My tax dollars were spent on genocide. Fucking gross.

they're also going to propaganda that your primary instance is (hopefully) unwittingly helping propagate on the lemmyverse,

What propaganda is lemm.ee spreading? Are you thinking of lemmy.world?

it's the same thing that legacy media and reddit/facebook/etc. does; they help advance the efforts of people who are unaware that they've been propagandized and then give them a platform to help them unknowingly help spreading that propaganda.

this is the best case scenario for .ee and what i believe is happening; the same is true for .world.
