    My expectation was that it was evidence of a disagreement with my comments sourced with something other than a swipe at my general intellect or capability, but I see my standards were too high. I never made a statement that the Russian perspective should never be listened to, my statements were very specific to this event.

        Whew, with the number of people who sideswipe at .ml I try not to look at things that way, but in this case…

          There are some great instances out there if you want to leave .ml

          Lemm.ee is great. No weird censorship or propaganda like ml

            It’s a weird thing - I gravitated towards .ml because it doesn’t federate with threads (not sure of ee, I will check), had a decent userbase (not sure why I thought that mattered), and I liked the idea that most people on the instance would be to the left of me (again, really doesn’t matter in the end I guess, it just felt more comfortable that way than being amongst what I’d perceive as a bunch of conservatives) - since then I’ve learned of the reputation of .ml, but on the other hand aside from the occasional snark from folks I don’t think it impacts me much, unless there are things I’m missing I don’t realize. (which is possible)

            But I appreciate the suggestion. I’ve been considering whether I want to move based on the above - I suppose I could create an account elsewhere and see how different the Lemmy experience is or isn’t as a result…

              Yeah that all makes sense. I dont want anything to do with Threads/Meta either.
