Every Country That Has Their Own Lemmy Instance
-
Luxembourg is landlocked, it's not their fault.
But we have the Uewersauer lake!

It should be noted that Feddit.org was included to represent Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
I did not include Baraza.africa as that was too encompassing as it covers the whole African continent.
Hopefully this post inspires more countries to join the blue club!
What's the US one?

Guten Tag

Quite surprised to see Ukraine doesn't have its own instance
-
No Greece? Also no India, Indonesia and Japan? Damn that's unexpected.
The is a Greek sub, with a few news posts daily, but noone is really commenting yet.
I had left the Greek sub on Reddit a few years back because the mods were assholes, so I don't really miss a Greek sub to be honest.

Are we talking "nations that have an official Lemmy instance" or "nations in which some private citizen or resident just happens to host a Lemmy instance?"

No, the French were not peace keeping, and no just because whites left does not mean they're now Russian vassals.
Stop defending colonialism.
Mentioning the French troops was a bit offtopic. But my point stands. Mali is a semi-failed state that seems to have exchanged one set of foreign lords for another, much worse, set.

It’s on the website now.
Wow, not sure if you did something or it was there all along... But I used to search for it by language. And the language is not there anymore
But seriously, thank you.

Given how the French acts in its colonies... There isn't a worse set. You either truly have no understanding of how evil the French have been in their colonies right up to modern day, or are under the assumption the oppressed aren't smart enough to make their own decisions, which would make you racist.
You don't get to decide what the colonized do after shaking off oppression. And it's no surprise they stop cooperating with western society given how absolutely evil it is in their eyes. To you Russia is this evil imperial power. To an actual foreign colony of an evil imperial power, it is less evil than their previous owners, if only because it's not their previous owners.
Maybe that ends poorly, maybe not, but when you've been oppressing people for decades they get to a point where killing themselves is better than continuing to do anything that doesn't actively harm you.
You know those 'woke' people that always go on about the colonizer mindset? They're talking about you.

Don't bother, he's a pro-china anti-western shill, his comment history is a mess

Firstly, the French troops were invited by Mali's government to help it put down its jihadist insurgents. The Russian ones were invited, in turn, for the same reason, after a media-propaganda campaign by Russia that played on historic animosity dating from the colonial period. A propaganda campaign filled with angry rhetoric and sounding much like your rant.
Meanwhile, Mali is still a semi-failed state with a jihadi problem which was caused by neither France nor Russia. And on top of that it now has brutal boorish Russian mercenaries instead of generally well-behaved French regular soldiers. Mali got a terrible deal and it was their own fault.
You know why I'm not embarrassed to say that? Precisely because I'm not a colonialist. I believe that Mali is not a child, it's an adult. It has agency, it's not a colony of anyone, it's a sovereign country that can make choices for itself. If anyone's views here are colonialist, it's yours.

What's the US one?
Lemmy.world

Lemmy.world
Oh, I thought their server was located in a different country. It's a bad idea to have a server in a location that the US government has authority over.
-
That’s about the same amount we have in BC. Norway must be crowded.
Not sure if I missed a joke or not. But no, Norway is far from crowded.

Lemmy.world is hosted in the Netherlands, if I'm not mistaken.
-
Well I guess this is only the domain and their server us hosted elsewhere. But good point.
True, but it still gives the Malian government an ultimate authority over the domain, which just seems completely dumb to me. The also-semi-failed Libya has ultimate authority over
lydomains (like bit.ly) and has actually used its power to shut down domains for being against Libyan law. Domain hacks are not just ugly, they're dumb. -

That's what I thought. I don't know if any big ones are hosted in the US.

Which one is the Greek community?
Those that I found are dead. -
Nothing about the term tankie does or should deny their right to live. Advocating for the deaths of people who disagree with you is profoundly against everything liberalism (the freedom-based guiding principle of what we'd call "the west") stands for.
To the contrary, as a pretty standard liberal American I fully support their rights to advocate for whatever they wish. Since there is no realistic way to accurately and objectively determine what is or is not propaganda, I support their right to create that as well.
Regarding the utility of recognizing where propaganda comes from, it can occasionally be useful to know, as it tends to follow certain patterns based on the goals of whoever created it.
Since there is no realistic way to accurately and objectively determine what is or is not propaganda
Can you realistically accurately and objectively determine that the source of the claim was a tankie?
So it makes more sense to make wild claims about the person behind the message than it does to classify a piece of information based off of its linguistic characteristics?
