If any salty Nazi cheerleaders want to complain that this isn’t a news source, you’re wrong. This is an active military correspondent’s blog giving a timeline for events which are not debatable. Better luck next time.

… which has 4 upvotes and 1 downvote.

I would bet money that one or two of the upvotes on it are from the .ml moderation/admin team.

I tried using lemvotes.org to check the votes, but I have had trouble getting that site to work for checking votes on some comments. Not sure why.

Edit: also having trouble checking votes on the post as well. Odd.

I think whatever shadow instance lemvotes uses either doesn’t federate with .ml or .ml blocked it (I can’t imagine why they’d do that though!/s lmao)
