If nobody is renting out family homes, there will be no family homes to rent. Many people prefer to rent their home.

Damn look at that HAT, must have taken 50 beavers to make that thing

What if we just accidentally (completely by accident OK??) shoved him off a building instead?

As with many things, its complex. A couple reasons:

• Propaganda on social media uses immigration as a wedge issue to divide people. For example, the Kremlin wants to get people angry about immigration AND angry about people trying to stop immigration. “They’re coming to eat your pets” and “anti-immigrant peoppe are all hateful racists”
• The planet is overpopulated. We’re running out of land and resources, and that makes people worried and protective of their territory.

I don’t promote promote Lemmy to anyone because of all the propaganda. Lemmy.ml, Hexbear, etc

I will if it ever gets cleaned up, I love the idea of the fediverse

Lil woorgi

I ate some hippies, plastics’ natural enemies.

I’ve been eating plastic straws nonstop for days and I’m pretty sure I just levitated for a couple seconds

What motive?

Kremlin social media disinformation campaign causing civil unrest

they love defending authoritarianism more than they like leftist economics.

They’re not paid to like leftist economics.

Of course, and neither Russia nor China are communist.

A lot of it isn’t actually communists, but a facade for spreading authoritarian propaganda.

I don’t want governments controlling what we see, hear, and say.

Might want to find a new instance

Because the Fediverse is a great target for propaganda, which is invaluable for some authoritarian countries.

Lemmy is an echochamber with relatively limited, uncoordinated moderation. 1,000,000+ monthly active users, and lemmy.ml is a flagship instance.

It’s a bummer. I love the idea of the Fediverse but it’s having some propaganda growing pains.

new name but nothing has changed

Seems to me like they’ve integrated with the Russian Mafia and taken over the Kremlin. Isn’t Putin the first KGB leader?

Hard disagree, they’re here and able to operate relatively freely with no central admin fighting disinformation.

They’re not delusional, they’re paid.

Huge mystery where they’re coming from… really nobody even has a good guess.

Could be from the Kremlin, could be from the Kremlin through a 3rd party. Hell, it could even be from the Kremlin.
