There are people on Lemmy… call them what you want. Wumao, paid actors, whatever. They are here to crush the west. One tactic they are currently using is to post comments as bait, and then edit their own comments to change the narrative, making the other person look like they are meaning something else. Then they report the comments and get that person banned so they cannot continue speaking out against China.
I’m telling you this because you’re a moderator. I mean only for you to be aware of the situation when you wrap that gavel.
If you’re ever unsure who is who, just ask them to confirm the genocide in China. It’s like a magical way to get them to reveal themselves.

I’ve seen pro Russian trolls and pro China trolls, and yeah, generally that’s what I do. Engage and give them enough rope to hang themselves.
However, that being said, accusing people of being bots or paid state actors violates the civility rules and will also be removed.
If you think someone is disingenuous, report them. That gets them on the radar of both the mods and the admins.
Calling someone what they are is not uncivil. It’s the way to draw them out.
You can start with Linkerbaan
Again, against the rules of the community. See the sidebar.
Linkerbaan has been banned from Politics, World News, and News by three separate mods, including me.
They are posting just fine to news@ 🤷♂️
News might have been a temp ban then, not sure, I’m not a mod on news.

Also, are reports public? Because they knew the report text, so if it’s not public then they are a mod.
Reports aren’t public. So while I can see reports of the groups I mod, I can’t see others.
Admins can see everything.
Well then they are an admin on world. Pretty shady.
