A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

The lack of western media reporting on the state of Ukraine leads me to believe they will make concessions to end the war soon.
Part of how propaganda works is not reporting on things that make 'your side' look bad. In other words, "no news is bad news."
I see Ukraine military updates multiple times a week. Maybe its your algorithm that isnt showing it to you. Its bad but stable things arent collapsing on the front line. Ukraine's issues are manpower shortages and being outnumbered by an enemy that is happy to leverage the advantage and throw waves of people onto the objectives.
What lack of western media reporting? I can still almost daily get information on Ukraine from mainstream media.
This is literally commenting on an article published by western media.
Yeah, newsweek.
Where's CNN, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, NYT, WaPo? Radio silence because there's nothing good to say, or we get some kind of opinion piece trying to paint Ukraine's losses as wins and Zelensky as some hero.
The copium among you people is palpable. You're incapable of recognizing when you've been taken for a ride or believed something that isn't true.
Propaganda works both ways. If you have trouble accepting this, then it's probably because you've fallen for it without realizing it and can't admit it.
???
But all of this I can hardly describe as radio silence. Besides, it's only US media. I can assure you that there's plenty of articles in European media too.
Lol funny how @humanoidchaos@lemmy.cif.su suddenly has nothing to add but a downvote...
Tired of arguing with you people.
That doesn't mean he's correct or has a point, which he doesn't.
But hey man, you do you. Let people waste your time.
He's 100% correct, and his point was to demonstrate that you were wrong. Which you were.
Hope that helps!
Did you... actually go check those outlets before you posted this?
