Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

MODERATORS
Dear Russia and Putin, I wish to extend a few words of sympathy to you in these trying times:
LOL! Get fucked, you deserve everything you are getting.
Wish we could see the person that downvoted this
Posts are public on Lemmy. I can't speak to specific instances and apps, but in the basic web interface, "View Votes" can be found under the three dot menu of each post.
I've heard about that but I haven't seen it yet. I just get options for moderation history which is a really cool feature on its own.
I believe they can see it because they're an admin of their own instance vs a standard user (I also cannot see who voted, and I think the API keeps that data private for everyone except admins)
Totally fine with that
Agreed, there was a massive discussion about it on github where that sort of was the general outcome at the end of the day as well

Wouldn't it be funny if all these various nations just did a reverse uno and like 20 different nations started invading Russia and slicing it up for territorial gain?
Russia is so weak right now.
My dream is a united EU assault on Moscow to dethrone Putin and the Oligarchs and, hopefully, return the nation to a less corrupt state.
At this point, it could easily be done, except that Putin would nuke Europe (and probably everybody else) before going down. That is literally the ONLY reason it hasn't been done.

My dream is for wars to end, not to make new ones, but you do you I guess
I was so naive once too, but I grew out of it.
You said "my dream is". So if dreams are comming true, I'm not dreaming of an assault on Russia, I'm dreaming of an end to all wars and sufferring.

There are 20+ visual confirmations, so 40 might be close to the real number.
Slava Ukraine!
Oh no..anyways.
May Russia continue to suffer every struggle imaginable
You mean continue as it has been for the last few hundreds of years, got it.
Really, looking at world history I can't really find a time of which I think: oh, it would've been nice to be Russian back then!
Being Russia(n) is just one giant cluster fuck and has been for a very long time. Or maybe not one giant, but several very big ones with small breaks of a few years in between.
So I'm happy I live in NL.
What’s fun, is that’s not AI. He was singing “where is thumbkin” which then goes down each finger “where is Pointer… where is Tallman….”
I’m the video, that smile comes on as he says “Here is Tallman”, knowing what the gesture was.
I always wondered about that gif. Thanks!
yeah. I saw it the other day when looking for someone dropping a bird with both hands, as a reply to some of this shit. Had to check, because.... you know. Mr Rogers would never... (oh he did.)(with a smile!)
here's the full song, if you were curious about the context.
I'll be taking that. Thanks.
Oh gee that sure is unfortunate. /S
everyone liked that
The US says it's 20, and in their new capacity as an official mouthpiece for the government of Russia, you can be sure that means it's 40. Maybe more.

Soldier: Sir, Donkey 1 released! But the target is moving!
Did the carrot targeting system get installed on the target?
Soldier: Installed? I mean I put the carrots in the back of the trunk sir, as you told me!
Well done! Our work here is...bang!!!.....shit, what did you do with the other carrots?
Soldier:....
At this point they might as well buy them from China.
Although it’s arguable whether it’s worth having strategic bombers anymore. If they only need a platform to launch cruise missiles there are over platforms that can do it.
is the ccp even willingly to give them this much tech. also ccp might already got what they want out of the deal with russia some time ago. inroads into sibera for natural resources, buying thier oil at low prices.
I mean they’d just be replacing decades old planes anyways. When was the last time anyone came out with a new strategic bomber anyways? I guess stealth bombers but China doesn’t even have one.
