    As noted, that’s exactly what people said about every community ever. “Shills? Manipulation? Nobody would do that!” except that various world governments funded divisions to do exactly that, it turns out.

      Can you list any website or community that has less than 10k active posters that has shills?

        Why would I be able to do that? As I mentioned about the roundup thing, that doesn’t matter. They just search for anything relevant.

          So you don’t have any evidence that there are shills on lemmy. Then why even argue that point if you don’t have anything?

          There’s no shills on Lemmy, dude, quit being paranoid

              aight dude, no need to freak out. just saying that it’s waaay unlikely for government shills to operate on a small internet forum compared to large social media.

                  Same as yours, experience. I’ve been active on voat, ruqqus, said.it–Almost all the reddit alternatives. No one is shilling.

                  Like think of it at a logistical level in the perspective of a shill boss. Would you really dedicate resources to shilling a community already self-radicalised by its admins? Or would you dedicate those resources to mainstream social media websites where the admins have a very hands-off approach to politics?
