Comment on Why is Lemmy attempting to radicalise people to enforce class wars?

Hmmm, the CIA is against class warfare (in the sense that you are using it here).
Different servers have different communities. You should look at the local timeline of various servers to find a server that perhaps suits you better than lemmy.world
You should also subscribe to communities on various servers to see the kinds of things you enjoy. Like cats or aww. Various birds always seem to have a lot of engagement across the Fediverse.
Class warfare exists whether you engage in it or not. When capital gains is taxed less than salaries for labour, that’s class warfare. When the success of a government is measured by the gains of investments like stocks and real estate rather than the economic circumstances of the majority of the people, that’s class warfare.
There’s a fair history of security services acting as agents provocateur infiltrating socialist and trade union movements to split them apart get evidence or ‘intel’ to imprison leaders. Certainly in the UK that was a part of their union busting tactics. So it is something to be aware of.
I’m not sure that is what is happening on here though. I’m also not sure if that’s what OP was referring to.
It’s the exact thing I meant and didn’t realise I had to be explicit as I thought this would be common knowledge amongst these self-proclaimed worldly people. It happens with any extremist group, terrorist cells or potential threats to the government and where better to obtain such information than online? It’s naive to think world’s governments don’t also have a lemmy presence.
Yes I think i tended towards the latter view because I just don’t see much real world action or organising going on here.
But some of the stuff posted does seem a bit sus - it’s almost a caricature. Even quite radical people usually have some ability to reason or engage in moderate discussion.
I guess it doesn’t cost law enforcement much to keep an eye on this, and I’m sure lots of the terms used will flag in their webcrawlers and such.
A few spooks and a few bots can probably do quite a lot across a lot of different social media so really not hard for them to have some presence here for minimal effort.

PS the Fediverse in general skews a bit older. It’s generally the more tech savvy people that have become exhausted by big tech platforms.

Precisely. I’m a millennial, and this place has a decidedly millennial vibe. Linux nerds, privacy advocates, people seeking an alternative to the slop of mainstream social media. I would imagine people under 25 are a rarity here.
