I updated my comment so hopefully it’s clearer. Its well documented that Russia and China use social media to spread FUD, which undoubtedly includes the fediverse.
This part is conjecture: it seems likely that the fediverse is an entry point for FUD because the lack of moderation and the large number of users sympathetic to their cause.
Are you implying FUD is a conspiracy theory? Or that FUD exists on the fediverse is a conspiracy theory? Or that the recent “vote uncommitted movement is FUD” is the conspiracy theory?
Regardless, I’m not dismissing the vote uncommitted opinion, and I certainly don’t dislike it. Even if the “vote uncommitted” movement is Russian FUD I’m all in on it, and I’m even committed to taking it a step further because I’m so upset about the Joe Biden’s extreme facists policies.
you’re theorizing that there is a conspiracy.
Which part is the theory?

That was an example of how FUD works. I can see why you think state sponsored FUD is a conspiracy that doesn’t exist.
your example isnt fact: it’s a theory about how a conspiracy could be trying to influence people on the fediverse.

It’s utterly convenient that your conspiracy theory allows you to dismiss those whose opinions you don’t like.

“vote uncommitted movement is FUD” is the conspiracy theory
I’m saying that every time you see someone who doesn’t support genocide, you immediately jump to “they must be Russian!”
