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.
-
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.

Excellent OpSec, those Russians have!
Uh mate, you might be forgetting this doozy of an embarrassment from a few years back:

Wait until you hear that Budanov liked his Strava post.
Uh, on strava it’s called “giving kudos”.
🔫 “kudos”
Yes. I am a user of Strava. But many aren't, so rather than get bogged down in an explanation of the semantics, I wrote what I wrote.
Since functionally it is identical and any difference irrelevant.
Don't forget the US military revealed the existence of a secret military base the same way....
OpSec is westoid propaganda.
"Operational security (OPSEC) is a security and risk management process that prevents sensitive information from getting into the wrong hands."
How can a generic concept be propaganda?
It's a joke lmfao
Sorry, just seen way to many trolls and astrosuffers. Never know when things are a joke or deliberate attempt at polarization or rage baiting ^^ Think it's good to be more serious on a community surrounding world news, so I was.
We're approaching noncredible levels previously thought to be impossible.
Did someone just say noncrrredible? You better bring some jet fighter pinup waifus if you use such words.
Ace Combat is a coomer game. You can't change my mind.
Abstract ideas are westoid propaganda. The Party will provide all you need.
Sorry folks, this joke must have been on an airplane or something.
This isn't specific to Russia. There was a story when Strava was first getting big about off map and secure military installations in the US being visible from the guard patrol routes.
