The City of Light has been hailed as a refuge and sought by outcasts long before the events of Season 3. The people who joined weren't brainwashed, and I don't recall ALIE being anything but straight forward about everything.

It is only after ALIE gained the ability to leave the mansion and began her struggle to save humanity leftovers before the end, that Jaha taught her how to go around free will and manipulate his people.

Btw while ALIE had hive mind like abilities, I wouldn't say that the individuals that were linked to her were thinking, feeling, and seeing as one.
