I think it speaks for itself.

Edit: Lol, got banned for this and/or saying bad things about Russia. Transparency?

    It’s Lemmy.

    The user base is tiny. And clients have tags.

    For example, I didn’t follow you here. But, because I have your account tagged as ‘Rhodesia Lover’ I know whenever I see your account elsewhere, like here, you’re the racist that believes that unless there is a complete destruction of everyone involved that there is continuity of government.

    So, by your definition, basically the only governments that don’t have continuity are…

    I guess Paraguay before and after the War of the Triple Alliance?

      No, a good example would have been the Frelimo fight against the Portuguese colonialists in Mozambique that resulted in a declaration of independence and the creation of a new state.

      The example of Zimbabwe is is somewhere between that and the relatively reformist transition in South Africa, as Rhodesia (in agreement with their government) briefly reverted to being a British colony on paper to conduct elections which the previous rebel forces won and then formally declared independence from the UK.

      I find it highly slanderous to be labled a “Rhodesia lover” for simply stating historical facts. Rhodesia was a racist apartheit state I am absolutly opposed to.

      They’re basing their claim on their assumption that anyone who disagrees with them or downvote them is actually a sockpuppet of me, and the cretins here believe them because their tribalist dumbasses.
