    I always wonder if Russia would collapse, if suddenly a lot of the disinfo & hate on various online media would become noticeably quieter.

      That partially already happened at the start of the war. There was a massive “brain drain” among the higher educated part of society, which did include a bunch of hackers. Why live inside russia these days when you can move elsewhere and get paid better?

        communist propaganda

        It’s like you know that these are words, and they’re words that you’ve seen people put together in the past, but you have no idea what they mean.

        Where is anyone talking about communism? Where is the propaganda? What the fuck are you even talking about??

            Maybe reconsider where you spend your time then? You aren’t locked to a single instance. Also, sub to what you like and change your view to subscription, problem solved.

              Is there a way to keep the Lemmy homepage set to my subscriptions rather than the default for the instance? I have to manually change it to the subscribed tab every time I open Lemmy

                There are instance profile settings where you can change the default view to subscription you can access through the browser, and on iOS/Android there are Memmy and other lemmy apps that have their own settings as well for your phone where you can also change the settings to whichever default view you want, specific to while using the app on your phone.

          Where is anyone talking about communism?

          Lemmygrad.ml, I assume? I dunno if it’s “propaganda,” though, mainly because I haven’t really seen much from that instance. It isn’t defederated or anything; it just apparently isn’t popular enough to show up in Active/Hot/Top.

            I see a lot of communism good/capitalism bad meme content in lemmy.ml in general. Now I’m really not against communism and I absolutely see the negative effects of western society’s brand of unregulated late stage capitalism, but political meme content in general is just entirely devoid of all nuance to the point where people are seriously dropping silly statements like “capitalism is the sole contributor to climate change”, as if if you could turn off capitalism climate change would just stop lol. It’s straight up propaganda.

              That and conveniently ignoring any negatives involving China/Russia.

              There are a few users on Lemmy.ml who I see all over the place. Half their posts will just be funny “lol capitalism sucks, amirite?” memes and the other half will be “Look at how China is ushering the world into a golden age of social and economic progress” or “When will the west acknowledge Ukraine’s Nazi problem?”
