Apparently there's an issue with some instances banning users for criticizing authoritarian governments. Is lemmy.world a safe place to criticize governments?

The rape and torture of combatants and civilians?

Who's "they"? "The Russians"? The issue with generalizing and demonizing people is that not all Russians support Putin and not all Russians are genocidal maniacs who want to wipe out Ukraine..

Why are you bothering to turn this plight onto the Russians who are not currently being targeted by any of the above?

Anti-Putinist Russians are very much targeted.. Why is there no place to defend both Ukrainians and the Russian people who don't support Putin? Why do you have to dumb it down to a "Ukrainians vs Russians"?
