Russians also move to Kazakhstan

This is not a “pro-Russia” stance

Saying stuff that nearly perfectly aligns with the official Russian narrative and military goals, and yet mechanically insisting that your stance is not pro‐Russian, is just not terribly convincing.

it’s a deliberate wish to end the war as soon as possible with as little bloodshed as possible. This is pure “peace is war” doublespeak on your part.

There’s at least one other option to end the war as soon as possible – having Russia cease the invasion. But in the pro‐Russian narrative, that option is not on the table, since the invasion was justified and necessary. It is not Russia that you want to see giving up, but Ukraine.

A ceasefire that gives concessions to a genocidal aggressor that is likely to attack again afterwards to get the rest of what it wanted is a pretty worthless peace, there’s nothing doublespeak about that conclusion. E.g. I also wouldn’t be advising Stalin to go beg Hitler for a ceasefire and giving concessions to the Third Reich while the Wehrmacht was encircling Leningrad, even though continuing and properly ending the war would and in fact did cost hundreds of thousands of lives – as tragic as it was, it was the correct decision, rather than some grotesque peace treaty. So spare me this selective pacifism.

Per DSA:

We also oppose US and NATO military interventionism and the tens of billions in military aid and weapons shipments which only further exacerbates the war and undermine a negotiated settlement, as well as sanctions that will harm ordinary Russians.

So, pretty much as I said. Let Russia win and call it the anti‐war position, lol.

Ukraine is getting hollowed out for parts by western countries

Ohhh, evil western exploiters… Unlike the humane Russia that wouldnt hollow it out at all.

None of this position is based on support for Russia as a founding reason

It might not be the founding reason, but the outcome is the same.

I mean, the French are named after a Germanic tribe but they’re not Germanic, Bulgarians are Slavs even though they’re named after a Turkic tribe, and Macedonians are Slavs who are named after an ancient Greek kingdom.

Names have weird histories and shouldn’t be treated literally.

the anti-war activists

Putting aside the fact that OP’s idea is a vile edgy fantasy, this “anti‐war activism” is frequently a veneer for this narrative: US is effectively solely at fault, Russia’s invasion is justified, the west should stop aiding Ukraine and let Russia win. This is the position I’ve seen from .ml users.

And it’s not easy to not see that as indeed being pro‐Russian.

Yeah, but let’s not kid ourselves, overall the internet hasn’t exactly enlightened the general population.

Umm actually we also had Lemon party. But plebs like you probably haven’t heard of it.

and possibly xenophobia

Bruh what

It expresses nonchalance mainly, i think

The Latin name Claudius, which is where the French name Claude comes from, originally was an adjective meaning ‘limping, lame’. I guess it might be related to claudo ‘to close’ as well, but the usage of the name was primarily inspired by the carrier (including the Roman emperor) having a limp.

I googled the guy and this was the first image of him:

I guess he really is an expert on this topic :D

He does already look like a corpse, just look at those legs.

Impressive job on the doctors’ part, if nothing else…

based on the classic

Kind of like how socialism failing and reverting to capitalism (USSR, Yugoslavia) is the fault of capitalism.

usually

No, quite the contrary.

Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, Twitter… have paid moderators. That’s a small number of massive social media sites. Forums, including their descendants in the form of reddit and Lemmy, and IRC chatrooms with their descendants in Discord and Telegram channels, are primarily user-moderated (with paid admins intervening in more complex situations when needed). Even Facebook offers groups that function like this. Number-wise the latter sites are way more numerous (but with a smaller userbase), and historically older (if it’s not too pretentious to speak of the history of the internet). They are the default. So my point is that reddit didn’t offload the work, because nobody (especially in the early years) thought that it was reddit’s work in the first place, it’s just providing a large playground and you do the rest.

The traumatising part of moderation is dealing with child porn and similar, which is not much of an issue on traditional forums and chatrooms, and tbh I don’t think it is on reddit either. The worst the traditional mods deal with is harassment if they come across some aggressive loony.

Idk, I used to moderate two (rather tame) subforums, it was kind of like picking up trash from the ground and throwing it in the bin – not super pleasant by itself, but satisfaction came from knowing that the place is a bit better off than before.

Moderation of pretty much all traditional forums is done by volunteers, a practice that naturally extended to reddit and Lemmy. Perhaps it’s even more logical in the reddit format, since it’s the users who create and take responsibility for their subreddit, rather than having a centralised “government” deciding how to organise and moderate the place.

Wikipedia’s content is also 99% volunteer-made and volunteer-moderated.

“My” standard? It doesn’t meet the standard of your source either.

That’s no meaningful proof that he’s a groyper, even the article admits it:

In isolation, the references are vague enough to be interpreted every which way.
