    I have noticed that if you say anything bad about snowden on reddit or now the Fediverse, you quickly get down-voted a lot. I am starting to think this is coordinated somehow.

      He’s a whistleblower. Corrupt corpos/countries hate whistleblowers. Reddit/Lemmy users hate corrupt corpos/countries. There.

      It’s as easy as that, no need to bring out conspiracies.

        You are probably right. It’s just the speed and amount that got me thinking otherwise. Lemmy is a lot more popular then I thought.

      Deploy our great bot army!

      For what purpose, Sir?

      Downvote any post on any social media platform that is critical of Snowden!

      As you command, SIr!

      It’s not coordination when sheep decide to bleat the same thing based off headlines. Most people want to believe he wasn’t a mole because that fits the little guy hero narrative better.

        This sheep has never seen anyone provide any kind of evidence for such claims.

          He could not have gained access from his position to the data compiled. His story on how he did doesn’t add up to anyone with security clearance. The real way it was accomplished isn’t going to be divulged either. The NSA isn’t going to publicly explain whatever avenue was found.

                That’s how security clearance works bro

                I get that, but it doesn’t change this statement.

                This sheep has never seen anyone provide any kind of evidence for such claims.

                Trust me bro isn’t evidence. It doesn’t mean you are wrong, it means you are a random person claiming to have inside knowledge but providing nothing but your word.

                That’s how evidence works bro.
