My participation will be low here for the time being, but this is something that affects all. Brace yourselves.

Additional information that borderline fascistic instances like sopuli.xyz already exist (Finland NATO supporter), and lemmy.one (PrivacyGuides admin) is run by a US/Canada nationalist that defederated Lemmygrad day 1 and calls people here liberals.

    I like the idea behind Lemmy. But before the front-page was taken over by reddit-bad posts, you could see that the flagship instance lemmy.ml is largely used for pro-russian propaganda. And the main developers who also run the instance seems to be very OK with that. I honestly would have issues working with such a person.

    from my experience, the tankies are (mostly) coming from @lemmygard.ml, not lemmy.ml.

    not everyone’s cup of tea.

    Beehaw excludes that instance and has strong moderation for safe spaces. it’s a lovely space. Lemmy.ml is more open, but is not as tolerant to assholery as lemmygrad.ml. and times are… fluid at the moment, so nothing now is how it will be in a day or a week or a month.

    Stay tuned, and best wishes

      I appreciate the irony of coming into a lemmygrad community to complain about tankies and say lemmygrad.ml is “tolerant to assholery”.

        I’m sure you do, but why would I expect a rational counterargument from a reactionary whose ideological existence depends entirely on contrarianism rather than logic? and why would I subject myself to pointless and logical-fallacy-fuelled back-and-forth from you?

        If your position had a sound argument, I would never have had anything to object to. By the tone of your indigent response, I know I can only expect trolling. i stand to gain nothing by engaging such childishness.

        Invading another sovereign nation is wrong (and illegal), and, therefore, Russia is wrong.
