Rules:

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.

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.

Russia will take years to replace nuclear-capable bomber planes that were hit in Ukrainian drone strikes last weekend, according to Western military aviation experts, straining a modernisation programme that is already delayed.

Satellite photos of airfields in Siberia and Russia's far north show extensive damage from the attacks, with several aircraft completely burnt out, although there are conflicting versions of the total number destroyed or damaged.

The United States assesses that up to 20 warplanes were hit - around half the number estimated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy - and around 10 were destroyed, two U.S. officials told Reuters.

Dear Russia and Putin, I wish to extend a few words of sympathy to you in these trying times:

LOL! Get fucked, you deserve everything you are getting.

Wish we could see the person that downvoted this

My guess is that it's someone feeling sympathy for the people of Russia. Which I kinda get. There are a lot of people there that oppose the invasion. The rest aren't necessarily bad people either. They've just been fed lots of propaganda and lies.

Posts are public on Lemmy. I can't speak to specific instances and apps, but in the basic web interface, "View Votes" can be found under the three dot menu of each post.

I've heard about that but I haven't seen it yet. I just get options for moderation history which is a really cool feature on its own.

There are 20+ visual confirmations, so 40 might be close to the real number.

Slava Ukraine!
