Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to become a member of the community, theres a reasonable amount of subs (or whatever the other word for em is) that fit my interests, enough linux content and shitposting for my liking, and the overall random posts made by people equally fed up with Leddit. (also i admit i used reddit a little cus there was this post on the fedora sub showing how to fix a sound issue i been having after a recent update)

Those Russians, they sure do seem to be everywhere! Tell me, even if there were a lot of Russians -- which I don't think is actually true -- what would your problem be with that?

If we take as an axiom, as many in the west regularly do, that the Russian government is fundamentally undemocratic and disconnected from the will of its people, then what worry should we have about Russians, who themselves thereby probably aren't interested in advancing the interests of their government? Or do you believe that the accounts you don't agree with are paid agents on this tiny website? That would be very unreasonable of me to assume as a belief you hold, but I am struggling to infer another one. Could you help me to understand?

I agree with you, the earth is flat. Now please leave me alone.

You think that it's equivalent to saying the Earth is flat to wonder about the logic of complaining about "Russians" on this website? I was pretty careful about my inferences, though I invited you to show me my error and still would be interested to see where my mistake was!

That's the spirit! I don't think there are many Russians here, but if there are any, I hope you get some people to queue with!
