Ukraine

Active? Does it count downvotes as activity?

What IS the default option now? I changed mine to new, so I see everything no matter how much they downvote it.

Eh. I get a bunch of downvotes every time I post on lemmy.world/c/conservative even if Im just posting the text of a law.

I think that some here are just very liberal with the downvote button.

Also possible!

The tankie unifying ideology is something closer to “everything that is anti-US is good” rather than a coherent narrative about something that actually unifies historical or current communist dictatorships. So there tends to be a fair amount of Russian simping or Russia/US both-sides equivocation.

Dude. Who knows? They don't make the slightest amount of sense. Tanky is more just anti-west than anything meaningful now. They're braindead.

It's pure tribalism at that level, nothing to do with logic or even principles.

In that specific tribe Russia = Good, US = Bad, always and with no case-by-case analysis.

(Mind you, I did once turned a tankie away from that by pointing out that Russia's Invasion of Ukraine was the same kind of thing as the US' second invasion of Iraq so it made sense to judge the invaders in both exactly in the same way. Granted this was back in the early days of the invasion and I reckon that anybody who still remains pro-Russia now is either an authoritarian at hearth or a brainless unprincipled parrot).

They do, but the federation can be spotty.

It just takes time for it to percolate through. They do federate, but you'll see it happen in groups later, not one at a time instantly.

They're gonna have to ban all the instances because it's just gonna keep existing in the fediverse.

Hail Hydra!

Lol, so much bullshit coming out of Russia

Would Hetzner (a French company?) really shutdown the instance's server if the operator won't delete the offending post though? I assume it's safe to ignore the deletion request from the Russian government agency as long as you're not a Russian?
