No it doesn’t as a whole (...)

I hope you @pancake@lemmy.ml are right. Answers to my (this) post are not numerus enough to draw conclusions.
As of now : 2022-03-08 ~19h20 UTC
in my view, your answer is the best, yet the least upvoted.
Most upvoted answer is from :
"Frick NATO" ~Farmer_Heck.@.lemmygrad..ml~
... yet, it has to be dismissed because :
.1) user not from lemmy.ml
.2) comment not answering the question
... as those votes go, this looks bad for anti-war.

1st question in my post stems from : memes adressing Ukraine war :
pro-war votes : 12 up 20 down
anti-war votes : 7 up 9 down

Since I want to make one single complete answer, i am now adressing :
@marmulak@lemmy.ml : thanks 👍

@overflow64@lemmy.ml Dear overflow, censorship often happen in times of war, mainly to protect lives ... it's imposed now in Russia.

Edit : 2022-03-09 ~8h utc : it has been trolling under this very post, despite the fact i was not calling it before ! Could it be automated text generator bot ?

I feel like your reasoning to disregard me is flawed at best. It doesn't matter if my account is from lemmy.ml or lemmygrad.ml, that's why we federate, so instances can participate with each other's content.

As well, my comment was asking for more information because "is lemmy.ml approving war on Ukraine" isn't enough information for people to know what exactly you want to be answered. Do you want to know how the community on lemmy.ml feels about the war? do you want to know the official admin/dev stance on the war? Are you wanting to know if people are supportive of the war itself, or a faction of the war? Is the inverse of that question what you want, to know if people are against the war in its entirety, or just against a faction? You didn't clarify that at all. Also the body text "Should it be shut down a few months if it is ?" is nonsensical. What do you mean by "shut down", why would you think it needed to be "shut down"? Again, not enough information for an answer.

This post likely did poorly because you didn't provide the information people need to know what you needed from them, my comment getting 5 upvotes (that are visible to me, sometimes federation is weird about not showing votes. also with mine subtracted from the total) proves that people agreed that you failed to provide information.
