Then advertise and market lemmy. Not by literally going on the street with cart boards “use lemmy Plox”, like even sending a link from Lemmy makes Someone question “why everybody is into Lemmy lately? What is it?

That’s how I found out about Reddit anyways. Don’t underestimate word of mouth.

I'm thinking it could even be "partizans". It could be anybody really.

As Carl Sagan once said "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" (ECREE).

So truth is, at the end of the day we do not who 100% committed this.

But I'm honestly happy Moscovians, the "privilleged", get a taste of their own medicine and propaganda in their mouth. I'm not happy that people getting killed, I'm happy that people who support war, finally taste their own medicine.

War is ugly, war is hell, and if you start it, and you agree with it, better get a taste of it.

I dont care this prorogative Moscovians and Russians have that "we're scared of your government jailing us", it's better than thousands of Ukrainians losing their land, getting raped, committing crimes against them and against the world, killing innocent Ukrainians and innocent citizens, babies and children. Your government is literally just a couple of people. 100 of them? 1000 of them? You're millions. Get a brain.

If you dont have the courage to protest against your own country committing attrocities with your own men, then you better get a taste of your own medicine and I dont give a single fuck about it. I'm honestly happy they finally get to taste just a tiny tiny bit war's flavor.

edit:

And if it's partizans, good for them. They understand the way.

Threads is not a direct threat to Lemmy and never will be. Neither Fedverse. The whole point is that it’s like in the old days, decentralized. You don’t like one server? You go to another. Or you make your own. And big communities will always exist that will want to fuck with whoever opposes basic standards. Just like what happened with Spez/Reddit

«Мамочкааааааа»

Да?

Сейчас Розумієш што ета Война??

Now do you understand suddenly what war is? What democracy is? When to invade other peoples countries?

I dont know what you say, I transitioned to Lemmy 100% and deleted my acc at reddit.

The only super annoying thing is that they get to keep the cake whole and the dog full (my comments by deleting my name and my acc deleted). Which I despite them for that even more now and just make me avoid the platform even more and dis-advertise it.

I would be fully happy if I had my account, changed my comments first to "fuck /u/spez" and then had deleted my account, but I only knew so much. I was naive enough to think they would delete my comments too, since they're My Intellectual Property. Right? They came from my own mind, I took the time to write them, and I deleted them! But no! We will keep them, just delete your name.

And when you google my reddit username, you still get from the google's cache directed to threads with my deleted comments. Fuck you spez. Fuck you.

Time will tell if reddit won. It's not a short-term fight. I deleted my discord a Chinese Tencent's vessel and a product that makes no money but burns money for the sake of gathering data. My Instagram, my Meta account thus my FB too, my WhatsApp, every app that was there just to gather my data or exploit me now or in the future.

I do everything to keep off being fingerprinted. I use platforms that use more and more end-to-end encryption like Matrix. Or at worst Telegram which is not end to end but the best of the worst since my relatives still use it.

Just because you don't see it yet, doesn't mean that a movement against anti-consumer platforms like reddit don't exist. I inform my mom about it, I inform my relatives and friends about it. I move friends and friends move me to safer for the future to use platforms and de-centralized.

A battle may be short, but the war is long.

Ouch! This looks painful. But Eh ... I dont care what they say, they decided to go there and die there, instead of pissing on their commander, dying for democracy instead and going anywhere else but in Ukraine to kill Ukrainians.

Yep. Especially after the training it’s like “yeah man I did it”.

Also, it’s all about consistency. Perfectionism is the enemy of consistency. Don’t be a perfectionist. Just be consistent and soon you’ll see results.

Like I see some people who just started working out and do as many push-ups or any other excercise with as many reps as they possibly can and after they’re exhausted.

That’s wrong. These people think that if you don’t do 100 pushups first day you’re a failure.

No, do even one push up. It’s more that 0. Then do 2, then 5, then 10, then 5 again coz you don’t feel like it today.

Like don’t starve for perfectionism. Just be consistent and you’ll actually get to enjoy working out. It’s a great way to clear your mind, have a healthy body, build muscles, better body chemistry and less diseases etc. Be consistent, not perfect. And avoid guys who make you feel you’re not doing enough. These guys will make you feel like every exercise should be perfect or with the highest reps possible or smth.

Conscripted = Defend your country. Not attack another country. Russia just pretends they're "defending motherland" so they find an excuse to """"conscript (untrained) Russians"""" to go to war and they advertise "it's good money" literally everywhere. There are posters everywhere about it and so much propaganda and pro-war ads.

In any case, there is ALWAYS a choice. Even killing your own commander, or protesting against your government is a choice. So many Russians have literally abandoned their positions because they do not believe in this war. That was a choice. You always have a choice. Especially them, so many of them. Yes, difficult ones, but let's not pretend that they "do not have a choice". They do, they always did.

You always have a choice, than go to a war where you win nothing but kill innocent Ukrainians, committing war crimes and invading other country "to defend yours" which is their propaganda prorogative.

edit:

You know who "doesn't have a choice"? Ukrainians. They are there to defend their land. And the funny thing is, they do have a choice. They could just say "fuck it I won't do it". But they still stand. Even they, have a choice. And they chose to defend their land.

So let's not pretent that Russians, got conscripted thus they didn't have a choice. Everybody has a choice, and they have to live with it and die with it.

South Korea is closely looking at your thread probably trying to figure out if there’s another way 🥲

Oh yeah. Wait we had a Lemmy place here?? Bruh, I didn’t even know about it sorry.

To be honest, if I was Putin, I would have killed myself at that point. He has no reason to exist for the future. Just pure suffering and humiliation.

But somehow ofc he will turn this into a "it's NATO's fault" or another narrative to turn the hate elsewhere for average ZRussian copium

Yep, let them enjoy their own medicine. If they want war, let them taste war.

They already encouraged it by letting Putin and his pawns motivate propaganda, pro-war posters and pro-war ads everywhere and their own useful men dying. The prorogative about "but but I would get jailed", yes, and the other alternative is to let your husband die at war and kill innocent ukrainians ya? Sure, enjoy the flavor of your own medicine. And this was just a tiny bit.

War is hell. Please, let's support Ukraine after the war. It's a literal warcrime, not one but many, what Russia as a nation has done to Ukraine just over some land that it doesn't own. From stealing children, to fake elections and votes, to literally killing civilians in random areas.

I dont know if I can promise, I dont like promises, I like actions. But I would like to think of myself making actions in Ukraine that would help people there to rebuild their cities, their civilization again and get away from fucking Russian state.

I dont hate Russians. I dont have hatred towards people. I have hate towards state of minds. Hate towards propaganda. I'm sure people fighting in the war right now who already have PTSD and are without limps most of them probably didn't wanted to be part of this if they really knew what they were doing. Everybody likes to think they're on the good side.

Basically commander or whatever rank he is complaining about these two drunk soldiers and bringing alcoholics at war and that they’re already dead in his eyes and whoever wants to hurt his family he will kill them (for saying the truth probably).

Very well said. Title is not enough to say what the whole article says to your heart.

While the west's best suffer is money, Ukraine biggest price to join NATO and democracy again is Ukrainian lives, wounded citizens, destroyed cities. Who has paid bigger price than Ukraine has.

It is insulting to say "We are not amazon". There are more classy ways if you want to reject something because maybe your budget has reached is peak. But this response to Zelensky was really not classy. And the response was just on point.

Good for her. How can you shake hands with somebody who's actively contesting on behalf of a country that is murdering your own people, committing war crimes, threatens the whole world with nuclear threats and puts bombs on your country's nuclear plant and plays with world hunger.

I understand the rules might be "respect your opponent", but that opponent should contest under a white or neutral flag. Not under a flag of a country that commits atrocities.

So, I would suggest the contesters and the people who make the rules to also take that under consideration. It's an insult to the rest of the world to contest under a flag like that.

These conscripts if they try to surrender, can and have been executed by professional soldiers on the back line. Also they risk getting killed anyway trying to surrender to Ukrainian troops. It’s not as simple as you make it seem.

"These conscripts get killed if they try to surrender" what a stupid excuse.

So lets go commit war crimes. Yes? Kill innocent people, rape people, throw missiles on innocent people. Yes? That's the way!

Chill, you’re not the only one here.

VoIP in a mainstream messenger is something that most people use nowadays to avoid calling people from their SIM cards which costs them much.

Video calling too is something I personally use too especially on iMessage or Telegram.

I’m a software engineer, I appreciate some old school things that work perfectly well like ICQ or Vim or emacs or working only with shortcuts. But you know what’s also a shortcut? Not having to use 50 different messengers just because this one doesn’t have VoIP and I can’t bring my friends or my mom here but I can bring only my nerd friends”.

This is all business and target audience oriented. You are not the only target audience out there and especially when you don’t demand from a messenger to be able to have VoIP. Even Instagram has VoIP these days. A photo-video-media sharing app. Let alone a messenger.

ATACMS stands for Army Tactical Missile System. It is a surface-to-surface missile system designed and manufactured by Lockheed Martin for the United States Army. This system is designed to be extremely mobile and can be fired from the Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) family of launchers, including the M270, M270A1, and the M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS).

The ATACMS is a short-range ballistic missile with a range of about 165 km for early versions, and more than 300 km for later models. It carries a large payload, up to 500 lb, which can include unitary warheads or submunitions depending on the specific model of the missile. The missile is designed for precision strikes against a variety of target types, including enemy artillery, air defenses, and concentrations of troops or armored vehicles.

As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, the ATACMS was set to be replaced by the Precision Strike Missile (PrSM), a next-generation surface-to-surface weapon system being developed for the U.S. Army.

Yeah, he's pro-war, not pro-putin. He wants to win the war. And Putin is literally doing everything but that.

Even if they won't deliver, the fact alone that Qatar, a country known for it's own controversies, is against Russia .... says a lot. The pure advertisement alone that they support a state that is under a war conflict not by choice, but because they're attacked, shows that maybe ... you're the villain.

Russians can drink as much copium they want. But now its no longer """""just the west and NATO"""""

That now the government literally own's the bank's money and every single asset and liability of theirs. Simple as that.

Shadow units are really accurate. Haven't you seen the whole at the bridge? They are so accurate they can point exactly at the middle of the road if they want to and it will hit precisely that.

Comparing it to last year, that seems to be a lot of white space. Damn.

But not all these soldiers are war criminals

They literally are war criminals. They're participating in an invasion for no cause other than boosting Putin's ego.

And I've seen the propaganda advertisments in Russia "Go to war, support your country" and "Go to war, gives good money, support your family" and such.

Invading another country without cause makes you literally a war criminal. It is really ... that simple. Russia is literally a terrorist state at that moment. They've killed hundreds of civilians, thousands of Ukrainian fighters as well. Putting mines all over the place. Crippling and injuring so many other fighters and civilians as well. Sent terrorist groups.

If you're participating in such war, you are a war criminal. You can kill yourself. you can abandon your unit. You can bribe your commanders. You can run away before all this even starts. But by the moment you're invading another country and you're killing innocent people who have done NOTHING to you, you're a war criminal. It is really ... that simple. Coz it's "either I save myself or I kill these innocent people". That's a war criminal mindset coz it makes it seem as if you're a good guy in your mind. When you're not.

Thanks bro. Im really happy you're here to say that they're debunked if they truly are. Obviously I'm not aware of such thing, could you provide some citation? In good faith always! I'll upvote your comment obviously after seeing the debunking is from a trustable source and is really a debunking, just wondering. Nonetheless, thanks. Let's debunk misinformation.

War is hell. But remember, all these people were sent to kill innocent people. I dont care about "why". The ends doesnt justify the means.

They were sent to kill innocent people. You can kill yourself and save a ton of innocent lives by not placing mines all over the place. Kids even.

You can bribe your commander.

You can run before all this happens. By the time you suspect they're going to call you even. Tons of Russians have already done that.

You can revolute against your own government. Yes, going to prison, is FUCKING BETTER than killing innocent lives and children or supporting a war where people have been raping women.

Like jesus. The copium of trying to support these soldiers that were sent to kill other innocent people who have done NOTHING to them, is amazingly high.

Guys and girls. these people are there to kill people, kids, civilians. Not play on the playground. War is hell. And if you're on the wrong side of war, you deserve no mercy until you're immobilized. Maybe treatment, maybe being human to them. But once you're active and ready to kill and support this war, you can fuck off back to Russia or the other world.

They kinda did the same with Nazis, and Nazis were worse, and much much more successful. Now is the time that you hate them?

Официальная информация Воздушных Сил ВСУ по ночной атаке на Одессу: ПВО удалось сбить 9 ракет из 19

Official information of the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the night attack on Odessa: the air defense managed to shoot down 9 missiles out of 19

Reddit is the reason I learned about lemmy. But the rest seems really informational

Second this. After the Reddit fiasco, I also deleted my Meta account and everything having to do with it. I want absolutely nothing to do with them or listen if they died as a platform or not.

I will never blame NATO for not joining its troops into the war as that would cause original WW3 and escalate I don't know how much, as NATO is a defensive force not an offensive one and the world expects it to behave as such, including countries like China.

But representatives of NATO being ungrateful against Ukraine and responding in insulting ways is just so un-classy and insulting. Like ... show some respect.

I rofled. hahahah

But I gotta admit, a lot of random scrolling on a friday night I fall on a lot UA related posts on 9gag. https://streamable.com/ told me it keeps the video for 2 days? and I was not sure if I should post the 9gag link which stays forever and have people goad me about it (idc i take it as a joke) or a streamable one. lmao.

Probably that season wasn't that good for him anyways.

Nop nop nop! If I ever make a single API in Rist ever again I’m gonna go to the last apartment’s floor, break the door for the roof, get a power cable from one of the solar panels installed there, tie it up to the door handle and then run and jump so I have a less painful death than writing a Rust “microservice”.

Rust is beautiful language. In its own weird way. But not for multithreading async communication. Let’s not start talking about tokio and async-std and their controversies and the language hasn’t figured out yet a standard way to do async. And definitely not for connecting to databases or other standard things you do very easily in Go or NodeJS, especially in Go where you have Goroutines and really easy to read and write maintainable code. Last time I wanted to connect to a database in Rust for a microservice I was doing 100 times more leaning the “ecosystem” of Postgres in rust or MongoDB, and I still didn’t manage to do it and so I thought wait a minute, every single time I’ll have to figure or someone else these shits out? Fuck it, back to Go.

I’ll do other things in Rust. Like pure system programming. Just …….. not web services.

At least he died instantly.

These people are in a warzone. Warzone = war (yeah I know thanks for the obvious)

If you're in the warzone, and you are a Russian, with an actual army suit, you're invading a country = you're there to kill other people.

Now do you prefer seeing this one die or innocent Ukrainians who got invaded by Russia die?

You're confusing morals with war. In war, there are morals, but it's more of a grey area dude. You can't be an absolutist.

How can we make the rest of the world hate us even more?

I dont think this is a wise way to think.

You can say the same thing about HAMAS and Israelis? Like would you support if Israeli started now raping women, not bombing after saying to evacuate Gaza, but literally killing them with guns on the point, children, defendless people, innocent ones who had done nothing, torture them. Would you still support Israelis if they were starting to do that?

Morality is not a reverse competition, like lol. It's not about "Oh, you used a Nuclear bomb? I use a nuclear bomb, we all use a nuclear bomb". Morality is about stopping this whole sht. Israelis are trying to neutralize HAMAS and their supporters, and obviously HAMAS told their supporters to stay at homes at Gaza and Gaza is the one that voted or supported HAMAS for more than a decade. So, their supporters are now at Gaza whether they want or not Im sorry but they'll die, because they simply seem to support Raping women, killing innocent children, attacking from nowhere a country, undressing a woman and placing her on a tree and cheering. Like these are attrocities who none should commit. It's NOT a fucking competition. And unfortunately, as war is hell and always chaotic, unfortunately innocent people who never supported such things are the minority and some may die too. Unfortunately. But the majority of Gaza is the one that supported the HAMAS being their "government". Nobody seemed to complain, like we would do at Europe for Macron, Trump, or any president that did something bad.

If you support such atrocities, Im sorry but I dont think you belong to a peaceful humanity. You should either be placed in jail, or in a war ... die so we don't have people that support such atrocities anymore.

Same with Ukraine and Russian war. Just because Phorphorus was used on the one side, does not mean that you've got the moral high ground of using phosphorus too. It is not ... a competition. End of story.

It's about neutralizing the target that used Phorphorus in the first place, not about using it against them. It's about neutralizing the target that raped your families, your women, killed your children, supports an organization that does commit such attrocities. Not about doing the same to them.

Peace by neutralizing a target is the end goal, not catastrophy of both countries and competing at who will commit more war crimes.
