Every Country That Has Their Own Lemmy Instance

There it is the Russian instance.

I've already blocked most of these because they all use Wingdings font

Aaaah, a fellow Batman Beyond enjoyer!

¡Siempre hay un chileno!
(Curiosamente no tengo cuenta en la instancia de Chile. Debería arreglar eso.)

They're probably busy spending it on surströmming

I am actually surprised they got that on the first place. That's a very major domain name to have...

Norway only has a population of 5.5million. The area is relativly big though.

That’s about the same amount we have in BC. Norway must be crowded.

Oh man I made the mistake of saying the word Russia and now I must be evil. You're right, they're not technically communist and after double checking yeah they don't claim it anymore either. Last time I really cared about Russia's internals was quite a while ago, and despite few changes to their economic system they definitely used to at least claim to be communist. Or that was my understanding at the time.
The point still stands, a handful of countries claim to be communist. A handful of countries are communist. Whether that's a good or bad thing is up to you to decide
-
i don't think you're evil. i just think it's fascinating how pervasive "russia is still communist" is as a talking point when it's decidedly not

Chinese gotta use state-approved and controlled mainstream apps and media, or access foreign stuff via VPN. Homegrown, off the grid stuff like Lemmy only gets by as long as it’s obscure.
If it’s big enough and ornery (includes political content, rather than say just all cooking recipes and form) it’s liable to be blocked.

I remember googling "which countries are still communist" back around 2018ish and Russia being at the top of many lists. It's just another ripple effect from propaganda that hasn't died out yet.
That being said, fighting propaganda is much easier with gentler words instead of name-calling in my experience
-
where did i name call? i was just pointing out that it's some tankie propaganda. i think your post was overall fine. ohhhh, wait did you think i was calling you a tankie? shit, i didn't mean that, i just meant the propaganda was tankist in origin

Feddit.dk in the house

Luxembourg is landlocked, it's not their fault.

"Tankie" is a generalist term, the same as "leftist" and whatnot. The goal of terms like these is to put people into camps that are divided and label them as anything other than "human" because it's a lot easier to say "100 dead tankies" than it is to say "100 dead humans"
My point is that terms like this detract from communication because they obfuscate the meaning behind what is being said. Using these terms, even if it is to fight against propaganda, makes it easier to continue using other terms that are similar in nature. This encourages people to use less people-centric language, which dehumanizes those around them and makes them easier targets. Best to just avoid using them at all IMO

Hello from lemmy.today!

It looks like the major city names (and maybe others) are registered by the government and allow people to register subdomains.
