Almost under a day. I can now see .world, midwest.social, .ee and others in my feed.

Well we would also not want to be here if .ml was favoured over any other instance, that would kinda make the idea of federation a bit pointless.

Hmmmm, and it does not help the controversy when this issue seems to happen to then fill smaller instances with .ml posts…

Yeap, no point in using mander right now ether.

Maybe I should just crosspost this to !mander@mander.xyz

Well there is a big issue with LW to any smaller instances if this is working like you think. Right now being on mander is like having less then half of lemmy and I would guess that if it can happen with mander it can/is happening with others.

And you can now say you helped!

Would it also be safe to assume you are an American (the country not the containment) citizen?

This is a story about a Swedish claim on russian interference in their internal politics with the assumed attempt of disrupting Sweden bid for NATO.

I hate to have to say this but making everything about the US is how you get a US centric world. I assume as you seem to think the cold war is still on (meaning russia is still the USSR) you would not have missed that the news cycle is full of US fuck ups, global missplays and dastardly acts. You seem to think that when there is an active war on in Europe and a European nation makes a statement about another European nation doing a bit of a nasty this is some how not the time for European issues but that we must now talk about the evils the US of A or the “west” in general has done before.

Oh its much older then the cold war “Tu quoque” style arguments go way back. I would still call it out no matter where or who it was directed at.

This is a post about a country doing something shitty, to then excuse shitty actions with a “but look at what other country does” is not calling out hypocrisy but to in fact encourage and endorse those shitty actions.

I am honestly looking for my defence of any “west” and coming up empty. And I think you might have just done whataboutism recursion. Neat!

Ah Whataboutism, classic
