Too many people are confusing the two. Whenever lemmy.ml or its devs do something stupid, people go “Lemmy is getting worse and worse,” or “I’m leaving Lemmy,” or worse, “I’m leaving for Beehaw.”
If you’re using Beehaw, then you’re using Lemmy. Lemmy is the software these instances run on. If you don’t like lemmy.ml, join another instances that have rules that match your philosophy. Some instance hosts authoritarian or fascist shit? Turn to another Lemmy instance. Lemmy.ml is not even the biggest instance. People who just joined and are unfamiliar with the platform will just think the entire Lemmyverse is run by autocratic admins if we don’t get our terminology right.
Lmao which proxy war? It’s Russia committing to a full scale invasion of Ukraine and losing. That’s like calling WW2 a proxy war because the soviet union received critical amounts of US aid.

Nobody is claiming that the west isn’t massively benefitting from Russia lighting itself on fire. That’s not a grand conspiracy, that’s just Russia being in a war they started themselves that they have no way of exiting.
Why does the US have all the agency in introducing new members to NATO? Every signatory has to agree, and they can’t forcefully induce members or force them to stay like the Warsaw Pact could. By this logic then I guess the west could rightfully attack Russia for attempting to expand their sphere of influence?
