Bibbidi bobbidi it’s now US property. Not sure what they can do with it though.

These people are as great heroes as the German resistance against nazis in World War 2. We should hope they get as much support as possible, so as to stay safe and make a meaningful difference. They are the greatest hope of a world where the west and Russia can exist peacefully, or even as friends.

The idea of a friendly Russia might sound absurd now, but I’m sure the thought of a peaceful Germany seemed like a joke in the 1940s.

Page not found? Did they move it or was it just BS?

I’m a proponent of free markets, but I also think that social media should not be provided by them. Destroying Twitter and Reddit alone won’t be enough, since Facebook or new companies etc. will replace the void left by them. Even Mastodon is a bit of a risk, since there’s essentially nothing that protects from a single large entity pooling up resources, using marketing tactics etc., taking a majority of the network and then doing the good old embrace and extinguish move.

This needs global legislature to be fixed, and unfortunately the world does not seem to be moving towards a direction where that sort of thing could be achieved. EU is the best actor in this space currently, and that’s not a high hurdle. And EU is probably not taking over the world.

Share something from an unbiased source.

That’s a bit of a rich comment considering that you posted the original link to a very biased source.

Why does the “leftist” lemmy.ml spread Russian Federation’s propaganda? It’s a country that is about as far from a leftist political ideology as is possible.

Upvoting this because lemmy.ml’s blind bias needs some exposure.

Kid: Mom, I want feudalism.

Mom: We have feudalism at home.

What a reality we live in. The one who is offensive gets to claim that their security is being threatened. It’s like if a rapist demanded that the victim apologizes and promises never to do it again.

Which actually fits this situation better than one might imagine: https://www.businessinsider.in/politics/world/news/putin-quoted-song-lyrics-about-rape-and-necrophilia-to-explain-russias-demands-from-ukraine/articleshow/89430396.cms

“Whether you like it or don’t like it, bear with it, my beauty,” Putin said.

Can you think of a perspective more extreme, more anti-russian than your own?

Sure, that’s easy as my perspective is rather mild, considering recent events. Here goes:

Russia is so evil that it should be immediately nuked, regardless of what the consequences would be.

(that went to the deep end, when the spirit of the question is perhaps to find more nuance – there’s certainly a lot of space between my answer above and my actual position)

It’s a test of whether your view is an extreme view or a moderate one.

Good test, generally speaking! It seems my actual view is rather moderate: I want this large and relatively powerful country not to bully its neighbors and generally increase violence in the world, and now that it is already doing that, it should immediately stop doing it.

Vaultwarden makes that possible, but then again the hassle is back if you use that.

Where in America are they conducting random checks for social media apps? Or was that the part that was untrue in Amicese’s view?

Cool that they think that the police arresting foreign-looking people is a good thing or evidence of guilt. Occam’s razor suggests that perhaps the police is being racist. You know, like every police force in the world.

Russia, and only Russia could stop the war right now, but they refuse to do so every hour of every day. So their list of sins is growing larger and larger. Not only are they fucking up Ukraine, but also the whole planet by forcing almost everyone to pointlessly put even more resources into military.

For all its faults, it was in many ways better than what there is currently.

It has always been a backwards islamistic hellhole. This year they’re on the spotlight because of some annual football tournament takes place there.

Everybody’s stressed about whether to choose human rights or their favourite sports team. (Spoiler: they choose the sports team)

Are there options for fixing Russia that doesn’t include a collapse? Fascist states like Russia seem to have a very strong grip to power.

And do you have “better” information?

Yes, and you also have it. Simply read the article. What you seem to have is gut feeling, at least until you give us better information, i.e. sources.
