Geopolitics - Lemmy.ca
lemmy.ca
For serious consideration of world politics as it relates to the growing multipolar world reality. Basic rules: Be KIND, polite, civil, and understanding. Racism and/or hate will not be tolerated. Dialogue helps with understanding. #BLM #AboringinalRights No, identity politics, don’t matter when the World is aflame!

The sole moderator doesn’t even follow their own rules: https://lemmy.ca/post/22741340?scrollToComments=true

I’ll just say it - it’s a Russian propaganda community. Is there any reason this community needs to exist on Lemmy.ca? Is there a rule against blatant astroturfing / propaganda / misinformation? I don’t think the 5 rules in the sidebar are going to be enough to stop an army of trolls:

No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, > or xenophobia. Be respectful. Everyone should feel welcome here. No porn. Use the NSFW tag when needed. No Ads / Spamming. Bot accounts need to be flagged as such in their settings.

Maybe time to get ahead of it?

    Some random thoughts on this for a second…

    Is lemmy.ca a community? Or is it just a grouping of communities?

    Is lemmy.ca the community or is it all of federated lemmyverse that’s the community?

    I would lean towards all of lemmy being the community, since a users likely lean towards browsing all rather than local. I know the regular users I interact with are global, not just our users. They all contribute to the sense of community in a larger sense than just our instance.

    Given the community feeling is maybe not specific to an instance, does every /c/ needs to contribute to that specific instances sense of community?
