Chinese propaganda is rampant on the fediverse

Facts or tits. Provide one.

If you know anything about Goat and PugJesus...
Well I guess no answer in this case is a very loud answer.

Do you have any evidence backing this claim up, or is this the way you've decided to rationalize a greater portion of people being pro-PRC?

Diggaaaa, you can just look the users, their posts, their communities and how they moderate them (modlogs) up.
No need to spoonfeed you like a child

2 great tits! They're really beautiful.

Diggaah, if you claim something the proof of burden is on your side!
Funny. I don’t know all of this users, but I know pugjesus and haven’t seen one pro-genocide post from him ever, but a shit ton educational history memes….

It's widely-know. Just have to look at the post history of the creators. Particularly Desalines or whatever.
Opinions are not evidence of state funding.

Who said anything about state funding? Opinions are sometimes not opinions at all, just propaganda from state actors.

What do you mean by "state actor" if not someone funded, paid, or otherwise supported by a state? Is just being a fan of China being a state actor?

Do you have evidence of Dessalines, or any other Lemmy dev, being supported by the CPC?

Chinese propaganda is rampant on the fediverse. We need to discuss ways to combat this. One group- memes or something is wholly controlled by Chinese state actors. What do you think?
On the topic, I've been seeing plenty of war-hawk think-tank accounts who only post propaganda, like:
- Scotty@scribe.disroot.org
- Hotznplotzn@lemmy.sdf.org
- randomname@scribe.disroot.org
- 0x815@feddit.org (and all their alt-accounts, including 0x815@feddit.de and thelucky8@beehaw.org )
They are clearly not involved in our communities.

What you’re describing is false moral equivalence used as a deflective propaganda strategy.
AKA "whataboutism".

Ironically, the most active user on the current #2 China community, !china@sopuli.xyz, is an absolutely indefatigable anti-Chinese propagandist.
This person, @Hotznplotzn@lemmy.sdf.org posts multiple times per day, usually quite sensible and well-sourced articles, but always on the same downer subjects (repression, Uighurs, corruption and so on) and never anything that paints China (let alone its government) in the slightest positive light. Since nobody else in this community can match their posting stamina, the end result is a community that, to newcomers, looks like one rando's "I hate China" blog. Hardly surprising that it's not a very successful community.
I've asked this user to consider dropping the tempo a bit, and been met with defensiveness. I complained in private to the mod, who is completely AWOL, and they didn't care. Oh well.

leftists* are rampant on the fediverse

Good hint, but there needs to be an online registry of them where you can subscribe to them and get updates automatically when they change. This is how Bluesky works and it works very well.
Defederations and bans essentially work like a shared blocklist for all users on that instance. Plus you get a local feed with other users who have similar interests, and blocked users/instances don't use local server resources.
Subscribing to a blocklist seems risky, because it's likely that many users would subscribe to a single, popular blocklist. Then it would become a centralised point of control which can silence people across much of the Lemmyverse.

So they're trying to capture mind share of technologists. Nice play, I'm embarrassed.
Register on a different instance and filter everything ml. It's a life changer with the Fediverse.

Yes, but I'd rather be able to control it myself than try to find a whole instance that perfectly matches my needs. You can always unsubscribe from the blocklists.

Do you have a shred of actual evidence for this? Or is it just the standard lib ad-hom of accusing those who disagree of being evil foreigners?
