You're supposed to capitalize the name of countries, and not geo-poltical regions...
Hell, by your logic since you capitalized trump and republicans it means you support them and not that you're fighting autocorrect to make a very very small point.
One thing people look for is an unfamiliarity with the convoluted rules of English. Like not knowing what gets capitalized...
But by 2024 most people have realized social media comments rarely have that much thought put into them. If say a good way is looking at where they spend their time. We know from a recent study (can't be bothered to Google it right now).
But it's safe to say people with nefarious reasons for posting wouldn't spend their time on one of the smallest social media platforms.
Like, just think about it rationally for a second. Why wouldn't they do it on Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, TikTok, or somewhere else their audience would be tens or hundreds of millions? Why spend the same amount of effort where even if it takes off, your audience is like not going to exceed more than a few thousand at most?
I'm just fucking tired of people constantly accusing each other of being professional state actors.
It's something trump would do...
I have no interest in the substance of the argument which has nothing to do with the grammar, but, yes you are. “We need to go west to reach the river” is lower case, “we need to align with the West to reach our goals” is capitalized.
Correct. Trump and Republicans are also proper nouns.
Look up. The point went right over your head.
That’s a HUGE wall of text to illustrate that you don’t understand proper grammar. You absolutely capitalize the West when referring to a nation.
It's not about grammar rules. It's about the psychology behind the specific choices.
Like using "females" in a social setting. It tells a lot.
Because these things aren't mutually exclusive, that's why. They're doing it on allplatforms. You found your way here. Do you think the average or even specifically trained Russian is so much dumber they couldn't find their way here..?
That sounds rather racist, bro.
I'm sure they could...
I'm saying it would be a waste of their time.
I hope you don't need another reply to understand, you'll have to ask someone else.
Why exactly? Catching trolls is much easier on popular sites like the ones you listed. Sure, there are more of them, but also more of them are constantly flagged. Fediverse has no such overarching moderation, as you well know.
You don't see how that's a massive advantage?
I hope you don't need another reply to understand, you'll have to ask someone else.
