Anything pro-African is mostly neutral but in essence ignored.
This is sad.
I’m American, and I want the Fediverse to be Euro, Africa, South America heavy. Basically anyone but the usual suspects that dominate news. I want to see stuff from other countries.
I was fortunate enough to even visit Tanzania, and it was great. It’d be nice if you guys took over the world. Please…
Anyway, be aware that many of the authoritarian shills actually live in the US, Western Europe or wherever. Some do not, but the bulk seem to.
They’re just terminally online.
They don’t know squat about what’s actually going on in North Korea or Iran or China because lemmy.ml is banned there.

Wild seeing it here in .world and other instances all the time. People are entitled to their opinions, but so many comments praising xi or putin are detached from reality. It’s like those people don’t realize that in those countries just speaking your mind against the regime is enough to get you and your family disappeared in an instant. Wow China has great cities this is true - if you say the wrong thing online they’ll put you in a prison labor camp for decades. Ah yes pyongyang is a very clean city - 3 million people died of starvation there in the 90s, they’re experiencing another famine RIGHT NOW. Do people not realize the reality or is it turfing?

It brings to mind the Russian citizens holding “no war” signs being arrested at the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Eventually, even ones holding a blank piece of paper were being arrested.
