I can't fathom watching Russian media today. It generally helps that i don't watch TV and don't read the news. Since like 5 years ago I developed a brain filter against all native media, memes, Habr, groups, education. All this coloring rarely makes sense to me, so I'm really just swimming in English-speaking Internet.

Despite all that, I find good people on Russian Mastodon: no propaganda, no ***-licking, no bullying. Can't care much for Russian media though, even with Meduza and alike existing behind VPN... I'm trying my best to avoid federal zombification channels and VK. Even though it's unrelated to media, I'll just take this opportunity and say that there are a lot of dumb people on VK and a lot of war propaganda. 🆘
