Bots advertising crypto scam. If you look at the first comments they're essentially all the same nonsense and just adding in random buzz words associated with crypto/ai.

A little more complicated than that, if you want to go to a community hosted on your instance (in your case lemmy.ml), you would go to https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy. This is different from the Ask lemmy hosted at lemmy.world.

To navigate to this community hosted on lemmy.world from your instance, you would instead use https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected] <your_instance>/c/@<instance_hosting_community>

Using an "!" [email protected] lets you create a clickable link for other people to a specific community.

Have you checked that your controller is set up to emulate a 360 controller? You can use https://hardwaretester.com/gamepad to see if you configured your controller correctly. (emulating xbox controller, and haven't accidently hidden the virtual controller too)

There usually isn't a benefit to having your virtual controller set as a DS4 Controller unless the game actually has support for ds4. (usually minor extra features like touch pad support but that's rarely used anyways).

I'm not sure if just deleting/GDPR an account is enough to get all of their comments removed.

Should have used an everlasting pill if they didn't want to be tracked by their poop.

A lot of the comments I've seen promoting AI sound very similar to ones made around the time GME was relevant or cryptocurrency. Often, the conversations sounded very artificial and the person just ends up repeating buzzwords/echo chamber instead of actually demonstrating that they have an understanding of what the technology is or its limitations.

I probably inferred too much from the post's title, especially after I had seen previous posts with very similar titles framing Canada as being supportive of Nazis.

While I don't agree with OP's stance of associating people today with people from +70 years ago, people have differing perspectives on things and my opinion is going to be based off of how much I perceive the two things to be relevant. To me, their stance would be like holding a person accountable because their grandparents destroying a building long before they were even born.

The issue is with conflating people from an event which occurred in the 1950s and associating it with groups of people alive currently, to me these two things are distinctly different from each other, and I wouldn't link these two things together.

Events related WWII feel irrelevant anything going on today, it's been ~75 years since then and the majority of people from that time period are already dead or >90 years old. Their actions were not influenced by people born decades after the fact, and it feels incorrect to link the two groups together. Multiple generations of people have been born in that time span further distancing people from older ideologies.

By David Pugliese Over the years some Ukrainian Canadians have staunchly defended the 14th SS Division Galicia. They have falsely claimed that Ukrainians who served in the division were conscripted, when in reality 80,000 volunteered and 13,000 were selected. Other apologists argue that the divisio...

With the title of the article/post, and the summary shown on desktop, it looked like this was just another post associating Canada with accepting Nazis/implying that people with Ukranian nationality are Nazis due to the phrasing of the title being similar to the titles used by the lemmygrad/lemmynsfw users.

It's my fault for skimming the rest of the post body, it looked that was a generic image caption crediting a photographer, followed by a short paragraph copied from the article.

This post mirrors similar posts made in /c/[email protected] and /c/[email protected] where the user making the post was trying to assert that Canada welcomes Nazi soldiers. You can skim my profile for comments I've made on those posts within the last 24hs if you want a bit of context.

Both of the original posts were deleted from their respective communities so trying to follow the comments leads to an error page informing you that the post could not be found.

Here are some screenshots I have of the users' partially censored usernames and the associated post titles which are very similar to the wording in the title used here (I'm using censored names because I'm unsure if naming users is against the rules).
lemmygrad user posting to /c/[email protected]
lemmynsfw user posting to /c/[email protected]

I'm guessing that this is getting pushed due to a recent incident involving a Canadian House of Commons speaker, and trolls have been trying to push Ukrainians as Nazis since then.

Are you that same person from lemmygrad that posted the news article from 25-years ago?

There are better sources you could have linked to than a bias tabloid with "Mixed" reporting accuracy.

https://globalnews.ca/news/9983103/anthony-rota-ukraine-nazi-unit-apology/ Global has a slightly left-center bias with "High" reporting accuracy.

“The Speaker is responsible for this chamber. He invited him of his own accord and he made the decision himself to recognize him. Neither the government of Canada nor the delegation of Ukraine had any knowledge of this.”

While I would expect some basic level of competence in being able to background check someone, it isn't reasonable to assume that people automatically know the background of someone they've most likely never heard of before.

Also, going by Rule 4, your post title does not match the Article's title, even viewing your article from Archive.org shows that the title you gave this post never matched the title of your linked article.
