There is a recent desant of Russian trolls attacking Ukraine, with some of them even blatantly saying they support Putin and some others trying to put into doubt evidence of Russian crimes (kidnapping children etc.)

I have been banned from world by @little_cow@lemmy.world for calling one of them out. Also both of my comments, the one in the screenshot and another one where I explain to another user that he is arguing with paid Russian troll have been removed.

    accusing someone

    It is not an accusation if it is based on facts.

    which isn’t nice

    🤦

      It is not an accusation if it is based on facts.

      This statement is simply false.

      Accusations can be backed up by facts. They’re still accusations. Facts can make accusations more convincing, but they don’t stop being accusations when facts are provided.

      What facts it’s based on?

      Sir, this is lemmy, we already have a lot of users who sounds like paid trolls, this platform is too small to be targeted by some psyop, I would guess they are simply stupid/delusional/tankie than to be a paid russian agent.

      Your comment was against the rules of the community. Use the report button, bring it to fediverselore, whatever, but that doesnt change the very simple fact here - you broke the rules.

      Thats the only context that matters relative to your ban.

      Edit: wad/was. I wasn’t talking about Doom, I promise.

      What facts do you have to prove what you said? Do you have my bank transactions? Do you have any communication between me and the Russian government?

      Appearing to be is not the same as being. If you have evidence of being, share with the class.
