Alternatively, you could blockade the tanker about to offload 300,000 tons of Russian diesel in Wilmington NC
3 daysRussia is not using its own datacenters for fedi when they have unpaid western interns to do it for free.
They’re here. Not in the numbers reddit used to have, but they’re here. Occasionally we get a good one too. If you find yourself being argued with unreasonably, there’s a good chance that’s a russian troll. They have a scent.

I immediately went to check that “SaltyAmerican” guy that often gets in my “All” feed and latest post was week ago. 🗿
Nothing gives away a Russian troll posing as an American person like trying really hard to emphasize their “Americanness” - with those “as an American”/“we Americans”.

They had a lot of posts on “Late Stage Capitalism” community, and I suspect that community as a whole may probably be run by Russian trolls. Simply because of a contrast with other lefty communities - like you can have civil conversations in most places, and in there it’s just a perpetual hate boner machine, that just wants to get you upset and angry.
There’s another obnoxious troll that’s similar to yours that is so bad at it, I’m pretty sure he’s an american.

Definitely not American if they use the west unironically

They’ve taken over the Late Stage Capitalism community and have started banning comments that say voting against the GOP is a good thing.
Can confirm- they stopped sending me checks a while ago

.ML users left in shambles.
You know, if they could still access lemmy in general.

Real. I joined it cuz it said it was FOSS focused and run by the creators of Lemmy which I thought was neat. Did not realize it was a tankie cesspool. I’m now banned from a good portion of it for “Nazi apologia” because I said calling Ukraine Nazis was Russian propaganda
Just jump instances. I might have my reservations about how the aversion to monetization means a lot instances are unstable or slow with no real incentives or even funding to improve it but there’s certainly something to be said for decentralization.
I’m glad the instance I chose based on URL ended up being pretty good because sh.itjust.works.
Some people reckon we’re a Nazi instance… shrug emoji.
I’m not sure why - but have read it a few times. If someone in the know could clue me in if there is actually some back lore to the claim I’d appreciate that.

I choose lemmy.world because it was top of the list and I had no idea of anything when I came over from Reddit back then

When I first joined Lemmy 3.5 years ago I almost joined .ml because it was the dev’s instance. I’m glad I chose .ee instead.
I initially thought .ml was literally the TLD for the nation of Mali - so was super confused.
- halcyoncmdr@piefed.socialEnglish3 days
I mean, it is. But it’s one of the TLDs that allows wider use.
Only a few national TLDs require being related to the country, or at least being located in the country.

You may be new enough not to have encountered this yet but our instance has a well earned reputation of being Soviet boot lickers. Be careful on .ml meme subs and stuff, you’ll catch a permaban for saying anything pro Ukraine or in any way interpretable as anti Russia

This sounds like a good time to hop over to .ml and see who the useful idiots are

Marxist Leninist instance. Some users just appear to be paid chinese propagandists.
- 3 days
Yeah they 100% are. The China Show (ADV) on YouTube covers Chinese news every week, 99% of it never reaches Western news. Anyways they have footage of the CCP forcing prisoners on computers being forced to troll an shill CCP propaganda like 18 hours every day off the week.
It’s utterly crazy the money their propaganda machine pays to make people think it isn’t an absolute shit hole.
- 3 days
Wonder what it would be like if they spent the same amount of effort and money making people think it’s not a shithole by making it not a shithole?

You type “i dont think its ok to torture people” as a response to a news article about people being tortured, and somebody pops up with a history lesson about what your country did before you were born so maybe you should firebomb your own capital city instead of saying that other countries shouldn’t commit attrocities etc etc etc its 99% of the time somebody from .ml
And it doesn’t make any sense to begin with what they’re saying. They’ll contradict themselves constantly, had one say the USA is authoritarian then in the next post say such a thing doesn’t exist.

Very visible on 4chan. Anything that would have been pro-Putin is instead just a blacked/NTR thread from India.

Cloudflare services, there was a post about how their data showed a large drop in bot traffic after a Yandex datacenter was hit.
