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.

I have a lot to discuss there, yet I won't, as this topic may be easily driven into a pit when we consider too many things in that complex and maddening situation.
From the european pov it's needed to take out agency from individual russians and see only the state calling the shots. Because it is. And it really doesn't matter how many of them do believe the myth, how many are pushed by the guns to their backs, they still shoot and dig trenches.
There is no use of going deeper as long as this power structure persists. And the time for protests and opposition is long gone by that point. The only thing to make one's empathy matter and for russians to get a hold of their state is to first crush the cancer core of putinism. It's not someone other's responsibility to make their state right, yeah, but they can't do it themselves, and as it exists now it is a threat to others, so for many eliminating it'd be a guranantee of their own safety first and foremost. That's in their own interest, even if they'd want to put a 3m concrete wall around that cursed place after that.
Being a russian myself* I find it's heartwarming to see others empathising with my folks on some basic human level and that's alright, it's healthy, but it misleads them from wanting to stop this state from butchering another country. Let's see it as a monolithical structure instead because it acts as a one. For if russians can't have a saying and aren't even informed, that's only their state to be worth of targeting.
Deciding on who threw their sieg hail and who didn't can wait until this war finally ends.
* As a proof, a phrase in c2 Russian: Я смотрел как её распидорашенное в мясо лицо собиралось по деталям роботом-хирургом. Он щедро лил биоклейстер на стыках тканей стараясь собрать эту головоломку, и работал тонко. Только я знал, что как бы тонко он ни работал с её ошмётками, оставшимися после выстрела, она непременно разобьёт первое зеркало в котором себя увидит. В нём она уже не увидит себя.
Well written. Spasiba.
