I’m so confused by all 4 of the comments in this thread having poor English, grammar and syntax. I completely get that English isn’t everyone’s 1st language, but very similar errors from four different users in a single comment chain about international affairs just seems kinda sus to me
The similarities are that they’re generic errors, nothing specific. Extra spaces, missing apostrophes, incorrect homophones being used, inappropriate comma usage, missing capitalization. It just seems off in a consistent but subtle way
Well, I for one learned english from reading comics and grammer from a “how to grammer for dummies”, so english is my first and only language but I know im bad at it. I learned if the person reading can correct it, it means they understood the meaning enough. Sorry for bad english.
I suck at spelling and grammar becsuse I moved to a different continent when I was young and started on a very different school curriculum, even just yesterday I told my mom it was right not to push me ahead a year when they didn’t know where to put me because I still feel like I missed stuff.

It’s still the case that users from the US dominate most online spaces, so illiteracy is to be expected. I wouldn’t consider it suspicious on its own.
Legitimately sick burn
Which similar errors did you notice? I didn’t see anything specific, but I’m curious
This space has a larger proportion of non-americans than older social media sites, if that helps explain anything

Legitimately, those are reasons to trust them, not to distrust. Chat bots don’t usually make those mistakes.
Less concern of bots, more concerned about actual human disinformation. Though I suppose that’s almost all AI instead of humans at this point
When it comes to news involving Russia, I assume most people responding to me are Ukrainians using google translate or a similar language translator.
That’s a waste, when they could just write to you in your native Russian
That’s a fair assessment
Hard no, it’s a weirdly biased assumption and you’re both silly.
It’s maybe both the oddest but the most informative thing about the person who wrote it I’ve read today!
