Lemmy users are, for a large part, former or concurrent Reddit users who did not like some action or another taken by the corporate administration of that platform, it would be a mistake to assume that they are somehow less liable to manipulation or jumping to conclusions that users of other social media merely on account of a somewhat anti corporate slant
While I absolutely agree, I find the “average poster” here to be at least as gullible as the average redditor. But not quite as bad as the “average /r/conspiracy” poster, but getting pretty close.
