Don't worry, folks! The tankies from hexbear will be here soon to explain why this is all fake.

With Lemmygrad hot on their heels!
I've stopped recommending Lemmy to friends because of those two instances
You can always recommend they join, but block those two instances. Every place on the internet has trolls to ignore.
You can't block instances, or at least if you can, I haven't figured out how to.
Kbin, Sync, Thunder, etc. all have various levels of blocking (e.g. keywords, user, community, instance, etc.)
You can on kbin and I thought some of the lemmy apps were adding that feature.
Seriously, they sometimes make me regret making an account here. It's tiring.
Try making a post in your instance asking your admins to defederate from those places, if they refuse for some reason, pack your bags to a different instance that will. That's the beauty of federation ^^
Or how this unchecked aggression from Ukraine (which was really just the US and UK in a Scooby-Doo villain mask all along!) will leave poor, defenseless, peaceful Russia no choice but to trigger a worldwide nuclear holocaust.
Did y'all not defederate from them? My instance did.
We definitely need to defederate some instances. They try to downvote every comment and post of mine with bot accounts. Coincidentally, during Russian daytime. 🤔
Same
sopuli.xyz has defederated both Hexbear and Lemmygrad: https://sopuli.xyz/instances
Yay!
Thank you. Might move over there instead.
But then they whine and cry about freedom of speech! Even though the whole point of owning an instance is to be able to decide who to federated/not federate with 🙄
I never understood why some communists would defend a fascist regime. Fascism is their literal arch enemy.
> implying tankies are communists and not rando cultists
They've been brigading like crazy.
the moment they see that Putin can't keep them safe, it's over for him
Upvoted, but people did not turn agains Hitler even during the massive massive bombing raids on major during cities.
The upvote is for hope though.
it's a good point, and it's not helpful to be too optimistic and so on.. but, i really don't think we can compare the two, especially in terms of their respective abilities to inspire their fellow countrymen.. Russia is considerably less secure that way..
there weren't a lot of mercenary armies riding around challenging the Wehrmacht..
I hope that’s the case and that they don’t actually feel anger for the attack and more committed to the war in Ukraine.
all of the zealots are riding around with Prigozhin or dead.. the smart ones got out.. all that's left are cowards.. they won't protect Putin.. this is the problem with the way he does things..
the thing we learned here int he US in the 40s and 50s was that nobody is ever really loyal to a gangster.. and that's all he's ever been..
Good.
Just a preview of what is to come
A trailer
They put in their best rowing times that day
