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!
-
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.

He is but Putin is saying this now to sow divide. Fuck Elon take Starlink and his wealth from him, but he is overall helping Ukraine. What he did was an egotistical shitty bitch move and Putin is trying to use it as a weapon.
Just pointing it out, that's how Putin operates
How did Elon help Ukraine? Just asking bc never heard of one instance
He supplied them with Starlink, the same means he fucked them up with has provided them aid.
Supplied them? That's a funny way of saying was paid for his services and then declined to provide said service randomly.
(I'll preface this by saying, I hate musk and he's definitely a Russia bitch boy)
Except he didn't randomly stop the service. He had never activated service in the area they wanted in the first place. This user gave a better write up than I could

Oh that makes it so much better /s.
Whether he never turned it on, turned it off, or never made it available to begin with, my feelings don't change. He personally made the call that led to Ukrainian deaths while pretending to be a saint by his own admission. He'd have blood on his hands either way but at least that blood would have been soldiers who invaded a neighboring country not peaceful civs under attack by the very thing they were trying to destroy. So his reasoning doesn't add up in my mind.
why are you acting like any of us are defending him lol
we're just starting truths and you're like angry at us. Chill out
Lol I never once acted like you defended him, I simply said this new info doesn't change my assessment of the situation.
That comment is odd. States all news articles are covering it weird and posits it is directed misinformation.
Proceeds to link four or five news articles correctly describing it.
Exactly the CURRENT issue. Before this point he was providing aid.
Don't try to do that
