Too many people are confusing the two. Whenever lemmy.ml or its devs do something stupid, people go "Lemmy is getting worse and worse," or "I'm leaving Lemmy," or worse, "I'm leaving for Beehaw."

If you're using Beehaw, then you're using Lemmy. Lemmy is the software these instances run on. If you don't like lemmy.ml, join another instances that have rules that match your philosophy. Some instance hosts authoritarian or fascist shit? Turn to another Lemmy instance. Lemmy.ml is not even the biggest instance. People who just joined and are unfamiliar with the platform will just think the entire Lemmyverse is run by autocratic admins if we don't get our terminology right.

Ukraine they would have done what the US did to Iraq: shock and awe

Is this an attempt to memory-hole something that happened little more than one year ago? Everybody still remembers that this happened, right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Kyiv_(2022)

They did in fact attempt to do "shock and awe" - that's what the thunder run on Ukraine's capital city was all about. Just because they failed doesn't mean they didn't attempt it.
