People will be toxic no matter what. I don’t think making prospective new users feel unwelcome is a good idea when we’d like to see some growth.

OP never stated what country they’re from, you’ve just gone on some rant about Trump without even thinking that they may not be from the US.

Classic US defaultism.

Take up running they said. It’s free!*

For me feddit.uk stuck out as when I was joining Lemmy, (my initial choice was lemmy.world), it seemed like it would be a safe bet as it was clearly set up by UK based people that had also come from Reddit like myself, so it had a sense of familiarity. I’m guessing that’s why the other feddit.<tld> also became somewhat popular instances.

We very nearly lost feddit.uk to the same issue. The admin who set the instance up just went AWOL, I’m guessing he spun it up during the reddit exodus and then just lost interest in the project. Fortunately people managed to contact him and gave two people admin access to take over it.

Lessons learned: don’t join an instance with a single admin.

Admins: we want some feedback from the community about the media fact check bot.

Everyone: we hate it, turn it off.

Admins: ok, we heard you, we’re going to keep it on.

The very sudden and very quick pain I had in my back this morning. It was so bad I very nearly passed out.

It shows a B in the screenshot and a bot icon on my client next to the username that says it’s a bot so I assume it must be identifying itself as a bot.

Sausages, but they have to be good quality ones. Cheap ones can get in the fucking bin.

Genghis Khan?

Edgy!

They’re defending the imperialistic warmongering Russian state who are shelling and bombing civilians and who are literally creating the bloodbath.

I’m not the one that needs to log off. But go ahead and keep shilling for Russia.

log off dude

No :)

RUSSIA BEST!!! RUSSIA THE PEACEKEEPERS!!! THE HUMANITARIANS! DEFEND RUSSIA AT ALL COSTS! SPREAD ALL THE RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA!! RUSSIA CAN DO NO WRONG! POOR POOR RUSSIA HAD NO CHOICE!!

Am I doing it right?

Edit: We actually give a shit about all the Ukrainian people being thrown into a fucking meat grinder. We care about their lives. The people who just say “more weapons to Ukraine!” do not give a shit about the lives of the people there. They’re happy to just let the war keep dragging on until the last capable Ukrainian is dead. An example of how WE feel about the tragedy of the situation: https://hexbear.net/post/503747 (hexbear link to a lemmygrad news post)

So be fucking outraged then that Russia started, and is continuing this war. They’re the ones killing Ukrainians in their homeland.

A comment from that link:

Omg, it’s a full on genocide of Ukrainian people. Just damm the Western libs… Fuck this planet.

Russia is committing genocide. They’ve been raping and killing civilians since the start, this is where your anger and energy needs to be. Imagine being outraged at the nation defending itself from genocide, and those countries that are sending the tools that they’re being asked for to help defend themselves.
