    None of us are Russian bots, the admins of any instance would notice. Hell HB wasn’t even federated for 4 years. Do you think Russia was running a bot farm that wasn’t connected to anyone outside of the farm?

    But liberals find it easier to accuse anyone to their left of being a bot than question their own views.

      Unless of course … the admins of your instance are also Russian bots.

      Did you just float the idea of Russian bots and then accuse “liberals” of floating the idea of Russian bots? You’re the only person anywhere in here mentioning bots

        Reread the parent comment and focus on the second half of the first sentence

          This meme doesn’t state or imply anything about bots. You jumped in with “the liberals are blaming bots” from absolutely nowhere my dude

            Did I? The two comments above the one your first comment responded to mentioned Russian bots and neither was written by me

              Touché, but my point still stands in reference to the chap I was conversing with. And what you said still doesn’t make any sense

                Your claim was that that person talked about Russian bots out of nowhere while it was the third comment in a chain that at least mentioned Russian bots.

                A: they are all Russian bots
                B: not all of them are Russian bots
                C: none of us are Russian bots
                U: Why is C talking about Russian bots out of nowhere? Where is this coming from? It’s not in the meme and I don’t understand the concept of comments that refer to other comments while write one myself.

                I’m not even defending the tankie triade. I’m defending reading comprehension

                    To clarify, there is no actual lemmy.ru, OP added it in to imply the other instances are Russian ops. The common narrative libs on lemmy use is that they’re russian bots.

                    If you don’t believe that’s what OP meant, why don’t you tell us your interpretation?

                    Oh, in this case I totally misunderstood A and jumped to wrong conclusions. Thanks for correcting me
