I mean, I wasn't expecting to quit Reddit and Twitter at the same time, but here we are.
I really only used Twitter to get updates on the Ukraine war. Now that the posts have basically stopped, there’s no point in going there.
There are some good Telegram accounts for this if you want an alternative to Twitter, perhaps there are fedi options too but I'm unfortunately unaware if so
Lemmy has quite a few as does mastodon i believe
Can you share the lemmy communities?
On my phone so I can't list them but I found every single one by searching "ukraine" in the lemmy and mastodon searches
Would you mind sharing some? 😃

Sounds obvious in hindsight 🙈 thanks!
Yep, I’m sure there are. I just had a consistent view from the 3 people I looked at on Twitter. The Telegram channels are often fraught with propaganda from either side and I’d like to avoid it as much as possible. We’ll see if this stuff blows over in the near term
The Reddit side isn’t very useful. The comments are especially bad on those. Like the /r/Ukraine subreddit - way too pro Ukraine and has some of the most moronic takes.
I never really used twitter but the few accounts I’ve seen that follow the war were also very pro-Ukraine. What is a good source for an accurate picture of what’s happening (I’m not looking for pro-Russian, either, fuck Russia)?
I follow Kofmanmichael and RALee85. They’re pro Ukraine but they give more realistic views of what’s happening without a lot of thé propaganda. They are happy to criticize Ukraine when it’s doing something wrong as well which is good to see. I think Michael works for CNA and Rob works for FPRI. I’ll also follow some of the accounts they retweet from time to time as they tend to be good sources as well (Tatarigami_UA and Defmon3).
Who the fuck wouldn't be pro Ukraine bruh
You completely missed the point
