    It’s surprising seeing so much Ukraine hate in one comments section. Did something major happen that changed public opinion?

      Are you talking about Lemmy? A relatively large bunch of people here are actual real communists, which by some weird thought process becomes a pro-Russian position. So everything Ukraine does or is is wrong if you ask those people.

      Best not ask those people.

        Communists are very against fascist Russia. It’s just a small totalitarian-minded group masking as communists here who support Russia or some honeypot/psyop

          I don’t think it makes much sense for them to be active in such a small thing as Lemmy. I think these people are genuinely like they seem.

            Why not? No doubt it’s way easier to set up a bunch of bots accounts here than somewhere like Twitter or Reddit. They don’t even have to worry about looking legit because most of the users here are new accounts.

      This is lemmy.ml, which is full of clueless tankies who confuse modern fascist Russia with the Soviet Union and love to consume Russian and Chinese propaganda. Anything “Western” is automatically bad and evil (those damn Anglos or something) and since Ukraine is backed by NATO, it has to be the bad guy. Take a wild guess at what the “.ml” means.

      I guess what changed is that you are not on reddit anymore where nations advertise their propaganda. Ukraine government declared martial law, they are basically a dictatorship.
