Anything involving a ministry in Russia is not a serious plan. They'll receive funding, hire a couple of bash script writers, well, maybe a couple of people who'll write drivers for Elbrus, Baikal or something that's sort of developed and produced in Russia, but nobody really uses it even in governmental structures.

Do you agree that the CCP was responsible for thousands of deaths during the Tiananmen Square massacre? Do you agree that China is committing genocide against the Uyghurs?

If you agree, think you might agree, or don’t know what the fuck I’m talking about, you shouldn’t be on lemmy.ml

Yes to both. I absolutely despise both country's governments because of their actions. However mirroring the government's actions to individuals living in a country does not seem fair. I fucking hate my country's president, and would celebrate it if he died. Why should I get judged based on his actions?

No one's judging you based on his actions, they're judging you based on your actions. That being to have your account on an instance that supports those actions.

Surely you've realised your instance has a huge pro-russian, pro-china tankie presence?

Lemmy.ml admins me for being against Russia invading Ukraine and committing genocide lmao

If you aren't a tankie, migrating your account could be something to consider.

"Fuck the white supremacist reddit anti-tankie admins", I'll start my own reddit with blackjack and hookers at lemmy.marxist-leninist to host /r/communism - the creator of Lemmy and admin of lemmy.ml.

This is why I was secretly rooting for Aether to take off instead of Lemmy.

And nothing of value was lost

Except their privacy—oh they didn’t have it to begin with.

You can’t lose something you never had

Isn't the point that they like a dictatorial government? Presumably they're okay with their every move being watched.

They weren't kicked out, iirc. Their contributions just aren't automatically merged anymore

And they are all welcome back if they can satisfy the Linux Foundation that they're not affiliated with a sanctioned entity on the SDN list.

But that headline is provocative, it gets people going.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Does it? Russians can't do Russian stuff anymore isn't really controversial.

It is somewhat chucking the baby out with the bath water but I doubt anyone's losing sleep over it.
