The first sentence on the Wikipedia page for it calls it “a disputed medical condition.” Even the CIA itself has admitted that cases are not caused by “a sustained global campaign by a hostile power.” The State Department similarly released a report that it was highly unlikely the symptoms were caused by any sort of directed energy weapon. In fact, seven different US intelligence agencies released a consensus statement saying, “available intelligence consistently points against the involvement of US adversaries in causing the reported incidents.”

But the clowns on .world don’t care about things like truth or evidence, or even direct statements from the people who’s boots they have in their mouths. If it makes an enemy of the US look bad, then it is absolute truth, and anything short of complete faith and loyalty must be purged from conversation.

        We are 3, the two first accounts are the same person. Most of the time there aren’t many reports, but then once in a while a “heated” topic comes up (usually wokism and representation in TV shows) and then you’ll get a few due to bigotry.

        I just don’t know why people aren’t as interested in shows as in movies. [email protected] has 2780 monthly active users, and we have 7 mods there.

        Also, besides the “dealing with the reports” aspects of being a mod, there is also a “building the community”, and for that one I’m mostly alone. Again, a bit surprising seeing how popular that topic should be. On the other hand, [email protected] has no mods at all, so maybe it’s just a trend for the whole topic.

          I think it’s just a lot to do with attention. I like shows more than movies lately, but I don’t have time or inclining to sit and discuss them as well usually.

          And ye, bootstrapping any comm on lemmy is fairly hard.
