Who blew up that Nordstream pipeline?
So I’ve just gone and done some reading based on this comment to try to understand how it is a rebuttal to anything I’ve said, and although there were some details I wasn’t aware of, I’m still not seeing it. You can reply now to re-emphasize my stupidity whenever you are ready.
I was simply making a joke about the idea that the Russian perspective should be thrown out and we should only listen to Western-Aligned sources because the latter were insisting in the wake of the blast that Russia blew up its own pipeline while Russia said that they obviously weren’t.
A better example might have been the prison full of Azovites that got rocketed, but I was going for something that I was sure anyone who gave a shit about Ukraine/Russia, even from a superficial culture war perspective, would be familiar with.
My expectation was that it was evidence of a disagreement with my comments sourced with something other than a swipe at my general intellect or capability, but I see my standards were too high. I never made a statement that the Russian perspective should never be listened to, my statements were very specific to this event.
Why waste time with a Hexbear account
Whew, with the number of people who sideswipe at .ml I try not to look at things that way, but in this case…
There are some great instances out there if you want to leave .ml
Lemm.ee is great. No weird censorship or propaganda like ml
It’s a weird thing - I gravitated towards .ml because it doesn’t federate with threads (not sure of ee, I will check), had a decent userbase (not sure why I thought that mattered), and I liked the idea that most people on the instance would be to the left of me (again, really doesn’t matter in the end I guess, it just felt more comfortable that way than being amongst what I’d perceive as a bunch of conservatives) - since then I’ve learned of the reputation of .ml, but on the other hand aside from the occasional snark from folks I don’t think it impacts me much, unless there are things I’m missing I don’t realize. (which is possible)
But I appreciate the suggestion. I’ve been considering whether I want to move based on the above - I suppose I could create an account elsewhere and see how different the Lemmy experience is or isn’t as a result…
Yeah that all makes sense. I dont want anything to do with Threads/Meta either.
