If its Russians today it will be you next,
Too fuckin right. And all it will take is the slightest perception of disloyalty to the empire to provoke imperial aggro.
That’s why I left Reddit a while back, I only look at fight videos on there now. I was basically just going through random subs (non-political I may add) and seeing just rotten shit written about Russians and Belarusians. I took issue and defended Belarus bc they didn’t even do anything wrong. I got a bunch of comments that probably would’ve been reported if it wasn’t for the war which made Russophobia so much more mainstream. Seriously just sick shit about how Russia and Belarus should be nuked, how ALL Russian men(not Slavic bc that would apparently be racist, yep that makes sense to me) are rapists deep down (I sorta turned someone around on that point, but I think they just acted like that because they got downvoted to shit for that.) or how Russia uses NeoNazis in their military (Projection much?)
how ALL Russian men(not Slavic bc that would apparently be racist
Tbh they probably don’t consider Russians Slavic to begin with. Because Slavic to them means muh winged hussars defending YUUUROOOP from invading hordes. And Russia? Russia is the horde.
I genuinely don’t know what Reddit thinks of Russia tbh. I’m not on Reddit too much these days (unless it’s fight videos as I mentioned previously) but I feel like Russia is the embodiment of Slavs being represented as a people. I’m slavic and I definitely recognize Russia as the most slavic nation (in the sense that old Slavic culture is preserved well and more culturally normative than modern Western culture, also they have 130 million+ slavic people in the nation) Like maybe Latvia or Slovakia could be considered the home of Slavics, but the statistics overwhelmingly show Russia is the home of Slavs. They have the most slavs and people definitely associate the “slav squat” and Hardbass which I absolutely love both lol, with Russia. I don’t doubt you that people are trying to disassociate Russia w Slavs, but as a Slav I gotta say I don’t think it will work as intended
Absolutely, the speed in which they dehumanised those and calling for mass murder of “orcs” was eye opening.
In the same way that they went from “just the government not the people” to “asiatic hordes” which applies to the two big countries that Redditors now openly call for genocide and enslavement.
same
No, i joined earlier.

Yes, I joined around the time. Today’s my one year anniversary.
Happy bread day!
Thanks mate
Likewise, mine was yesterday
I lurked r/GenZedong many months before it got quarantined; after which I lurked Lemmygrad for some months before deciding to finally join.
I came to lemmygrad because of the GenZ stuff but I didn’t have to make an account or be vetted. I think I was grandfathered in from my Lemmy account which I made back in the good ol Chapo days.
Cheers to a fellow Chapo fan
no, i’m not from reddit. i don’t remember how do i found this place, actually. maybe thanks to lemmy or leftypol
Yes. I didn’t had verified email and couldn’t even read genZ posts
Indirectly, i joined when i was banhammered by the new management few days after quarantine.
Yes, exactly when we went off r*ddit after quarantine
I had a lemmygrad account before from a recommendation but didn’t use it all that often until the purge.
somewhat (i was never active on gzd but i started lurking here after the gzd purge) i mainly joined not only to finally make an account on this site but to use a alternative to reddit other then hexbear
i saw a post in one of those “rule” offshoot subreddits dedicated to tankies cant remember which or if they even exists still about lemmygrad and i got curious so i joined but i mostly didnt visit this place untill genzedong got killed so not literally but kinda.
