I wonder what its like to see the proliferation of Russian propaganda via a medium you created, it must be very disheartening. At least he gets to see it used for good like this too.


Putin seems to be rather shutting down web services in Russia. It's probably easier to control a narrative through TV (a medium that already existed 33 years ago) than through messy social media.

So just in terms of the current crisis, I'd say this invention is arguably doing more good than bad on average (allowing refugees to connect to relatives, coordinating help, enabling OSINT, various projects to inform Russian citizens, like the website with advice for how to talk to Russian relatives who are in denial,...).


Ukraine propaganda is not "good," Russian propaganda is not "bad"

Not a single condemnation of the Nazi affiliation yet, from anyone in the Western media.

They don't want to state plainly, that in this mega-reductionist viewpoint we all are conformed into, it is the Nazi's vs Russia.

I don't support Nazis. Guess I'm pro-Putin.


well, don't worry too much. He's using the day to attempt to redress the balance for Ukraine and LGBTQI+ people in Ukraine!


lol
