    What would you call over a million people fleeing their homes, while the government of the land they live on is shelling those very homes and passing legislation to make their very existence impossible? What would you call parents fleeing with their children in a desperate attempt to keep them safe? Would it be acceptable to leave orphans in an orphanage with artillery shells dropping all around and fire fights happening just down the street? Would you be alright with parents deciding to stay in their war torn village just so that they don’t cross a border in to what you’ve determined as enemy territory? What would you call a violent terror campaign over a decade long being waged against millions of people just because of the langauge they speak and the area they come from?

        Yep. Give it time, a lot of these communities are still basically brand-new, and moderation tools are in their infancy. Long term, I don’t think Russian trolls will find Lemmy all that welcoming for their garbage.
