Until there is another instance it’s not federated.

We’re seeing a substantial increase on the Mastodon instance I help moderate too, but there’s no aggregate marketing department at Mastodon so we don’t get any headlines.

You want Matrix. Synapse if you intend to host for others, Conduit if you just want to host for yourself. There are quite a few different clients but I do indeed use ElementX on mobile.

I think this would be a good time for you to study the subject you intend to discuss.

In February 2015, Russia and Ukraine signed the Minsk II agreements

Beginning in 2021, there was a massive Russian military buildup near Ukraine’s borders, including within neighbouring Belarus. Russian officials repeatedly denied plans to attack Ukraine.

So if Russia and Ukraine instead sign a peace deal with borders similar to where they are now, and Russia doesn’t invade the rest of europe and Georgia, will you do any introspection?

In 2014 Russia invaded Crimea and the easternmost part of Ukraine. Then said the had absolutely no intention of expanding.

Cue 2022.

At which point did you do your introspection?

Maybe you should read the IPCC reports?

Tell me more about the US government requiring their soldiers to rape pre-teen girls then.

Or, you know, they really aren’t the same.

I’m in Sweden. The idea that the US is somehow more of a danger to us than Russia is laughable.

Let’s.

Agree, but the Russia bootlickers are otoh equally obnoxious.

Heard about what Russia has been doing in the occupied parts of Ukraine?

“basically”

You’ll be surprised if you actually challenge your convictions.

There is an extremely arbitrary distinction made between the USA and Russia.

Your world view seems to be highly influenced by propaganda. It’s very easy to draw a distinction between these two countries. Let me start with an easy one:

Russia is a dictatorship, the US is a democracy.

I’m assuming there’s an additional risk of having to step down from any company he owns with federal contracts as well.

Many of Yandex’s employees resigned in protest, accusing the company of serving as a tool of Kremlin propaganda and actively concealing information about the war.
