You’re welcome to that view. I am welcome to my view of- yours is a naive take.

Hey, that’s like a ~.1% increase of userbase, assuming 45k!

Thanks for the tip!

I know that I just came from Reddit today, so… At least 1 person joined because of this fuckery lol

And with that- I have deleted my Reddit account that I have had for 13 years lol. Fuuuuck that. I don’t even care if that gets reversed after Nintendo gets involved. This is ridiculous behavior.

Am I better than someone that legally murdered hundreds of thousands for cheering someone that illegally murdered that 1 person? Yes. Yes I am.

None of those actually mention the vote in Ukrainian parliament, that is where the “unanimously” comes from 😇 I’ve looked through several sources and AJ English had it summarized the best 🤷‍♂️

Fair enough! While the vote isn’t mentioned in mine, they do talk about the opposition making public statements that they would refuse to run an election in wartime, which was enough in my mind for showing intent. I do appreciate the extra source.

off topic: not sure what are your reservations about AJ - soft power vehicle for Qatari gov?

Primarily that, yes. I appreciate the source of information, and if they are the ones reporting first- that is what it is, I just personally don’t read it if I can help it.

I’d rather not give AlJazeera any traffic, so here’s a couple of other sources.

Lol this is even funnier because his sanctions from 2018 in his first term are still in place, I believe.

I saw news on this yesterday- pretty sure all of Zelenskyy’s political opponents unanimously made public statements saying they would not have an election before the end of the war.

Same, man. I just wish we weren’t going through any of it, but we have too many emotionally and mentally stunted people over here that have us in this situation in the first place.

It sucks, but that’s where we are at. It’s not like the majority of the Dems are doing anything to actually fight back against this. If blue states get hit too, it might actually get them moving.

So far, I’ve been really enjoying it. It really feels like the type of site Reddit used to be, without the shitlord CEO and MBAs.

Organized religion is a cancer, and society cannot heal until it is gone from the world.

People are recommending Lemmy. It’s how I found this site literally today. It may not be a massive flood of accounts, but this was the straw that broke the camel’s back for some of us.

Sounds like a healthy system! /s

As an American- Agree. The dumbfucks in this country aren’t going to understand they fucked up, until the pain kicks in.
