Hungary has taken some big positive steps lately, which made me very happy for my european neighbors! It’s not all doom and gloom. Armenia also kept their distance from the russians, much to my delight.
Comment on Has anyone else noticed the strong pro CCP and anti-west vibes here?

Although I'd say it generally skews to the political left, it's a mistake to think of the fediverse as a monoculture. Lemmy as an open source technology is politically neutral, as is ActivityPub as a federation protocol.
At the same time, there are a few hard left communist "tankie" servers, and the creators of Lemmy identify as Leninists, and these types of people tend to be blindly pro-China and pro-Russia.
Personally I do not view either China or Russia in a favorable light... Having said that, I'm not sure I view any country in a favorable light right now, aside from I guess Canada and I guess New Zealand.

Why should we restrict ourselves to countries? Let us take inspiration from societies such as the Rojava (which do need help, in staving off the new repressive Syrian regimes), the Zapatistas, and Christiana. Those are great.

Indeed. That would be far too reasonable though.
