As well they should.
For a better lemmy experience, remember to block lemmy.ml , lemmygrad, and hexbear.net . On mbin, use URL spec /d/<domain_name> and block. Or since that doesn’t seem to work, just block their communities whenever they pop-up.
Moved on to the better fediverse platform, mbin, avoid lemmy instances: https://github.com/jointhefediverse-net/jointhefediverse.net/blob/main/README.md (scroll to bottom)

There’s a lot of gaslighting on Lemmy, specially because of the nature of by and whom it was founded for. Troll factories play both sides: https://www.wired.com/story/russia-indictment-twitter-facebook-play-both-sides/
Oh, they can do something about it. It’s another matter entirely that they will because it’s well outside their comfort zones.
A lot of it was built with US soft power, but a lot of it was kept in check because of US soft power. I wouldn’t place bets on everything suddenly toppling to the ground, because that’d be ignoring the opportunities that have been made by removing the soft power barriers. It’s as foolish to assume as claiming to be able to take Ukraine in three days.
