There are many useful blocklists. But the average user isn’t informed enough to seek them.

so you were gonna vote for kamala and the continuation of genocide in gaza, yeah?

the us knew what it was doing and ukraine has learned a hard lesson about having america as an ally. i didn't know how aggressively hivemind it was around here, its a little more like reddit than one would hope... 90 downvotes, that's like half the community give or take a few bots, i'm sure.

this community is a psy op hang in there

i was hoping for a purified echo chamber because that's clearly what this world needs more of.

The problem of platforms when they become big. Just like cyber criminals lurk on systems used by the mass to exploit. Things can be used for good and for bad. And its often the small portion of bad that ruins it for large majority. Just like the few hooligans that screw things up for the rest.

Bad intend or behavior is just hard to manage in a free online world. If Elon is hated then Adrian will take over....

I voted for Kamala to prevent my own gay daughter from being part of Trump's genocide. Sorry, I care about my daughter more than anyone else in this world and I am going to do what is best for her. Which is why we fled the U.S. when Trump won.

But let me guess- I should care about people other than my daughter first. And also, queer people aren't in any danger under Trump.

wow, i didn't know your own gay daughter was going to be genocided by trump. you realize the democrats would've had a much better chance to win and prevent his second term if they weren't helping israel with their extermination campaign.

I think people downvote quite more readily to show disagreement here, not in the least because downvoted comments don't get buried.

And, like, seriously. If you can't even muster thoughts and prayers, if you can't even muster being indifferent, can't muster simply not leaving a comment at all, but have to shout your disapproval of Ukraine existing as a sovereign state from the rooftops, you're an asshole. Unambiguously.

[email protected]

who wants thoughts and prayers.. you want people to observe some fake decorum and misrepresent themselves? are you familiar with nato and previous agreements that russia laid out time and again was a red line not to cross with regard to expansion into ukraine?

[email protected]

this place feels more like reddit everyday... western colonial echo chamber masquerading as 'the good guys'

[email protected]

Ukraine didn't even want to join NATO. Before the invasion, that is. Also Russia doesn't get to tell other countries which alliances it can and cannot join, what are you, an imperialist or something?

[email protected]

U can have it bro.
Russian behavior in Ukraine is actually very nice

sorry if the truth conflicts with your 'reality'

You are literally reading EU state propaganda in this very post, an article by "kyivinsider" sourcing its information from "alliance4europe", funded by the European Parliament and the Polish International Affairs ministry among others (according to its own website, feel free to check the link inside the article).

That doesn't mean that it's fake news or anything, the report is most likely true, just that it's really ironic that we're consuming state propaganda designed to make us worried about state propaganda from other "evil" countries (unlike our glorious EU parliament, not on a fascist downward spiral at all)

[email protected]

Keep in mind that state propaganda doesn't equate misinformation. This very article is western state propaganda ("kyivinsider" using "alliance4europe" as a source for the article), and the report is most likely true. You don't need to strictly lie or misinform to create state propaganda, you just need to propagate your talking points and direct the public discourse to given topics. We're very concerned about Russian propaganda (and rightfully so) but, fuck, we've been literally supporting a genocide and all the state propaganda from our own western countries was directing ourselves in other direction, maybe we should worry about that too. We're literally consuming state propaganda right now in this article.

[email protected]

Honestly, props to you for fleeing the US while you could, the genocidal empire is on a spiral to fascism. May I ask where you've decided to move?

Because they were the generation teaching the first group of kids growing up with the internet and they were actually very right to tell us that. Their role is unique. The generation matters. There’s your insight.

What 'reality'?

Wikipedia, according to itself, isn't a reliable source when it comes to such internationally hot topics. It's primarily written by western young men who are mostly exposed exclusively to western media, and the articles they write are referenced by this same media. If you wanna read a bit more on this, I did a writeup some weeks ago about this very topic, sourcing my information from wikipedia itself.

With this I don't mean to say that the accusations you're showing are false, I honestly don't have enough information to confirm or deny it, but in times of war information is a powerful tool and media from both sides won't doubt to distort information to benefit their own countries.
