      I do love that they all claim to hate Putin and the Russian state but only accept sources that paint it in a good light. The AP is apparently biased to them but substacks and Sputnik News are all legit.

        It’s about understanding the bias; if a US news source admits to something that reflects negatively on the US, we can assume it’s at least that bad. Same with a Russian source about Russia.

        When an American source runs a story that makes Russia look bad, it’s not very credible. Same with Russian sources on America.

        In both cases, the actual narrative the article uses its facts to paint should typically be disregarded; the atomic unit of propaganda being emphasis and all.

          Except that does not happen. Russian sources that make Russia look good and Ukraine look bad are accepted while the opposite is never the case.

      I call them armchair communists. Or, a more insulting term that only a real communist would pick up on, parlor pink.

      Those tankies are just as bad as the idiots on far right social sites. There are extremists on both sides and neither deserves to be taken seriously.

      And in case people from fringe Lemmies of either side decide to tell me off, our instance defederated you lot so I can’t hear you.

      See…this is what confuses me about Lemmy.

      When TV was a new concept, there was no internet, so they had TV Guide. It was your guide to knowing what was happening, at what time.

      On Lemmy, we need an Instance Guide. To be able to have a wiki that explains what each instance’s personality is.

          Communism is just a facade for them to cover up their authoritarian propaganda from the Kremlin and CCP.

          How do you block instances that show up in the all feed? I’m doing this wrong.

          I’m using the eternity client.

            I don’t know that app, I’m using Sync. But you can do it even via the website. Click your avatar > settings > blocks tab.
