There’s plenty being reported on and shared here on lemmy about Ukraine
This meme hits. Seeing silence here on something that matters feels like everyone pretending the world is still a neutral debate club, when it’s not. Either you’re posting support, facts, and ways to help, or you’re choosing to be quiet while others suffer. There’s no moral grey zone.
If you think “no politics” means ignoring war crimes and refugees, you’re part of the problem. Post a link, donate, boost reliable sources, or at least stop amplifying propaganda. It’s not about taking sides for sport, it’s about basic human decency.
And yeah, keep your beer if you want, but at least put the bottle down long enough to do one small thing that actually helps.
There’s just too many things to support. Rather than pick and choose what I’m going to virtue-signal today, I just…don’t bother.
My work avatar is a sunflower field against a blue sky which is non-political on its own but looks like the Ukranian flag and has been my avatar since 2022.

The endless feud over “How hard should we cheer for Ukraine” really required some good news coming from the Ukrainian front. And we’ve run out of Ghosts Of Kiev to cheer for. Absent a Biden Regime willing to cut Zelenskyy billion dollar checks, a Ukrainian defense force that’s running on anything other than mercenaries and unwilling conscripts, or the odd comedy-style Prigozhin march on Moscow, does anyone want to tune in for another edition of “400 people dead, Russia advances 10 meters” headlines?
Really doesn’t help that Jeff Bezos is firing reporters on the front-lines of the war zone, either.
I haven’t noticed any anti-Ukraine sentiment and have seen plenty of news and updates on the ongoing situation.
We’re seeing similar news voids around Gaza, the newest failed efforts at regime change in Iran and Venezuela, and Trump’s clumsy groping of Greenland. The US economy is teetering and everyone’s waiting with baited breath to see if there’s another big market crash, which will curtail all our foreign policy adventures for the foreseeable future.
So it might just be the vacuum created by an enormous AI sucking sound that you’re noticing.
I wonder what would happen if someone made an issue on the GitHub?
Next make a meme where PieFed.social had its icon as the Ukrainian flag and then subsequently cycled through just about every cause for weeks before settling back on the iconic pie symbol. The contrast between PieFed and Lemmy was never more apparent to me than that (not a true statement but it feels good to say it so imma leave it here😋🍰🥧).
