Ukraine

Rules:

  1. No sympathy with the enemy or its collaborators. Russian and North Korean soldiers are fascists committing a genocide. Remember that.

  2. Objective and factual reporting from the battlefield, parliaments, etc. is encouraged, even if it's about bad news for Ukraine.

  3. Insulting Putin and his cronies (Orban, Trump, Musk,...) is absolutely fine but don't use homophobic or similar language against them. Members of the queer community don't deserve to be compared to that scum. Also: Putin disciminates against gay people. If you do as well, you're part of the problem.

  4. Don't insult or use overly harsh language against other commentators.

  5. Don't submit direct links to Twitter/X and Truth Social posts. You may: Post a screenshot + quote, do a full quote and name the author, direct link to a proxy service like xcancel.com, deep link an image embedded in a tweet because Lemmy will cache a copy.

  6. Don't just complain about paywalls. If you encounter one, be a sport and link to an archived version instead. Use Firefox + Cookie AutoDelete + uBlock Origin with the annoyances filters enabled and https://filterlists.com/lists/bypass-paywalls-clean-filter to avoid encountering many in the first place.

While the sentiment of the headline is true, Daily Mail is a terrible source. Per Wikipedia:

The Daily Mail has been criticised for its unreliability, its printing of sensationalist and inaccurate scare stories about science and medical research,[17][18][19][20] and for instances of plagiarism and copyright infringement.[21][22][23][24] In February 2017, the English Wikipedia banned the use of the Daily Mail as a reliable source.[25][26][27]

I just can't trust any of the details there, even if I want to.

This is a problem with much of UK media. The Telegraph has top tier Ukraine war reporting but I see pro Brexit crap in the sidebar every now and then.

I posted the article because on its own it seemed fine to post, especially because it embeds a good amount of photos from social media. I don't have time to sift through endless social media feeds to find the original sources of the videos embedded in the article and when I happen to stumble upon an article I like, I also don't have time to do a background check of what the outlets publishes as well. I use ad blockers to block entire Recommended side bars and such which is why I often don't see whatever else websites write. I try to remember your heads up about the Daily Mail but there is a decent chance it'll escape me in a few weeks when I stumble upon the next Ukraine article by them.
