This has happened once before and they reversed it. But they said this last time too:

The discussions that have happened in various threads on Lemmy make it very clear that removing the communites before we announced our intent to remove them is not the level of transparency the community expects, and that as stewards of this community we need to be extremely transparent before we do this again in the future as well as make sure that we get feedback around what the planned changes are, because lemmy.world is yours as much as it is ours.

    you conflate the safety of the state of Taiwan and Ukraine with the people

    I don’t understand what you’re trying to say

          How am I to tell who is a tankie, vs a wumao, vs a Russian bot troll? It can be hard to tell who is commenting in good faith.

          I’m kidding, of course. I just block them all. No one using these talking points is worth my time.

          Surely anyone who isn’t just begging for rivers of foreign blood must be a robot. Just inconceivable that anyone could want less bloodshed.

            Why engage with someone who uses a complete hyperbolic strawman like this

      A state and it’s people’s interests aren’t the same.

      Take self-determination movements; the people in eastern Ukraine want to leave, the state of Ukraine doesn’t want to give up territory.

      Supporting the state in this case is opposing the people, supporting the people is opposing the state.

      If I was in Russia, I’d have pointed at Syrian Kurdistan before the US invasion/occupation of Syria.
