I was just reading this post https://old.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1gmv76n/is_reddit_going_to_remain_the_primary_space_for/ and many barely see the fediverse as an alternative and they seem to have a negative bias towards it. Super ironic when it comes to the self-hosting community. Yes, some instances are problematic, yes, some devs might have had problematic views. But it doesn’t really matter when it’s federated and FOSS. I think it’s clear-cut that the selfhosting community on Lemmy is a perfect alternative to reddit. Why is there such a negative bias?
Of course, they support the killing. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t glorify Mao; a mass murders and an authoritarian scumbag.
Yes, they do wish Ukrainians death. They support the russian invasion and the russian occupation. The instance is rife with cheering for the russian army.
The NATO stuff is a ruse. Just a way to cover their support for genocidal imperialism. Ukraine was neutral … wait for it … before the russians invaded.
That thread is a cesspool of support russian genocidal imperialim.
This basically means we want russia to win to conduct more atrocities likes in Bucha. Just wild uncontrolled killing of civilians, rape and destruction. And Bucha is just one example that got in the news. There are mass graves in Izyum. Russians targeting civilians with drones in Kherson. Russians bombing a children’s cancer hospital with cruise missile.
But no, NATO made them do it! And not a word about russian atrocities.
You do know how to use web search, right? You’re just going to say some non-sequitur about NATO and bla bla bla or that it’s all made up.

That’s not what I asked though.
We both agree that lemmygrad actively support the russian invasion of Ukraine. They cheer on the invasion and call for russian military success? Is this not true?
I asked you why I shouldn’t hate them for it? Nothing to do with being no better them or whatever. I asked why I shouldn’t hate people who support the invasion of my country and wish me harm?
Let’s see what they actually say.
Well, I’m not sure how you’re interpreting this from the link I provided. You just making up their statements. I don’t want to have to cite their comments every time just to provide a counter-claim.
AP is a credible source, and there’s no doubt that Russian forces have harmed civilians. However, the claim that all Ukrainians who speak their language are imprisoned is questionable. For instance, Chechen is an official language in Russia despite two wars with Russia. Additionally, Russia provides citizenship to all Ukrainians, why would they imprison people for their native language? The article you referenced cites Radio Svoboda, which has ties to the CIA, so it’s not a reliable source.
I think my answer is correct. You’re accusing them of supporting murder, yet you wish harm upon them yourself. If you prefer analogies, it’s like condemning murder while being guilty of it yourself.
I told you would downplay russian atrocities and come up with some CIA word salad. You’ve never been to Ukraine, you don’t speak Ukrainian and you dare lecture me and tell me that russian invasion is not that bad?
Get fucked, you vile tankie! I hope the very atrocities you deny will catch up to you one day!
