Folks is our reputation improving? I'm seeing pretty even splits in terms of people defending our instance vs. scratched libs. Some even saying we changed their minds on things.

    Yeah I think global platforms showing the genocide have been a massive problem for libs. It's hard to feel morally superior to someone while you're defending the people mutilating children on a post showing the mutilated kids. It starts to puncture the illusion of being the reasonable good guy when you're telling people to ignore the bodies.

    You can tell the US is SUPER pissed that the truth about Palestine got traction.

    And their vassals too, like Germany is arresting Jews for antisemitism because they criticized Israel and France just did a public intimidation spectacle arrest of a nurse who was back from Gaza and telling people what really happens there.

    You can tell the US is SUPER pissed that the truth about Palestine got traction. (The whole reason they want to ban TikTok is because they believe that was the weak link in their control of the narrative)

    European libs with Telegram now too.

    Unironically, y'all are my friends, like real friends. Not anyone specific, just the person reading this. I hope I've been as nice to you all as you've been to me over the years (shit I've been here a few years now).

    I'd say that's true. There's a lot of well read people here who are absolutely willing to be patient with someone who was combative from the start or the second it's apparent they didn't read the room and thought whatever arrogant platitudes they posted were gonna go over just fine and then didn't. They come to our house and act out of line, they're gonna get ripped to shreds because it's our space.

    I only joined 9 months ago but in the 4 or so months I was on lemm.ee y'all changed some of my perspectives on the DPRK

    Propaganda works both ways. Keep up the posting comrades kim-salute
