    Uk citizens voted to leave the European Union and probably couldn’t find Ukraine on a map.

    There is no point, literally no point asking them such questions, unless ….oh yah, the government is manufacturing consent for more money Ukraine, while telling its citizens there is no money for schools.

        This account (that you responded to) was created a mere few hours ago. It might even have been created purely to troll people, possibly by someone who has gotten used to being banned using a recognizable account name.

        On PieFed I find it very helpful to see an icon next to people’s names indicating brand-new accounts. Some Lemmy apps can do that as well (I switched over to Voyager here to see if it would, but nope, at least not by default). Anyway I wanted to point out that it is a very useful feature, for exactly such scenarios as this!

          Accounts less than 30 days old can be highlighted in voyager by going to settings > general > comments > new account highlightanator

          As you say, probably a troll.

            Thanks - I actually had the setting turned on already but triggering it off and back on again caused it to start working properly, for whatever reason. Indeed that is a helpful indicator:-).

      Confirmed. British people are low information voters and easily manipulated. See also voting for Boris Johnson
