Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

to explain my downvote
You should state your opinions without making aggressive, worst-faith assumptions of others. That kind of rhetoric got this republic to this point in the first place.
Off topic, but I want to say that I appreciate you explaining your downvote. Some of the downvotes on here seem entirely senseless and definitely make one wonder, "Why would anyone downvote that?" When people explain their reasoning, not only are they contributing to Lemmy in a more constructive way, but it helps other commenters gain perspective. Thank you for adding your thoughts.
"Russians control Reddit! I demand you take my assertion in good faith and be nice to me."
Okay buddy.
Yeah, you're definitely a stinking Yuri!
When people make disinformation campaigns, whether it was their intention or not, I will respond accordingly
"When people make campaigns that don't match my agenda, I will respond accordingly"
FTFY
Are you seriously defending the contents of this post?
Are you seriously defending Russia?
The other guy was disputing the objectively unlikely connection between the two posters and Russia. In your mind you somehow converted that into claiming that the poster defended Russia as such. You've stopped looking at the actual evidence and are just going off the vibes, Russia is already bad therefore every bad thing ascribed to it has to be true.
When the weakness of the connection was pointed out to the reddit OP, even he kind of stepped back. Maybe go accuse him of going soft on Russia as well? Or take a step back yourself.
Until the rubles stop coming, hey Boris?
Russia is simultaneously a shitty gas station about to collapse and just a few sanctions away, and an all-powerful entity dominating US and EU politics. Everyone who contradicts this is paid for by the state.
Russia is a shitty gas station about to collapse, that just happens to have inherited nukes from the evil empire that collapsed before them. This is literally the ONLY reason that anyone pays attention to them. Just like North Korea, Boris-the-Orc.
