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
Everyone is well aware of the Azov brigade. They are at most, 2200 soldiers, and do not represent Ukraine on the whole.
74% of Ukrainians view the leader of the WW2 Ukrainian fascists (the OUN) Stepan Bandera favourably. And 81% view the OUN positively.
Source: One of the largest Ukrainian polling institutes
The OUN carried out pogroms, mass executions of jews and were regarded by even the nazi SS as disgustingly brutal.

There are many pictures of non-Azov combatants with Nazi symbols.
But at least you acknowledge Azov are nazis, that's a step up from the rest.
It's weird how they're on every front of ukraine, in front of the cameras everywhere, and also in western ukraine simultaneously. Amazing how so few people can be everywhere at once and always in front of the cameras instead of literally anyone that isn't a nazi.
Who did they invade?
LOL, I mean you have Stalin in your profile picture.
The following countries were invaded by Nazis:
Okay, which ones of them were members of the Azov Battallion? Because this is about them.
Pretty sure they aren't, or Azov would be the ones doing the invading. You seem to not care that a sovereign country was invaded by a larger force.
You're discussing with someone that is part of the botnet mentioned in the article. Just look at their history. Just report as off-topic and move on. No point talking to propaganda mouthpiece.
Dude is a fucking moron. The more we all report his comments and block him, the better Lemmy will be.
Do you think Russia's invasion of Ukraine was justified because of Azov? Does that justify all the civilians being killed? Are they all complicit? Is the only way to solve the problem annexing the country to Russia? Is the fact that Russia also has Neo Nazis in their ranks not relevant?
Well you sure do seem to be implying that Russia's invasion is justified because of Azov and you aren't clarifying, so what else am I to think but you want Ukraine annexed?
What crime have they committed? Just being a Nazi isn't an international crime.
EDIT: I have blocked this user for insults on another post. I will not put up with insults. This is not Reddit.
You forgot to include your mind because it's obviously completely captured by Russian nazi propaganda.
I don't support Putin's fascist government.
I don't support Zelensky nazi government either though.
argumentum ad temperantiam of course
Give me 1 article showing Zelensky was making progress on a nazi purge before the war.
Oh? Already gave up on your previous insinuations? Geez.
You think swearing in another language will save you from a ban?
EDIT: Thanks moderation for the excellent work curbing the folks incapable of civil discussion.
Do not thank me, please review this https://www.factcheck.org/2022/03/the-facts-on-de-nazifying-ukraine/ the picture you provided was disingenuous.
F'ghoxx il-mejtin li ghandek, ja gallun liba kommunist. Erga iftah halqek u niftahlek libell.
Maybe it wasn't a big problem? Every country has Nazis, and ironically Moscovies are known from having the largest percentage.
Azov is clearing their dark past. It's not fully Nazi anymore. Ukraine needs to clear remaining Nazi symbols within the government to improve the international image. The real enemy of Russians is the Kremlin, not Ukraine.
