Geopolitics - Lemmy.ca
lemmy.ca
For serious consideration of world politics as it relates to the growing multipolar world reality. Basic rules: Be KIND, polite, civil, and understanding. Racism and/or hate will not be tolerated. Dialogue helps with understanding. #BLM #AboringinalRights No, identity politics, don’t matter when the World is aflame!

The sole moderator doesn’t even follow their own rules: https://lemmy.ca/post/22741340?scrollToComments=true

I’ll just say it - it’s a Russian propaganda community. Is there any reason this community needs to exist on Lemmy.ca? Is there a rule against blatant astroturfing / propaganda / misinformation? I don’t think the 5 rules in the sidebar are going to be enough to stop an army of trolls:

No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, > or xenophobia. Be respectful. Everyone should feel welcome here. No porn. Use the NSFW tag when needed. No Ads / Spamming. Bot accounts need to be flagged as such in their settings.

Maybe time to get ahead of it?

    I second that. I’m not seeing a lot of value from it, and it feel it heavily parrots a lot of articles and op-eds that I’d expect to be flagged as Russian Troll Farm spooge. Just me.
