• Ukraine says it has liberated four villages in the south-east, calling these the first settlements won back from Russia since Kyiv’s counter-offensive began
  • On Monday morning, officials reported that “the national flag is once again waving” over Storozhove, in the Donetsk region
  • A day earlier, footage showed Ukrainian troops celebrating in Blahodatne and Neskuchne - and a minister said nearby Makarivka was also taken
  • The settlements are relatively small - and Moscow is yet to confirm any retreat
  • The Institute for the Study of War backs up Kyiv’s claims, saying Ukraine captured “multiple settlements” along the frontline over the weekend

        Run out of town as the migration continues? Do you… not understand how the fediverse works? Do you not understand you’re posting on lemmy.ml right now, and lemmy.ml will never defederate from my instance, lemmygrad.ml?

        You’re not on Reddit anymore, and I would be happy to give you the crash course.

          And yet you will be overrun until lemmy.ml stops accepting new sign-ons, and the new users are all going to continue calling out and outvoting you and yours. You’ll be downvoted to oblivion. Because we’re not going anywhere, and there’s more of us than there are of you.

            Oh no, not the downvotes. Anything but the downvotes.

            Are you 12? Do your parents know you’re online without supervision? Maybe they should explain this federation thing to you.

              Bullying game is weak, bro. Welcome to the Eternal September. Hilarious that you think Lemmy.ml is immune to defederation, too, just because a developer is a tankie and you rats have been enjoying your little cesspool corner of the fediverse. It’s almost like you don’t understand this whole federation thing. There are more decent instances than there are putin-apologists, get used to it.

                  Looking at your username and profile, same lol. Yeah, eternal September is a phrase that means something to those of us that have been on the internet long enough to know how communities migrate.

                    i’m well aware of what the eternal september was, just commenting here that if you think a couple radlibs coming to lemmy for a few days before the reddit thing dies down and then melting down over checks notes communists existing is going to be anything other than an opportunity to make fun of you guys you’re delusional lol

                Your best insult is to threaten me with downvotes (which don’t do anything on Lemmy, maybe you would like to read the documentation, there are even pictures to make it easy for you, and we’re working on a kids’ version written in a nursery rhyme, maybe that one will be more your level!) and then do “no you” lmao

                Yeah, I’m not worried about the “migration” if you’re the best they got 😂

                  Lmfao you’re not worth my best insult. I’m just sitting back watching all the new users join and laughing at you and yours. But keep defending authoritarian dictatorships 🤡

                    “I-I totally… totally have a comeback! I just- I just don’t want to waste it on you! 😭”

                    You’re tripping over yourself, it would be best for you to save face and disengage before you ridicule yourself any further.

                It’s almost like you don’t understand this whole federation thing.

                If you defederate from communists it just means that you don’t see their posts. Other people do though.

                When people defederate others with the goal of political manipulation (as you are implying is a good thing) it means that communists get to refute your comments and you don’t see them, but others do.

                All you do is take yourselves out of the conversation.

            Uhh, you have -9 and literally nobody has upvoted you.

            And why are you obsessed with internet points rather than actual correctness and education?
