Aww the poor Russian bots think they can hide content by down voting it like they do on reddit? Won't anyone think of Putin's sad hurt feelings? ... Oh wait, that's right, we DO think of him -- every time we point and laugh.

There's enough weird pro-Russian tankies around I'd believe it's at least partially native.

[–] redcalcium@lemmy.institute 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Why would any tankies support Russia? It's no longer a communist state anymore.

[–] Veraticus@lib.lgbt 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The tankie unifying ideology is something closer to “everything that is anti-US is good” rather than a coherent narrative about something that actually unifies historical or current communist dictatorships. So there tends to be a fair amount of Russian simping or Russia/US both-sides equivocation.

Dude. Who knows? They don't make the slightest amount of sense. Tanky is more just anti-west than anything meaningful now. They're braindead.

"The enemies of my enemies are my friends" - sort of thinking perhaps.

Hilarious seeing Russia complaining about the US trying to destabilize the political situation when they're the ones always doing it to other countries, including the US.

hmm, must be your instance.
I'm on Kbin and 0 Downvotes

[–] atocci@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah I don't think downvotes federate

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It just takes time for it to percolate through. They do federate, but you'll see it happen in groups later, not one at a time instantly.

[–] gullible@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Not to kbin.social, at least within a week. Effectively, downvotes from lemmy instances don’t exist for kbin.social users.

[–] meldrik@lemmy.wtf 2 points 1 year ago

They do, but the federation can be spotty.

Well I'm going to fine Putin for excessive oversized table use!

[–] Nechesh 10 points 1 year ago

This seems largely symbolic. I don't see Apple or Wikipedia paying, and paying might even be illegal at this point.

[–] Mandy 7 points 1 year ago

Lmao, I'd fine them too if that actually ever works out Like what does Russia expect

[–] nudnyekscentryk@szmer.info 6 points 1 year ago

Didn't Apple formally leave Russia? Why would they be responsible for the content users UNOFFICIALLY access, lol

[–] Haibane@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just block all your content from Russia. Problem solved for both sides.

[–] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The Russian people deserve a chance to hear the truth

[–] Haibane@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sure, and the Ukrainian people deserve to live in peace. I don't actually give a fuck about the Russian people as long as they are waging an imperialist war against their neighboring county. Sorry.

[–] JillyB 1 points 1 year ago

The Russian people aren't waging the war. Those in power are.
