A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

As native Moscovite, I can confirm that I've already scalped 3 Wagnerites and one very confused German composer.

Isn't he already decomposing though?

[–] abrasiveteapot 42 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Not terribly credible. The reddit thread I first saw it on had a translated MoD announcement that only said Wagner were treasonous (but not shoot on sight) and some people arguing that the Russian version looked fake.

Definitely grain of salt for now.

So what you’re saying is, it’s non-credible? 😂

This won't load for me. Not sure the link works.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Weird. Seems videos from other domains don't work, even other fediverse domains. Anyway, switched it to a gif link so it works.

We’re debugging on main here

I'm making a Lemmy app, and I'm pretty good at convincing media to work even when it's reluctant (and as I'm making the app I want to use, everything should eventually be able to auto play)

Could you break down the specifics for me? Preferably with links and any other details/thoughts you have on hand

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

So, I was looking at it in Firefox. Whenever I linked to a video that was on a different domain than the one I was viewing the post from, the video wouldn't load. So if I linked to a video hosted by Lemmy.world it would load when viewing the post from lemmy.world but not lemmy.ml. If I linked to a video hosted by Tenor Gifs, it wouldn't load on any of them.

Ya, weird. I do see it now. Cheers. Thanks for the question. Interesting post.

As a Russian, currently living in Moscow, can say this is bullshit. MD force other military volunteers squads to sign contract. Only Wagner Group declined.

Fuck war.

Remember, no Russian. Or Remember, all Russian.

Верно говоришь, товарищ.

How strong is Wagner compared to Russian military? Are we talking ~1/10 of the strength, 1/100, 1/1000?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I don't think its helpful to draw a distinction between the two. Wagner is part of Russia's military.

The only tactic these guys know is escalation in the hope that someone backs down. Prigozhin as a gangster knows the value of intimidation and not backing down, but Shoigu is just hoping his credentials do the scaring for him because he has no fucking street cred, he's just some Ural paperpusher. I think he's terrified of prigozhin

[–] JohnDClay 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No wonder Russia has been human waving Wagner, trying to thin the ranks (No clue if this is credible, but if it isn't, it just fits here better)

I've been asleep for two weeks, just woke up.

Totally not credible, get a fucking clue.

Thanks for the clarification 🤠
