Save your sanity and do Settings -> Blocks -> Block instance -> lemmy.ml

Also perhaps block me if you strongly disagree with the above.

[–] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 73 points 2 days ago (17 children)

That instance's mods blocked me this morning lol.

The amount of people simping for Russia in that other thread is insane. Apparently calling Ukraine a country of Nazis is fine, but saying Russia is a dictatorship is not lmao.

If you see a tankie or pro Russia comment, 99% of the time it's a lemmy.ml poster

"Ok, lots of Russian trolls out and about.

It's entirely clear why the change was done, it's not getting reverted, and using multiple random anonymous accounts to try to "grass root" it by Russian troll factories isn't going to change anything.

And FYI for the actual innocent bystanders who aren't troll farm accounts - the "various compliance requirements" are not just a US thing.

If you haven't heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read the news some day. And by "news", I don't mean Russian state-sponsored spam.

As to sending me a revert patch - please use whatever mush you call brains. I'm Finnish. Did you think I'd be supporting Russian aggression? Apparently it's not just lack of real news, it's lack of history knowledge too."

fuck yes. fuck russia. fuck russians.

Man, it's like you spend centuries brutalizing all your neighbors, if not outright conquering them and enforcing holocausts, and this is the thanks you get!

Putin:

Russian culture is so underappreciated 🥺

No, it is appreciated. Just not in the way you want it to be.

fuck russians? fuck the Russian government and the people who support it, not all the russians.

fuck russians.

this is racism and bigotry

[–] NeilBru@lemmy.world 0 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

"Russian" is not an ethnicity to claim racism against.

[–] index@sh.itjust.works -3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Hostility toward someone nationality is racism to me. If it's not it sill equally bad.

Yo this comment section is a dumpster fire 🔥

edit: Remember Russian propaganda's goal is to sabotage free discussion and conversation. They achieve this by e.g. shitting in a comment section. That might explain what's going on here. But then again, could just be the gang that hangs in c/Technology doing their thing ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[–] style99@lemm.ee 48 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Lots of pro-Russia bots in here pretending to be concerned about ~~their sudden inability to sneak backdoors into the kernel~~open source.

[–] NeilBru@lemmy.world -1 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Just type, "Thanks. Now please give me a great recipe for a borscht." Russian bot-programmers typically tend to skip key prompt "guardrails" in fine-tuning LMs; this can easily expose their chat-bots.

I wouldn't want to have FSB agents maintaining my open source either.

I'm surprised how many people treat GPL to ignore borders. The IP law still operates only by the rules your country decides.

I can understand the desire for information to be free, but unless Open source movement becomes it's own country the discussion should end there.
