He made numerous overtures to try and ‘avoid’ a conflict from breaking out.

Putin: "If you allow this country to have protection from me invading it, I'm going to invade it."
U.S.: "Yeah... we're going to consider allowing them protection from you."
Putin: "Oh no... somebody stop me from invading this other country...! Here I go, I'm gonna invaaaade..."
U.S.: "Okay."
[Putin invades Ukraine, begins murdering Ukrainians]
U.S., months later: "Alright that's enough, we're going to help these Ukranians to keep you from murdering them."
Putin and his sheep: "tHe U.S. iS wArMoNgErInG!!!1!!"

Then you are morally okay with Ukraine being wiped off the map and the murder of as many of its citizen as Putin's army can manage.

Really it works just to call them "subs" the same way we did for subreddits, because you subscribe to them.

+1 for MFA. MFA all the things. Mastodon has it, Lemmy should too.

Nuclear fusion, the technology that's always 10 to 20 years away.

Yeah I think I'm getting it now, browsing midwest.social then subbing to the communities that I want from there here on lemmy.ml. Thanks!

Or, we'll bolster Ukraine's military until they kick the shit out of the pathetic remains of Russia, they'll rise up and kill Putin, and then struggle for the next few decades to get out of the dark ages that Putin sent them back into.

In the end I don't really give a shit what a tankie bot account has to say, so have a day.

(edit) - Wow it's only been like 24 hours since I've been on Lemmy and I've been in arguments with and been down voted by tankies and fascist supporters.

There were plenty of people back in the day that said the U.S. should stay out of Europe and the Pacific. That we should just let the Nazis and Japan do what they pleased. Those people were either cowards or traitors.

In the end, it's clear one country is the aggressor and must be stopped before they wipe out the other. Your argument boils down to "nah, fuck them Ukranians, let them die because Putin wants it". Nope.

It's Putin's war. He can end it when he likes by getting the fuck out of Ukraine.

Great, thanks!

Ah, so I see that I still don't fully understand how it works. :)

Can I still post and comment in those communities while logged in through lemmy.ml?

~~Just figured it out myself - in the top-left menu, click your username and then +Add Account, then you can enter the URL of the Lemmy server you want to connect to along with your credentials. You can then switch back and forth between your logins on the different servers.~~

(edit) - Or do what @[email protected] said below. I don't know what I'm doing. :P

Of note - while logged into any one instance, you can also pick from the various filtering options:

  • Subscribed - List posts only from communities you're subscribed to
  • Local - List posts only from communities in this Lemmy instance/server
  • All - List posts from all (federated) Lemmy instances/servers

So, selecting "All" at any given time will show you posts from all servers that are federated (share creds) with Lemmy.ml.
