Fair enough, I see your point. Thanks for explaining.

That does nothing to solve the problem. I want to see the Fediverse succeed.
I’m considering leaving the fediverse altogether
I’ve had moments where I considered it too, because of all the tankies and propaganda, but I’m still here because I really want to see it succeed.
Unfortunately, I won’t even admit to anyone that I use it, let alone recommend it. I think from a rational outside perspective, the unfiltered Fediverse is an extremist echochamber. Some of the things that get said and heavily upvoted are wild.
I’ve had death threats multiple times from Hexbear users, and I’ve abandoned an account because Lemmy.ml users followed me around and downvoted everything I posted (which was mostly memes at the time).
We can’t expect people to deal with all of that when there’s already a relatively steep learning curve when joining. There’s no corporation running the show to fight propaganda, we have to deal with it, or the Fediverse is at risk of going the way of Voat.
More like another Afghanistan, like the one the broke the USSR.
Except Russia has already lost ten times as many troops in a fifth of the time.
Shrimps is bugs, whales is whales
Weird to see a non-biased post about this conflict with a respectable news source on Lemmy.
They’re not even really Marxists/communists, it’s a facade for propaganda.
Yeah, theres a lot of propaganda and people fighting about it.
My point is to give you an alternative to polluting threads with “I’m saving this” comments. Consider other people.
If all you have to go on is years of education, better to just call it “years of education” rather than pretending you’re actually measuring education. Having Russia in the same category as the Nordic countries is ridiculous.
There should be an option to save posts instead.
What do you mean specifically when you say “the media”?
Yes I think you’re right about the Kremlin’s approach: they exacerbate weaknesses that are already there.
They understand Kremlin oppression.
Yes fair enough
Should have happened 6 months ago
If someone invaded your country and started murdering people you’d want to win the war.
I think this is too nuanced for lemmy.ml to handle, they prefer black and white
