Reddit mods also work for free as volunteers. Don’t underestimate internet popularity and power over communities, not so many days ago there were stories about mastodon instances admins getting invited for talks at meta. Lemmy is an open source and decentralized alternative to reddit, using discord for announcements misses the whole point

looks totally unhealthy, why would i want to eat this?

governments and politicians got their hands on it

It is, it’s an addiction

lemmy.world it’s not “lemmy”

This gives out the impression they don’t care about lemmy being open source and decentralized but rather they are at it for a piece of the cake

Not the case for AI. We are at the beginning of a new era

Let me know where you sign up to renounce to public services and stop paying taxes

Objection. I would argue that Saudi Arabia ranks #1 in corruption, violence and terrorism and since we are at it i would also want to point out that the west is a partner of SA and sell them plenty of weapons.

Russia’s troll farms out here complaining about every other country, when they are globally causing the most problems.

Is Russia the country that spends more money on psyops and propaganda?

Arguing who’s less of a criminal or less of a dictator sounds like hitting the bottom of the barrel anyway and it’s exactly the game these warlords want people to play.

No military can stand up to angry people

Peace through superior firepower is something illogical that does not make much sense. There will be peace once “fighting for your country is always a good thing” propaganda is no more.

Fighting for your country is always a good thing. Its your country, your land and your people and they deserve to be protected.

Russia propaganda.

Drafting is there to protect the state and its government at the expenses of people.

The only reason they can invade another country to begin with is because they are drafting people to do it.

Yeah, we have the moral responsibility to defend our corrupted politicians and billionares who brought humanity to the brink of extinction. This system must be saved at all cost

You are mixing up bullshit. In order to defend themself one of the best thing ukrainian people can do is to ditch their own government who is drafting them to a meat slaughter over invisible lines on the map. Does this mean they have to stop fighting another authoritarian government trying to impose their laws and drafting on them? Nope, people exists with or without a flag on top of their head and a bunch of politicians ruling on them.

The really first thing you want to do is to try to be better than them

They changed their name

Don’t rest assured, for most of his history the vatican was a kingdom with his own army

You won’t also find a single country on this planet that isn’t rooted on violence and that isn’t ruled by corrupted politicians

Drafts are never justified, you don’t own anyone else life
