I’m starting to think Lemmy’s federation system is amazing at fostering communitarianism and even extremism.
What are you bringing to this topic apart from a fairly toxic même that just creates more rift between people ? Is it much better than an actual Russian bot ?
But discrediting someone’s opinion by just posting this meme is NOT toxic ?
So it’s toxic to assume someone might be a Russian bot but it is not toxic to disregard the opinion of everybody that said that ?
You know there are bots online. Maybe not much here but there was definitely many on Reddit. So bots are real but someone that points out a bot must be wrong.
The image in OP is what is toxic. Fostering a kind of echo chamber where the people who disagree with the prevailing narrative and bring reasoned arguments that contradict it get written off as “foreign agents” is extremely toxic, also nationalistic, and often borderline racist. It’s also childish. Pointing out how childish it is to tell someone “you’re just a RuSsIaN bOt!” because you don’t like what they have to say is definitely not toxic, quite the opposite.

It’s pretty toxic to call people that disagree with you robots in the first place. That’s the original toxic discourse.

This is weird.
Yes, it’s not toxic to point out that calling everyone you disagree with a bot is toxic.
Are you referring to the meme itself, or the comment you’re replying to?
Wheres civility when you need them? Civility where are you?
Definition?

That’s right folks, you heard it from this anonymous Lemmy account yourself: Russian Propaganda doesn’t exist.
Relying on calling your opponent a bot for opposing genocide is failed logic.
Doesn’t change the fact that the Russian propaganda machine is in full swing since they started the war in the sovereign nation of Ukraine.
We encounter them daily here, mostly from tankie instances like your hexbear.
Do you have any proof, or are you just further proving them correct?
