    What’s a more likely target for state actors:

    A small federated social media platform with a limited audience and that, by design, decentralizes control

    OR

    Reddit, which literally has Atlantic Council members deciding content moderation policy

    It’s not anyone else’s fault that the US has been taking L after L recently internationally.

      Reddit is manipulated for sure. I didn’t say it wasn’t.

      I said that Lemmy shows all the signs of bullshit propaganda. I think the US has its pros and cons, but I can tell RT like content when I see it.

      A small social media platform is easy to manipulate as well. The goal for Russia is to divide the West and anger people. When only 15 upvotes will get something to Top for the day, that’s pretty ripe for abuse.
