I was thinking more along the lines of how the burger regime could use it as a part of a full spectrum warfare strategy. I’d much rather see the burger regime get burnt by something like this, but I suspect it and its NATO pawns have more influence over such things than Russia or Belarus do.

Just ban Russia and Belarus from participating FFS. Don’t even let them in under neutral flags.

So you don’t have an argument and have to make shit up. Cool. Judging by your other responses in the thread, you’re a shill trying to astroturf support for the U.S., so Imma block you 💅

If voting “yes” on a referendum to be annexed is an accurate way of knowing that the majority of the populace supports annexation, does the same logic apply to Crimea being annexed by Russia? If not, why not?

They’re visible in Kbin’s UI, but not Lemmy’s.

How long until an article comes out saying it’s mandatory to wear shorts in the DPRK?

Matrix isn’t integrated into lemmy: if you want to have an account for that, you’ll have to make one on a matrix server. Matrix.org is the mainstream one. I see you’re a hexbear user, so genzedong.xyz may also interest you.

The only “integration” at the moment is a UI shortcut for messaging an associated matrix account.

It’s a completely different service/protocol. Activitypub (the protocol lemmy and similar fedi software uses to federate) is not well suited for encrypted communications. The main motivation is maintaining privacy.

Send message sends a DM over lemmy. It is possible for instance admins to see these.

If you have a matrix account listed on your profile, send secure message will DM you over Matrix instead.

If someone linked you a 1.75 hour long video from Radio Free Asia/Europe, Voice of America, or Ukraine Pravda, would you sit through the whole thing just to make a counter argument, or would you (correctly) point out that they are garbage sources that should be disregarded?

Garbage source.

If words have no meaning, then how are you communicating with people in this comment section right now?

It says deleted when that happens, not removed.

It’s the slur filter. What specifically gets filtered is up to instance admins.

K9 is good.

By your logic, no one should stand up to the US either because we have enough glowy ordinance to turn Russia, China, and Iran into glass and have enough nukes to end all life a million times over.

Maybe DM the bot with a link to a post/comment?

More like feral lemmygrad.

Fox News, known China lovers

I wonder if it’s worth making an actual bot for that so the person doesn’t have to do the bit manually?
