Why must you be so bigoted to Daddy Vlad? He just wants to bring peace and love to his brothers in Ukraine. And many other countries. And the peace and love travels fastest via hypersonic missiles, artillery shells, and Iranian drones.

I’m afraid I won’t be able to join the boycott since I’ve already been doing this for a year.

Make sure you follow davel’s links where he is absolutely sure that no one Russian is doing propaganda anywhere else on the internet or had anything to do with getting Trump elected. He can tell you all about it.

Also, it has nothing to do with anything, but randomly looking at this community reminded me: There is actually a fair question in one sense about whether what China is doing to the Uyghurs can be considered genocide. The reason? Well, they are sterilizing people, forcing abortions, separating children from their parents, destroying religious sites, forcibly “re-educating” people into an different culture than their native one, and otherwise fulfilling a lot of the components of genocide. But, they also do the exact same things to people of every ethnicity under their control including Han Chinese. So a person wouldn’t be totally off their rocker to say “Sure, for any other country in the world that would be explicit genocide meeting several key criteria, but in China’s case it has literally nothing to do with the ethnicity, they just like human rights violations! And they’re applying them impartially.”

I have not had the chance to raise this with one of the pro-China tankies, but if it ever comes up I will report the results.

Blatant PTB.

I honestly don’t know why more instances haven’t just defederated from that shithole. Everyone left Hexbear and Lemmygrad for the exact same shit .ml is pulling. And if the reason is that they’re too big to defederate from, then I think you need to reexamine what lemmy means to you to begin with. Because that kind of flies in the face of the purpose of a fediverse- at least as I understand it.

Admins, get on with it. The only people that want to remain federated with that den of gremlins are the people that have alt characters there.

I can’t decide what’s more entertaining: the admins on ml or cm0002’s crazy obsession with them.
