Good morning bots
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.
It's especially funny because of how Lemmy's default sort option works.
Active? Does it count downvotes as activity?
It doesn't, not sure what that person is on about
What IS the default option now? I changed mine to new, so I see everything no matter how much they downvote it.
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.
Also possible!
Why would any tankies support Russia? It's no longer a communist state anymore.
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).
hmm, must be your instance.
I'm on Kbin and 0 Downvotes
Yeah I don't think downvotes federate
They do, but the federation can be spotty.
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.
Haven’t heard about this, any additional context you can offer?
there you go
You have to scroll down to see the English translation.
They're gonna have to ban all the instances because it's just gonna keep existing in the fediverse.
Hail Hydra!
Lol, so much bullshit coming out of Russia
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?
Isn't it like this with all russian threats?
Oh no! Anyway…
Well I'm going to fine Putin for excessive oversized table use!
Rich coming from the Kremlin which actively undermines democratic governments around the world.
Didn't Apple formally leave Russia? Why would they be responsible for the content users UNOFFICIALLY access, lol
Well russia is a dood dood head, come and fine me russia!
The Russian people deserve a chance to hear the truth
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
/s (obviously)
Do they pay in Bitcoins? Or what?
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.
Good luck with that.
Good luck collecting.
