I dare you to scroll these comments until you find a hexbear CCP cuck insulting the “liberal west”, it’ll be a fun 20 seconds.
Hexbear’s defederated on my instance, thankfully.
.ml, too? That one is pretty sus.
How can we request defederation?
And what is stopping all the bad ru actors from just joining and infiltrating .world anyway?
.ml’s still federated. I’m guessing that people are reluctant to defederate the instance run by the Lemmy devs. People will probably start cutting ties when Sublinks hits the scene.
That and there are unfortunately and very sadly a number of not insignificant open source projects that have a significant communities there. Though it might be better to rip the Band-Aid off now than to continue to let it fester and grow.
“Tankie” and “subtlety” do not go together. They’re pretty easy to spot even when they hide on other instances.
I see only 100% mocking Russia
This month’s list of executions is relatively long
88% is so typical - for Nazis it means the eight letter of the alphabet twice, which means “Heil Hitler”. Given that the Z symbol of his genocidal war looks like a half Swastika we can now finally agree: Putin is the reincarnation of Hitler.
Yep, search “Wolfgang vom Schemm” German draughtsman and graphic designer…
Why … Ummm… Why are they lumpy?
He keeps Hitler’s cap as a relic. In the Temple of the Armed Forces.
Give him a mustache and no one can tell the difference.
He’s a “we have Hitler at home” type of situation.
Would you vote against him knowing that could be your death?
Not voting would have been the only answer, as the other parties are basically controlled opposition. Yet, not voting would also count as a unpatriotic move, thus exposing you? I don’t know. Sure enough, Russia has a story of antidemocratic centralised powers, be they Tzars or party leaders. And for any neighboring country, that has always been a problem.
invalidating the ballot. Not not voting. There is a big difference. I am not sure how the terms are in English and whether there is a parallel, but you can “vote against everyone” - your count will count to the total percentage vs your vote is lost.
And yes, some people were absolutely forced to vote. But make no mistake, even if the elections were “free”, the actual result does not matter at all. Numbers were drawn no matter what happened during the election.
What actually matters and I am very disappointed to hardly see any coverage in the media - a ton of people showed up to Noon Against Putin. Even in Russia. Navalny’s last wish was for people to go vote on the last day at noon and the lines were impressive. (It is not a meeting, you are literally just standing in line to vote, they can’t arrest you.) If you’re unhappy with the current state of affairs, just show up. Even if you have already voted, just show up on the voting point at noon. And people did. And they saw that there are many.
Needless to say, with few places you were able to vote abroad, and less persecution to be feared, the lines were humongous. Surely, the Berlin embassy made sure how to cause a disgraceful bottleneck to keep people from voting before it closed.
Btw, you can see exit polls from Russians outside of Russia made by independent volunteers on voteabroad.info . But keep the bottlenecks in mind and that many people stood in line for 9+ hours and didn’t get to vote, so they are not represented in the results.
88% is a little too on the nose, Putin
Wasn’t the previous one somewhere in the 90-ish percent? This is a huge loss!
According to the article, this was his biggest win yet
I made a joke about that percentage the day before this farce – I can’t call them elections – but I never thought that would become a reality. Secondly, are we going to accept elections held in a territory occupied by military forces. Nobody should be that naive.
I agree with you, the entire thing was a farce. There’s no way he LEGITIMATELY got 88% of the vote. Just another dictator, doing dictator things.
nah, was around 76 iirc
Fitting victory number for a nazi…
One of my favorite traditions is world leaders congratulating Putin the day before Russian elections.

Where?
Isn’t this a failure? He didn’t have any real opposition, 88% is an abysmal result.
Say you’re a dictator without saying you’re a dictator
88?? I can’t believe that, with all these candidates!!
I suspect that Trump will congratulate him on his win soon.
Election, my arse 🤦🏻♂️
My 127% prediction can still be realized. The 400k+ votes from
theUkraine still need to come in. That has some delay as not all registered voters have been identified…Why do people keep calling it “the Ukraine”? Serious question.
Because in English it used to be called that before its independence in 1991. It’s now considered wrong and demeaning though.
A similar issue exists in other languages, so it’s also likely that the error repeatedly gets carried over when translated to English.
Ah, TIL. It sounds really weird to me, like saying “the Germany” or “the France”.
My language doesn’t use articles like “a” or “the” so similar issues don’t exist here at all.
A more accurate comparison is “The Palatinate”, “The Pale”, “The Highlands” or “The Yucatan” - it’s still wrong but it’s not unheard of for regions defined by a predominant geographic feature.
Ukraine is not a predominant geographic feature? Like, I know what the name means, but for English speaking people the word doesn’t mean anything?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_of_Ukraine Check out the “English definite article” section
Interestingly enough one of my examples shares that distinction and is just arbitrary. “The Pale” is drawn from the same root as pallisade and basically means fence post… it’s basically “What the English claim” and it’s a completely arbitrary region.
88? He’s slipping!
He’s down a solid 35%!
58
I think it’s just his version of coming out of the closet.

The only surprise is that he hasn’t won by 187%.
Yeah, he’s down by about 40% of his usual vote. That must be all the dissidents!
