    lol reminds me of when it was explained to me that Russia is an Asian country and if I supported Ukraine it meant I was racist against Asians

        They will then post an article talking about Russia “reclaiming” its Asian-ness and another that says that it was Asian all along. Then they will downvote you into negative double digits while explaining how horrible a person you are

        PS I actually moved here after many months of it. Had no idea what “ml” meant. I joined there because it was the dev instance.

          The devs being tankies was one of the reasons why I went with kbin / mbin over Lemmy. It just didn’t sit right with me. But I also couldn’t stand the layout / design.

            I wish I had known! I really do. But I’m here now and it’s ok. This instance is full of nice people for the most part, it’s like 2005-era social media again.

      Yeah, that’s some fun logic. A equals B, and B equals C, so A equals C. But this isn’t math and subsets aren’t totality. So hating Russia for warmongering isn’t hating Asians for being Asian.
