One of the only true ‘responsibilities’ of Lemmy users is to conduct themselves in a manner that encourages user participation. This is not that and you are getting close to harrassement territory.

Drop it, and complain to the Lemmy/Mastodon devs.

OH NO! 💥

Mods are not Gods. We do not have universal knowledge. If someone is spouting garbage, point why, preferably back it up with evidence, and above all do so respectfully.

Far as I can tell they were arguing that the pipe sabotage was pointless as the pipes were mostly unused, and that it harms relations with a friendly and prominent nation and consequently jeopardizes NATO/EU membership. Sounds like a cogent argument that I personally don’t like but am not going to censor unless they are rude.

Next time: show that the pipes were in use (they obviously were), that the perpetrators have not been shown to be sanctioned by the UA government as of yet, and that despite the damage Germany has been a faithful supporter even beyond discovery of who the agents were believed to be. Just do so without using direct insults. Not difficult or unreasonable.

The message wasn’t the issue. It was how it was said. Share your opinions freely so long as they aren’t pro-invader and are respectful.

Achtung! Seien Sie zivil.

🙄 Have a nice day.

Reuters vs Aljazeera… I wonder which is the more believable news source, particularly with regards to Israel events.

edit: Without getting into the weeds Liberalism and Left/Right are usually considered separate spectrums and the definition varies wildly depending on where you’re from.

Please read more carefully. I did not say “is now…” and the civilian casualty count is nowhere near 200k but rather closer to 40k.

Edit: But I also agree they are liberal too.

In the future, it’s better to link to the original news article rather than a derivative citing it. Particularly when the derivative also needs translation.

The lemmy.world news mods are absolutely biased, break their own rules blatantly, and clearly support a left/far-left agenda.

That said, it’s pretty unnecessary to hide genocide when the ICJ hasn’t ruled one occurred yet.

The fate that awaits them after immersing fresh wounds in river water should be a deterrent for any of their comrades that come in contact with them in the next couple days.

Had he stated anything about what the SOF in Ukraine were doing I would agree with you. I believe the consensus is they are there training Ukraine troops.

It’s technically not disinformation. Just a flawed conclusion. Politely pointing out alternative, more accurate, ways to look at it is the recommended method.

They aren’t ‘hostages’. They are prisoners of war.

Edit: They are required by international law to take POWs if they surrender properly, so yes they take POWs

…

Before it was American and European trainers doing the training in European countries. Now it’s the trainees becoming the trainers.

Won’t need to imagine it. It will be real one day soon enough. Ukraine has the will and support for it.

Oh, it is not the only indication. Russian tank and artillery stores nearing exhaustion, being so desperate as to slap ERA on a hitch Mount artillery piece, billions in confiscated Russian assets being sent to reimburse Ukraine, appealing to NKorea for military aid, their patsy no longer being a shoe-in for US president, etc… I honestly feel there’s a light at the end of the tunnel atm.

TIL David Smith (the article author) is completely out of ideas and has decided to phone it in until the weekend.

Yup.
