Tankies.
You can't have a discussion about anything without some tankie blaming it on Ukrainians / the west / capitalism, etc.
"Oh you stubbed your toe on the table? See, tables are oppressive furniture of the bourgeoisie. The Chinese government wanted to make all tables toe-stubbing resistent, but that would affect IKEA's bottom line and the pharmaceutical industry's profits. I have a source from tankiepeoplesmagazine to back this up."
If you don't mind selfhosting, miniflux is pretty nice.
Really lightweight, downloads the full text if possible (instead of just the first paragraph), etc.
Just check out any news article outside Lemmy.world on the Ukrainian war or China.
It always gets flooded by accounts from lemmygrad and hexbear doing mental gymnastics and whataboutism to justify whatever Russia or China are doing.
Does anyone have access to your machine (local or remote)? This sounds every odd.
The fact that you're getting downvoted means that you're on topic.
Thanks! I'll check with my vps provider.
However, this proxy does not seem to be "within" the tor network itself, right? I'm just connecting someone to the first entry node on the system, correct?
Would I be transmitting unencrypted data? In other words, would an outsider be able to tell that I'm transmitting something illegal to a person accessing tor?
Thanks! Would you be able to elaborate a bit more?
It was my understanding that this is not the same thing as running an exit node.

The non-mainstream social media options will always be the ones with people with more extreme political views (on both sides of the spectrum).
Lemmy has a great deal of tankies. They seem less prominent now, because the influx of people from Reddit diluted them.
Perfect is the enemy of good.
Tried searching it using my searxng instance, and I can still find it (still indexed by duckduckgo, yahoo and Alexandria).
Don't know if has been fixed, but I guess it's an argument for using metasearch engines: get some redundancy, don't rely on just one source.
Have a look at comments in any news article regarding Ukraine. They will simp for Russia just because they are not US allies.
A tankie is commonly used to refer to someone who blindly defends the actions of the USSR, China, North Korea, etc. Going as far as denying human rights abuses and genocide.
It's not the same thing as woke.
