Remembering to look for and ignore folks with that telltale indicator has made the fediverse so much more enjoyable.

    Except I’ve literally seen several of those blanket defenses on ml, as well as posts claiming that these countries aren’t even dictatorships, as well as posts justifying and defending Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and placing the blame for the continuing war on Ukraine for not surrendering. All of which I’ve seen posted, and upvoted uncritically on ml

      Agree with them or not, there are justifications and defenses for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Again, you don’t have to like those reasons but you should understand what they are, and why people might honestly use them. And no, .ml isn’t immune to circlejerking anymore than .world is, but there is genuine discussion there if you care to engage in good faith with radically different points of view.
