IMO it depends on if you are interested in the language or culture, or if you plan to be in contact with Russia or Russians. For example, do you plan to translate Russian? Do you plan to read Russian-language literature?

Will that be offensive?

Bigots deserve to be offended.

Many people HATE Russia and the language.

Not your problem if people are prejudiced against Russians for the actions of the government that lords over them. If you want to learn the language, go for it.

And it didn't end in... tragedy? Because the ending of a fart is arguably its most important quality.

See I'm an engineering major but on opposite day, like all the time. I'm unironically like "please I beg you just let me do more integrals, I don't wanna build the prototype, I just want to do all the math to control it." So whenever it's just more integrals I'm like "Finally some fucking good food" 😆

Hi I'm one of those. Can confirm I'm absolutely dreadful 😆🏴🏴🏴

Banning USian social media services doesn't stop people from wanting sites like these, nor does it protect you or your community from the impacts that these services have on the rest of the world that will unfortunately affect you.

Like why exactly do people even want to be a part of these panopticons when the negative consequences are so severe? Because I think that people mostly do understand that they are sacrificing their privacy and autonomy to these platforms, but how can we get people to understand the seriousness of these sacrifices?

Not a defense of USian social media websites BTW. I think we should burn these sites to the fucking ground. But while they're active, I don't see how banning your community from interacting with and monitoring them is a good idea.

I was already "over" Reddit and fully invested in Lemmy by the time RIF went down, but RIF actually going from 100% working to not working...I actually watched it happen. That was surreal. I think that's when it really hit me that I'm not considered economically viable anymore.

Ah. Thank you for clarifying ❤️

Sorry but I am completely 1000% confused about what you're trying to say and the sincerity/sarcasm of this post. I'm autistic and my social battery is drained today, so I'm really not able to read through the irony if it's there.

For what it's worth: I'm not sure that I really want the Democrats and Republicans to learn to "compromise" because, as history has shown, they'll compromise with each other to ratfuck anarchists, leftists, and the working class all day every day. And since both parties are liberal parties, and liberals basically exist to provide a palatable pressure valve for the capitalist class to stifle radical movements...I'm not interested in compromising with them either. Like I don't want to compromise with liberals, I want liberals to stop being liberals.
