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.
Idonno, that someone shares a lot of news articles and doesn’t comment as much doesn’t seem that odd… I agree it’s a bit weird it’s no memes or anything, but I can see lemmy users honestly not doing memes.
I do agree, it smells like astroturfing tho - it is just beyond what a quite normal user would do

I’ve run across one other user who fits the general pattern, the important difference being that they aren’t monomaniacly focused on China bad and Russia bad: @schizoidman@lemmy.zip (previously schizoidman@lemm.ee & schizoidman@lemmy.ml).
