What's up with this straight up pro-china and pro-russia stuff on Lemmy lately?

It's not even praising the people of China and Russia, but rather their gov directly.

Obviously the states have problems, and the EU to a lesser degree, but they at least have some human rights.

Is this some kind of organized disinformation campaign?

The stormfront / kiwifarms strategy seems to be to set up shop anywhere that won't ban them, and lets them doxx whoever they want. And there are A LOT of lemmy servers that won't take action and ban them.

What's interesting is that davel doesn't put pronouns in their name, so that comment is confusing.

Lemmy federation still has a quirk regarding display names. Most instances still have my display name cached like that.

Huh, interesting. TIL!

for whatever reason they do show up in the modlog in the op

I had to do a double take reading that comment too, because while davel is an admin, the post did say "moderator"

Huh, interesting, I never saw that. Maybe an issue with federation?
