    What was the subversive content? According to the court, the articles contained “non-recognition of Ukraine’s legitimately elected political leadership and democratic processes,” “comparisons with fascists and Nazis,” “negative assessments of Ukraine’s Armed Forces” and “reinterpretation of national heroes and historical figures.”

    This is the same country that exhumed and gave state honors to at least 2 nazi/nazi collaborators from multiple countries this year?

    Will we keep seeing this kind of shit on Lemmy ? Real question. Is propaganda going to always be here thanks to the absence of moderation ?

      Will we keep seeing this kind of shit on Lemmy?

      Yes, because Lemmy was created as an alternative to platforms owned by the capitalist class. https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Lemmy#History

      Lemmy was created in August 2019 by two communist developers known as Dessalines and Nutomic. Their goal for Lemmy was to provide an open-source alternative to Reddit that anyone could self-host and federate with other Lemmy instances, effectively exchanging content between platforms.

      Is propaganda going to always be here thanks to the absence of moderation?

      Propaganda is everywhere, regardless of moderation, but fascist propaganda tends to flourish in the absence of moderation, as the *chan sites show.

        Thanks for your reply. I was hoping Lemmy to become more popular ane replace reddit but maybe we shouldn’t wish it to be more popular…

          Nobody is posting “this kind of shit” on sh.itjust.works. The beauty of the threadiverse is its federation. Each Lemmy instance is moderated independently.

          Also, you can and should curate your feed. If you don’t like !worldnews@lemmy.ml, then remove it from your feed by blocking it or unsubscribing from it.

      As for the “national heroes” whom Bogdan is accused of “reinterpreting,” they are Stepan Bandera and the leaders of the OUN (Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists) and the Waffen-SS Galicia Division—Nazi collaborators who supported Hitler’s invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941 and were implicated in the mass murder of Jews and Poles. The court’s complaint about “comparisons with fascists and Nazis” refers to Bogdan’s exposure of the official rehabilitation and celebration of these forces.

      So it’s okay to be critical of nazis if being invaded? 🤔
