      Aww the poor Russian bots think they can hide content by down voting it like they do on reddit? Won’t anyone think of Putin’s sad hurt feelings? … Oh wait, that’s right, we DO think of him – every time we point and laugh.

      There’s enough weird pro-Russian tankies around I’d believe it’s at least partially native.

        10 downvotes within 5 minutes of a post going up is very suspect, I’d be shocked if it wasn’t bot activity

          Eh. I get a bunch of downvotes every time I post on lemmy.world/c/conservative even if Im just posting the text of a law.

          I think that some here are just very liberal with the downvote button.

            The more apt comparison is posting the text of law to /r/law and immediately getting 10 downvotes.

          The tankie unifying ideology is something closer to “everything that is anti-US is good” rather than a coherent narrative about something that actually unifies historical or current communist dictatorships. So there tends to be a fair amount of Russian simping or Russia/US both-sides equivocation.

          Dude. Who knows? They don’t make the slightest amount of sense. Tanky is more just anti-west than anything meaningful now. They’re braindead.

          It’s pure tribalism at that level, nothing to do with logic or even principles.

          In that specific tribe Russia = Good, US = Bad, always and with no case-by-case analysis.

          (Mind you, I did once turned a tankie away from that by pointing out that Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine was the same kind of thing as the US’ second invasion of Iraq so it made sense to judge the invaders in both exactly in the same way. Granted this was back in the early days of the invasion and I reckon that anybody who still remains pro-Russia now is either an authoritarian at hearth or a brainless unprincipled parrot).

          It just takes time for it to percolate through. They do federate, but you’ll see it happen in groups later, not one at a time instantly.

            Not to kbin.social, at least within a week. Effectively, downvotes from lemmy instances don’t exist for kbin.social users.

    Don’t forget the Lemmy users they threatened over deleting their posts.

          They’re gonna have to ban all the instances because it’s just gonna keep existing in the fediverse.

          Would Hetzner (a French company?) really shutdown the instance’s server if the operator won’t delete the offending post though? I assume it’s safe to ignore the deletion request from the Russian government agency as long as you’re not a Russian?

    Didn’t Apple formally leave Russia? Why would they be responsible for the content users UNOFFICIALLY access, lol

      Pretty sure €4000 fine is not that big of a problem for Apple

        Are you sure, Apple is a very small startup. I don’t think they can handle that big of a fine. It’s clearly a very big deal

            Interesting point, presumably it would actually be illegal for Apple to pay the fine. You know, because Russia is sanctioned and you’re not allowed to give them stuff.
