What they seem to have in common is: - Way more posts than comments. - Almost
exclusively posting news articles. - The vast majority of the articles are
critical of Russia or China. - Virtually always posting to the same few
communities. Often there’s overlap in the communities the accounts target. -

Whether or not you consider it “disinfo,” doesn’t it smell rather like astroturf? Note that !europe@lemmy.dbzer0.com is one of the targeted communities.
it will always amaze me how several users just have the time to post news articles CONSTANTLY. it’s to the point that ive started blocking users just because 5 different people will post the same articles about an event, all to their own selection of 5 communities (with some overlap) all of which get shown on the all feed. it also doesn’t help that I don’t generally come to Lemmy to get depressed from recent news when I already get plenty of that from coworkers and family.
this is not to say that I think its necessarily unhealthy to have such power users, its just very… very… very… not my cup of tea
upon looking again, it does concern me that these people all stopped posting around similar times, which in my eyes seem to be between trump’s election results and him actually coming into power. could totally be paranoia though this is all just speculation

I don’t take issue with power posters per se, just ones that are indistinguishable from glowies.
