    There are 20 Israel stories to every 1 Ukraine story on Lemmy.

    Regardless of your opinion on the matter, this platform is being heavily astroturfed, and so are many other “liberal” platforms. It’s actually way worse here than on Reddit.

      Of course there are, and I probably post 3 of the 20.

      Other than the alt-right, you’re not going to find any support for Russia in the West.

      Why would we need to raise awareness and keep posting about Ukraine to the same level as Palestine?

        Bruh I literally got banned from .ml twice just for mentioning the fact that Russia shot down a civilian airliner in Ukraine. You are completely delusional if you don’t see that a significant portion of these idiots are up Putin’s ass.

          You absolute little liar.

          the deceptive practice of presenting an orchestrated marketing or public relations campaign in the guise of unsolicited comments from members of the public.

          I am a real person, with an ethical obligation to stand up against genocide. There is no deception, I am a member of the public, what I am doing is called activism.

            So, you admit that you are flooding this platform to deliberately present one story as more dominant in the news cycle than others in order to misrepresent its relevancy to current events?

            You can argue definitions and semantics all day, but that is what you’re doing - and it’s dishonest at best.

              You are saying posting on aggregate media sites is dishonest?

              That is just ridiculous.

      Probably something to do with my country financing the underdog in one of these fights and the war criminals in the other.

      Do yourself a favor block grad and ml it cleans up a lot of bad faith arguments.
