All of these spaces are permeated with foreign actors. Not all users, but I know a percentage of the users statistically have to be across all the large instances. I’m in tech and we’ve seen fake users appear in public Slack and Discord channels, try to schedule job interviews (it’s happened before), etc. The forces these governments have in tech behind the scenes is enormous, and there is no way to truly know who is and isn’t a state actor on the web.

We need more critical thinking. More separation of person from ideas. People get too hung up on figures.

Except on .ml that "critical thinking" you're talking about is western anti Bolshevik propaganda to them and you'll be banned.

That's the problem with .ml, you just get banned.
