All I did was ask for a link showing that UM was surprised or upset that you blocked her/him, because I’ve never seem them question that before. I always seem to remember them suggesting blocking them, not being upset by it.

I didn’t say you were incorrect; i was just asking for proof cuz I’ve never seen it. It’s not like I am super concerned about it or anything. But I don’t live on lemmy and have no investment between your feud–or whatever it is–with that person. not a big deal to me either way

?

u/universalmonk was one, acted so surprised when I blocked and didn’t want to explain why.

Links to that? Because I’ve never seen Universal Monk act surprised when someone blocked him/her.

In fact, he/she often recommended blocking them if you didn’t agree with what they said.

I like what Trump is doing.

And not everyone shares your opinion, so all good.

what would me posting a link to an AP News article have to do with AP News being compromised as a news agency?

So you think AP News is compromised and is bowing down to Trump?!

AP News came up with the headline, not me

AP News disagrees with you

I do not think that American Democrats or Republicans are capable of running an operation that is anywhere near this successful. They are, for the most part, corrupt idiots.

Fair.

Certainly as soon as the election happened, they switched from promoting Rachele Fruit relentlessly,

I just looked him up, and he still promotes her and mods a community based on her political party. His profile seems to rage against the duopoly, so seems he is firmly still in third-party mode.

n a broader sense, separate from this individual user, it is absolutely well-documented that there are foreign influence campaigns distorting social media to promote electoral outcomes operating on a massive scale.

Maybe, but if that’s true, I think it happens on both sides of the political spectrum. Just as many Democrats engage in that as Republicans.

Also, Lemmy is overwhelmingly left-leaning. So in that case, isn’t Lemmy part of that surge trying to influence the campaign? They were heavily promoting all things Democrat, and heavilly downvoting anything that was third party or republican.

According to your logic, and your numbers, Lemmy is part of that influencing agent. And it seems to be trying to continue to influence things.

And since Lemmy is part of a political influence scenario, then that means you are too. As am I.

During the October run-up when Monk was trying hard to influence the election

How can Lemmy influence an election?! Hardly anyone has even heard of Lemmy. How on earth can you think that Lemmy would influence an election? Didn’t Universalmonk say he was voting Green Party anyway? How is that influencing an election?!
