      Thanks. Looking at the admin’s profile, he seems to be very reasonable. I especially like this comment he made:

      “Not sure if I actually have to justify removing soviet and/or nazi symbolism, but I have lived my whole life in a country on the border of Russia. My country been ravaged by both Nazis and Soviets in very recent history. I want to be clear that while I think criticising capitalism is totally normal and necessary, I am also extremely aware of constant Kremlin propaganda. Propaganda which is spread both in their media, but also crucially in online channels. Propaganda which includes things like downplaying horrifying actions of the soviet union, portraying their “enemies” (the west) in the worst possible light, and mixing in soviet symbolism wherever possible. I have no intention of allowing anything which resembles this propaganda to be spread through lemm.ee. If banning offending users does not work, then further steps will definitely be taken.”

          History fits the majority of Eastern European countries but yes as said they are Estonian. Actually, now that I think about it can’t really think of any Eastern European countries that it doesn’t fit at all.

            Eastern Europe had finally just stabilized a little bit it looked like. They’ve consistently gotten the short end of the stick from the superpowers in the region using their territory for war.

            Hopefully after Ukraine is over (with Ukraine keeping all their land) there will be some stability in the region again

              Living next to Russia has never been easy. Living between Russia and Western powers has been worse. I’m Finnish and while we have not really seen ourselves as Eastern Europeans for a long time, we are. Just got lucky past century.

      It says a significant chunk of their funding comes from users. Where does the other funding come from?
