That is the western propaganda for justifying diminishing Russia. "If we are lucky a civil war fractures Russia into balkanized sections which the US/CIA will be able to keep divided and warmongering amongst each other. Blow up their oil. Yay!". Instead, Russians understand this war as defensive, and don't believe "NATO is a purely defensive alliance" BS, any more than non-imbeciles in west believe it, instead of willingly going along with the hateful propaganda lies because they have internalized their rulers warmongering profits as if it were a sports home team.
We can all be very thankful for Putin's restraint on nuclear strikes of US bases in Europe, or Aircarrier fleets off coast of Israel. If anything, opposition in Russia that would replace him, if impression was that Russia was losing/Putin approach was failing, would be more aggressive in ending the war once and for all.

I'm getting tired of this 'whataboutism'. It's the same Russian logic: "look, there is also shitty countries around us in the world. So it's ok if our country and we are the same."

Ukraine "choose" the war by not wanting to be a Russian satellite state anymore.

No. Killing ethnic Russians for 8 years, and not implementing the autonomy agreements, chose the war. Ukraine can peacefully join EU or have greater EU trade.

Mastodon tried and it's had some moderate success, but because it's completely devoid of algorithms, users have a harder time discovering people/accounts/mindless entertainment. That's the only reason I can think of as to why Bluesky took off so much faster.
I'm sure that's a factor, but I can think of another reason. Decision paralysis when picking instances and frontends has been cited quite often as a substantial hurdle.

Sure, I can definitely see that as an issue for Lemmy especially. I haven't used Mastodon in awhile (microblog format doesn't really appeal to me outside of when I'm looking for sales), but I had thought that the main mobile app defaulted to the biggest instance there. Is that not the case?

This is where it all ends. "Everything I don't like is Russia/China/Iran".
Nothing evaluated on its merits. Nobody with a view different from mine is real. Evil Foreigners is the explanation for every bad take and un-pc post. Americans are only ever loyal patriots, villainous traitors, or useful idiots.

I too love genocidal regimes and war crimes. Can't get enough of that mass slaughter of civilians and kidnapping of children.

You seem to think countries can be forced to invade other countries. That is not how anything works.

Lemmy? The place made because "Fuck the white supremacist Reddit admins, want me to set up a self hosted one for /r/communism?"
That place?

That's basically what the ml and hexbear instances seem to be. Or at least there's a lot of them there.

Putin may be crazy, but he's not suicidal.

Nukes aren't self stable. The brains that it takes to maintain the stock left or died long ago.

Used to dream of that when I was a kid. Glory to the motherland and all. But now - Russia is like a little us clone.
