  Actually i’ll guarantee that was it. 14 days ago I was making fun of hexbear users defending russia’s war crimes in the memes /c/ of all places…

    They’re campists; they can’t understand any level of moral complexity.

    Anyone who opposes the US is inherently good, because surely the west is the only one that can be imperialistic.

    I’m kinda not surprised the FOSS community would end up on a communist instance, I’m actually considering just blocking the entire .ML instance at this point.

    I’m so sick of seeing them having a tantrum every time YouTube tries to make them either pay for the service, or watch ads.

      I have a feeling it was more of “that wad the biggest instance when we all got started here so we all just stayed here”. The prime-mover advantage for lemmy.world and lemmy.ml is pretty severe and it still shows in user counts/activity. It’s just gotten more obvious over time what lemmy.ml admins (and by extension the developers of the platform) really support.

    Okay can someone please point me to a real, physical, existing example of this happening? I’ve got multiple accounts on multiple instances from when the servers I used were less stable and not once on any of them have I ever seen a single person defend Russia or China politically.

    Not trying to be decisive it just comes up a lot and at this point feels like a red scare tactic

      Ah, but it’s never happened to me, personally, so there’s no way that’s true!

      That’s how you sound.

        Don’t make fun of someone asking for a source. That’s called critical thinking.

      I had about 6 in my inbox at one time, but they’ve all been lost to the winds of fediverse moderation at this point.

      A vast majority of instances have defederated from hexbear/lemmygrad/etc by now. So you dont see nearly as much of them outside of the main lemmy.ml communities…

      If you really are curious. Take a scroll through some of the comments on hexbears “dunk tank” like so.. See how long you can read before closing the tab out of disgust. Most of them are commenting completely unironically…

      Really? It’s everywhere over there.

        I haven’t seen it personally, maybe I just run in different circles but I’ve asked to be directed to an example on 3 occasions now and never once has one been provided.

        Not saying it isn’t happening, would just like some proof that it’s not just a band wagon
