I recently made the decision to unsubscribe from the vast majority of ML communities I was in. They've been getting a lot more obnoxious as of late, both in terms of the normal users as well as the mods getting more heavy-handed.
Honestly, I recommend everybody consider it for themselves, as well. If you have communities hosted on ML, it might be a good idea to start migrating elsewhere, because I see them quickly becoming defederated from a lot of instances soon with the way they're progressing.
Same. I’m “boycotting” lemmy.ml if you will. Not contributing a single, comment, upvote, or subsciber count, to posts and communities on an instance that supports Russian and Chinese imperialism.
What did you do, have an unapproved opinion? Did you refuse to bow down to the DEI masters? Are you not willing to treatfediverse people as delicate children? Did you prove someone's statement is false with references and verified documents?
I supported the banning of Russians on the Linux kernel. I also pointed out that Russia's invasion of Ukraine was unprovoked and unjustified.
Somehow I don't think they liked my opinion. I've had my fill of Lemmy.ml and I'm trying to move off of it completely. It appears I'm not totally banned from Lemmy.ml but that probably will change in a heartbeat.
By all means, support it. It will be good for the Russian government, as well as motivate awareness of geopolitical concerns among programmers. 🤠 Just like the sanctions, you NATOids are too arrogant to notice you're helping the Kremlin and pushing them to the east.
Ah yeah I engaged in that discussion as well. Only got a comment deleted though. lemmy.ml gets wilder and wilder, they are openly tolerating support for Russias invasion of Ukraine at this point.
I do not support Ukraine because of being the most corrupt country, at the very least in Europe. I've also heard various people say they need to defend to protect the global banking system. Watch videos of citizens in Ukraine, nobody is getting a part of the $150 billion, it's goijg into people bank accounrs.
If possible, I want Russia to lose and Ukraine to lose. It is a tyrannical gangster at war with mass corruption. Evil vs evil.
