Looking at the admin's profile, he seems to be very reasonable. I especially like this comment he made: "Not sure if I actually have to justify removing soviet and/or nazi symbolism, but I have lived my whole life in a country on the border of Russia. My country been ravaged by both Nazis and Soviets in very recent history. I want to be clear that while I think criticising capitalism is totally normal and necessary, I am also extremely aware of constant Kremlin propaganda. Propaganda which is spread both in their media, but also crucially in online channels. Propaganda which includes things like downplaying horrifying actions of the soviet union, portraying their “enemies” (the west) in the worst possible light, and mixing in soviet symbolism wherever possible. I have no intention of allowing anything which resembles this propaganda to be spread through lemm.ee. If banning offending users does not work, then further steps will definitely be taken." permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] maegul@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago Yep ... seems refreshingly and perfectly reasonable to me. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Buffaloaf@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (2 children) My country been ravaged by both Nazis and Soviets in very recent history.
