why has trump two different pfps

This is standard geopolitics. You find dissatisfied people in the population of countries you don’t like, and then you support those people in various ways in order to destabilize your competitors.

no, not really, it's only the last 20-30 years and mostly used like this by russians (also includes things like setting up conspiracy theory websites without obvious ideological tilt (at first), maybe to groom suggestible population for later use). the old way was to try to bring these people to your cause, not just to try to cause non-directed disorder

that's a couple more Backfires that could be guessed from previous publicly available information

slightly more seriously: lots of lemmy users came from reddit, but mostly from older demographic (because of old reddit phaseout) and more FOSS-oriented, privacy-aware, tech-literate part (because of API shitshow/alternative apps blockage). there's some barrier to entry (choice of instance) that would filter off the least technical users. there are some prominent programming oriented fedi servers (programming.dev, infosec.exchange). lemmy in general seems to be more lefty than reddit, less americacentric, and i guess that over half are linux users. i suspect that because of combination of technical skill and older age (compared to reddit) lots of lemmitors have well paying technical jobs (again compared to reddit) which allows/requires them to live in nicer parts of their countries (not specifically cali)
