Fuck French Imperialism Rule

Critical support for every coup in Africa, and for the rights of Africans to demand the French and US militaries leave their country.

No critical support for the rights of Africans to demand the Russian and Wagner militaries leave their country? Because you're replacing one colonialism with another colonialism. Should I point out that Wagner is paid with African natural resources like diamonds? What is the difference between the exploitation from France and the exploitation from Russia?

Lemmy is not immune to trolls, bad fait actors or propaganda - in fact, despite how bad reddit is, a lot of Lemmy instances are worse

Here are some small pieces of advice for you, and anyone else who is interested:

  • Block Lemmygrad.ml, because fascists.

  • Block Lemmy.ml, because admins are fascists.

  • Block Hexbear.net, because fascists and trolls.

  • Block any user from Lemmygrad.ml, Hexbear.net, and the usual suspects from Lemmy.ml.

That's it. 90% of toxicity is no more.

Let's not have global Lemmy default to US (or some region)

Careful with names of places, especially abbreviation. By CA, do you mean Canada or California? Is IN India or Indiana? Is SD an SD card? UK is an university now? And so on. I personally think abbreviation should default to countries or global organizations, if anything - such as UK, EU, UN.

Last year, or the year before, I was on a private Discord server. Some new user just logged in, and I asked them "Where are you from?", and they replied "I'm from Cali." I thought to myself "Wonderful, a Colombian dude whom I can speak in Spanish with", until some other user asked "How is the weather in Los Angeles?". Dude, to me Cali is not California, but a Colombian town.

This is written by a Spanish user.

Explosions heard in Crimean Bridge area

I very much dislike that strategy. These are the necessary steps for Ukraine to achieve peace:

  1. Stop attacking Crimean bridge.

  2. Let Russia repair that bridge.

  3. Invite Putin to ride his car on that bridge, so he will be pleased by the successful repair.

  4. Burn that bridge to the ground once Putin is on it.

  5. Profit.
