Russia’s war in Ukraine is already in its 17th month. In that time, President Vladimir Putin has clearly demonstrated that he is not bothered by losses — whether they be financial, material, or human. His war will go on as long as he needs. And, judging by how the authorities have woven the so-called “special military operation” into Russian life, that will be a long time.

      You joined one month ago

      Yogthos’ account is 4 years old.

      At least this indicates that he is a human with an opinion that he stated on a highly nieche community and not a paid actor that only joins and starts to influence consensus after a community grows.

      You on the other hand…

      Jk, but think before you misrepresent a community and people as being shills.

      For sake of completeness: account dates can be manipulated by the owner of the instance the account is registered on

          We haven’t come to a mutually agreed definition and it doesn’t seem to be worth my time to do so with you.

          I am simply pointing out that you’re trying to claim that you were here first, when this website was created by a leftist and populated by leftists, and you only came over here when reddit being a shithole started to effect you personally.

            In other words, you don’t have an answer, you’re defending shitty pro-Russia astroturfing and propaganda smearing.

            Why do the admins tolerate this?

              The admins are probably also what you would consider “Russian shills”. They explicitly announced they wouldn’t ban people with different ideologies which is why you’re allowed to spout your western propaganda here

                  Oh no, please don’t isolate yourself further and prevent us and everyone else in the fediverse looking at this instance from being exposed to your opinions, that would really own us.

                  You’ll note how this communist designed open source fediverse structure is less coercive than capitalist reddit while still applying incentives to discourage reactionary behavior. If you entirely isolate yourselves, you’ve just recreated the structure of reddit.
