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.

It seems much more probable that russians just don't want to be drafted. Of course Russia blames Ukraine, but it's a pretty far out story to be pass even as fake news.
Anyway, even if it's true, it doesn't exactly put Russians in a good light, if they're so incredibly dumb that they can be scammed into setting fire to military offices.
It's a Russia-problem either way, and their reaction is to wave their arms around.
That's what I was thinking too ...
N russians have their dumb people like any other culture.
But ye; to me it would make more sense that some antiwar russians mighta done it; just because what else can they really do to fight this regime?
They tried protesting, they tried fleeing ETC. + they're not wanted anywhere even if they did succeed in their escape...
Sooo idk...
One thing I bet on ; is after the war ( if there is an after ) the world should help reform / rebuild russia n bring in democracy or else russia will ALWAYS go back to it's inhumane/corrupt/brutal/shitty ways ...
This is a country that NEVER had a democracy so it needs intervention 1000% ASAP... Plus I wouldn't mind if russia in 'turn gave up some of its land/territory/labor/resources to form new countries for refugees, natives, Gypsies, Minorities ETC ...
{Goes without saying after the war Russia should absolutely pay reparations to Ukraine and EU too}
