Yep, but see what happened this week? France is a stupid country to try and get on your side from Russian perspective. They will always get drunk, revolt and then do a threesome with your women after they’re finished chopping the head off the invaders.

I think Vladdy knows that the threat of war is much more of a nuisance to Europe than actually fighting and losing soldiers. This is just for threat posturing at borders.

The real war is being fought with unmarked soldiers, unsuspicious russian cargo vessels, heavily propagandising one country (Hungary), while leaving others virtually alone (France) to saw division, etc.

Nobody wins a war from the west. They know they have to go asymmetric, and they are, and the longer it takes Europe to realise that, the longer they will suffer. They also know wars are over 50% psychological.

RIP USA.

Considering everything he’s done in less than 4 months, I’d expect him to finish up within the next few weeks. April 20th sounds good to me.

That’s great buddy. Just add the links for those you can verify, remove the ones you don’t know for sure and stop turning something that could be factual and useful into a 20 season tv drama nobody asked for

The link you’ve provided proves my point. I suggest you look at the date last updated at the very beginning of the article.

Your entire response is whataboutism of the finest degree.

Australian has not even made the LGBTQ warning, The Netherlands and Belgium have, and you could link those.

And now that you’ve disproven yourself re Australia I’m sure you’ll stop including it in your upvote seeking copypasta.

Finally yes nobody should travel to USA at this point, but this is about you spreading misinformation.

Dude, stop posting this comment. It is wildly inaccurate. There is no travel advisory from Australia everything is hunky-dory.

Either turn the country names into hyperlinks linking to the travel advisory or stop spreading misinformation.

This gives people a false sense that countries are standing up to the US where in reality that isn’t happening yet. I’ve just finished studying the climate for nearly 20 years and I’m done with hopium.

I’m the same, I don’t care about the karma aspect, I do care when it is strategically used by hidden interests to keep certain content ranked lower and push content they like up.

That’s a nice analogy.

I wouldn’t worry as much about Alt-Right conservatives here - they tried but couldn’t get a foothold, and after being defederated from all instances eventually collapsed internally, and went to Truth Social. Here, we ironically have much more to worry about from the Alt-Left that uses identical patterns of behaviors, just ostensibly on the “left”.

I’d love to learn more about this story. Who is alt-left? How do they behave?

Australia here. Nah mate. We love Uncle Sammy. Even if Trump came to speak in our Parliament and took off his diaper and forced our poor opposition leader to lick his arse clean while the prime minister changes him, we still wouldn’t say a single fckn swearword about the cunts.

Cool, I think I understand it better now.

So an r/TheDonald situation on Lemmy would effectively mean this community can exist forever until it is just lonely sitting by itself defederated from every other instance in the lemmyverse (fediverse?). So it is impossible to basically shut something like that down on a global scale, only to North Korea it. (At which point, as the analogy goes, they are forced to send their soldiers to help with the Russians and find a way to make trouble that way)

I suppose that’s a fair price to pay for decentralisation. Thanks for the responses.

I think it’s clear that the answer to that is not enough, so why don’t you point me towards the nearest library with a Lemmy history section?

Ty. That stuff should be available in mobile clients too. It could definitely be better visually represented and contain a reason and a defederated since date or more.

Also an explanation that addresses my other example about downvote brigading a tertiary instance.

Thx. I saw the rule. @ mods I’m fine if you want to remove this.

I think federation needs to be better explained possibly here either with a sticky or sidebar. And a diagram of who we are federated with and not that’s live updated would be helpful too.

Thanks for all the work you guys do

Ok thanks. I’m a little confused by what that means for voting. Is it possible that anti authoritarian posts or comments still get downvote- brigaded by an instance that is technically defederated from the instance of the OP?

So let’s say instance A and B are defederated from each other, but both are with instance C. User from A posts something on C and every B user still gets to downvote everything to oblivion right?

So .ml is effectively r/TheDonald and we can’t do much against brigading?

I don’t remember. I didn’t post it. I saved it, and then it was gone.

Lol

Ok, perhaps I don’t. Can you explain what people mean when they call for “defederating from” an instance then?

Well argued.

I didn’t post it, I just saved it somewhere on .ml and it is gone, and found it back on [email protected]

My question stands though, I sense that “political” is used fairly broadstrokely It almost means “complicated, longer than 5 second attention span” stuff.

With political meaning “relating to the government or public affairs of a country”, e.g. a broad definition too. However, a free person being essentially abducted on the street by plain clothes “law enforcement” could perhaps be seen as a humanitarian, civil liberty, freedom of speech, and some many others before it being just “political”.

Is there a guideline on Lemmy why we let the tankies be part of this or is a bit of an analogy to the r/TheDonald situation on Reddit? As in: I hope that we don’t slide the same way.

I’m not complaining about bans. I’m trying to have a debate on why tankie-land needs to be part of this?
