Silver lining: some (possibly state level) bot farm operator considers Lemmy to be prominent enough to be worth spreading propaganda on.
We made it lads
This isn’t state level. This is just an individual script kiddie.
State level actors will use LLM’s to generate unique comments that seem to be human.
Eventually, state level actors will infiltrate Lemmy. Taking the technology that works on reddit and YouTube and making it work on Lemmy is not technically difficult.
We need to think about how to avoid such a scenario unfolding.
Yeah, someone should probably put some checks in place and see if a certain comment has been posted a bunch of times over and over again.
State level? That’s redneck yelling drunkenly into the woods level of spam.
These have a broader overlap than you might think.
Instance admins need to step up security to avoid being bombarded by bots
are the bots coming from the same Lemmy instance? if so we could defenestrate.
personally I’d rather be suggesting to the instance to set some comment limits, or similar - failing/ignoring that we could ask Blåhaj to defenestrate?
I lol’d at defenestrate
Defenestrate?
To throw out of a window.

Its one person so we.caould just block them all
A commenter in one of the many posts about the conflict pointed out something I find very interesting: while 60+% of Palestinians do have at least a slightly positive view of Hamas, 70% of them believe that Hamas should relinquish control of all militias to the PLO. And this poll was before the attack.
To me, this points to Gazans having at least a slightly positive experience with Hamas run infrastructure, while wanting them to cut out the violent attacks.

De-fe-de-ra-te: boil 'em, mash 'em, put 'em in a stew.
It’s simply the Israeli propaganda machine working as intended, please move along
Weird, I’ve barely seen any of that. I did see other spam though, mainly in the form of skimpily clothed women shilling their pages that probably aren’t even real

Doubtful. Most of the people I’ve encountered from those instances know how to spell Palestine. More likely it’s just a troll trying to get a rise from someone.
It’s most likely just someone who’s been hurt by a justified decision by the admins.
Most tankies support Palestine though, since they believe that Israel is a western colony or something like that.
i would not disagree with them on that actually
Because it is
The Balfour Declaration was a public statement issued by the British government in 1917, expressing support for the establishment of a “national home for the Jewish people” in Palestine. It stated that the British would “use their best endeavours to facilitate” this aim. While the declaration had significant historical impact, it was not a legally binding treaty.
Palestine was not a British colony, but it was under British administrative control through the British Mandate for Palestine from 1920 until 1948. The mandate was established by the League of Nations, and Britain was responsible for administering the territory.
The United States was not directly involved in the British Mandate, but it played a significant role in the post-WWII era. President Harry Truman was among the first to recognize the State of Israel upon its declaration of independence in 1948. The U.S. has been a key ally of Israel since its establishment, providing military, economic, and diplomatic support.

That makes no sense, they’re doggedly pro-palestine
What? That makes literally no sense
Palistinians
I mean they couldn’t find a better sentence than that? No more descriptive propaganda?
I love how they’re trying to go for a gotcha that only works with one framing. It’s like Hasan said, they’re all liberals.
“Hasbara”
