    You mean like how the one guy who disagrees and thinks Biden should step down went up 8 points in the last 2 minutes and we all went down?
    Yeah I noticed that too.

      I’m a real person downvoting you because you’re delusional. This is a massively wide concern reflected in polls and being expressed by Democratic cheerleaders like Pod Save America. I have a hard time believing any of you live in a world so insulated that you think this is just trolls and media manipulation.

        The only polls that matter are Biden vs Trump, and those haven’t really changed post-debate.

          Sentiment polls absolutely do matter when the question is whether the sentiment is only coming from trolls and biased media.

        I know Finland isn’t exactly friendly with Russia, but the fact that you argue this from an instance run by someone a hop and a skip from Moscow is a beautiful irony…

        All trolls, no, but given the notorious prevalence of media manipulation seen out of the region it’s a given that some not insignificant portion of the loudest voices are here looking to cause trouble.

          Wait, do you actually think everyone on a Finnish instance is from Finland? That’s really really stupid.

            I’ve had people think since my mastodon account ends in todon.eu they think I’m like a secret agent, but too stupid to notice that the .eu would give me away. It’s Qanon-level of thinking, of how there’s secret clues everywhere that only they can see but the shadow cabal left them there for the truthers to find.

              All the best Russian influence agents join servers that are in close proximity to their office. I moved from lemmy.world to sopuli after .world’s performance was unreliable because they seemed to have a reasonable block list and were in the goldilocks zone of neither too big nor too small. And my mastodon account is hosted on an EU server because I don’t think the US has good data privacy rules. Turns out internet services still work when it’s overnight in their home time zone.
