diss on the fans, the more they galvanize to see it

According to the comments r/europe_sub and r/canada_sub might be involved as well.

Who cares? Anyone still drinking the reddit cool aid is just asking for a leopard to eat their face.

Removing people who aren't allowed to vote from voting rolls? You're against that?
Funny how this "the election was stolen" narrative is taking hold among the left now, despite laughing off any suggestion from the far right of it happening in 2020 lol.

I waited 20 years to see that movie.
What a piece of shit

Yup. I've worked in tech for nearly 20 years. Most people who work in tech don't give a shit about the ethics of what they do or where they work if the money is good.
This is a screenshot from one of the discords of current and/or previous coworkers, but the sentiment is everywhere
Sleepwalking into nazi germany with that attitude.

Reddit was already compromised. For those that were there, there was incident that showed that most of the top posts made are made by a handful accounts on several subbreddits. Keep an eye for things like this, in fact you should be suspicious of .world and their actions.
Good thing I switched to .dbzer0.

Unfortunately many of the people I work or have worked with are from all over the world, and many of them share these ideals. I took a big pay cut 5 years ago to move from the ad/ecommerce industry to work at an emergency management SaaS company.
The app I now work on is used to save lives, whereas the customers I was producing work for at my last job would do anything for the extra dollar. Knowing where my time is going towards the general good is very rewarding. Yet many people I spoke to in my industry were confused at my decision.
Late stage capitalism and fascism I think eventually are inseparable. Just the centralization of power and wealth consolidation that fails everyone involved in the system except those at the top

Same here fellow sailor. Reddit made me feel transparent. Never going back!

Good evidence of astroturfing on Reddit. That Reddit took action and banned the Palantir agents only provides evidence that exposure of the op is the problem. Not evidence that Reddit acts in good faith.

You guys can’t think there are seriously paid bots on lemmy. There are like 10,000 users. It’s basically a niche message board. Reddit is a valuable target because it has millions of users. Facebook, instagram, Twitter. These places are being astroturfed. But lemmy? I honestly don’t believe it. It doesn’t even have a core of users in any particular country. The small user base is spread all over the world. It just isn’t a target of these campaigns.
People are complicated. Everyone always points to “all that anti Kamala talk ended right after the election!” Yeah, maybe a lot of the pro-Palestinian anti Kamala people saying they wouldn’t vote for her stopped speaking so publicly because the reality of the other option sunk in. That doesn’t mean those people are paid trolls or bots. It means their argument got much more difficult when trump started plotting out his Gaza hotel. Those feelings are still legitimate. The feeling of not being able to sign your name to the lesser of two evils when that “lesser” is still funding and arming the genocidal force. People couldn’t swallow that on a personal level. But as soon as trump was elected, because it was one of two options, for the sake of not being angrily brigades, people stopped talking about it.
It’s a much more nuanced issue than bots on lemmy.
You in turn are overestimating how much effort is required for an established bot farm to add a platform to their system.
I used to see that shit decades ago in the phpBB days, you'd get accounts signing up to a board with 20 active users to post climate change denialist articles, even though the website itself had nothing to do with climate change. (Looking back on it now, the oil lobby was probably the first big user of internet forum astroturfing, but somehow nothing ever came of it...)

I have never seen it but I remember the snake meme was a highlight of the time

Snakes on a Plane and Bernie have proven that what you see online is complete bullshit.
Biden got the boot because he was a no-hoper and his party must have been aware of his cancer. Kamala stood ZERO chance.
It sucks to have to admit that Trump and his fascists are popular. Very popular.
But that's not what the public nor the voters were told

He was a pretty smart guy, so I'm pretty sure he understood the ramifications. This isn't like a plumber working in a building that happens to house an evil company. This was directly working as a high ranking software developer at a shitty software company.
Sure he does, intellectually, just like I understand the ramifications of buying a smartphone, clothes "made in Bangladesh", or using a public AI model. Still the human conscience doesn't apply too much significance to something that abstract. It doesn't keep me up at night that my lithium is mined by Congolese children - but if I had to buy it personally from a one-armed indentured labourer I'm sure I'd stop immediately. "Out of sight out of mind" isn't an excuse for committing heinous acts, I'm just saying that it's not simply that he "doesn't care about other people"

A good question to ask, is what would happen if Lemmy was the victim of astroturfing. It's decentralized for starters and groups might not even reside in the same place on the fediverse. Also I expect Reddit has monitoring, analytics and tools that could flag behaviour rather than somebody having to go through logs trying to find patterns.
I think Lemmy and other federated platforms have escaped having to deal with these issues simply because someone attempting to astroturf will do it on the biggest platform. So Lemmy escapes not by any technical or administrative virtue but by being smallfry.
