They are not pro United States, but I don’t think they are against America. They have a big modern army, and a good strategic position. They are pro Ukrania and against Russia imperialism. They are looking for their own benefit in every negotiation and sometimes that doesn’t align with what the West wants and that’s makes some people thinks Turkey = bad. It is a Muslim majority country and they have a lot of cultural differences with the cultural christian west. Some people have beef against the president Erdogan. I don’t like him either but he is not the dictator some people wants us to belive. Like it or not, he won the last election fair and square. People can be against him but that’s how democracy works. In general, I think they are an ally, the type who doesn’t want to take direct orders or doesn’t want you to tell them what to do.

I think it is very well explained. You don’t need to go to other instance to follow them.

They are just merging with another community for convenience.

I don’t get why are you so upset. It’s not a big deal.

Also, you can create your own community in any instance you want.

I was using Bacon Reader for Android for the last 10 years. For me it was the only way of using Reddit. I’m now checking Lemmy. I hope we can build a vibrant community here. I’m not coming back to Reddit.
