  • Why non-Western countries tend to see Russia's war very differently

    Jump

  • Russia also claimed that Ukraine didn't sink the Moskva, yet they still pulled their ships away from the coastline.

    At the beginning Russia claimed they were just holding exercises, now it's a "special military operation".

    Russia claims it wasn't targeting civilians, but we have thousands of pictures and a couple intercepted phone calls that say otherwise.

  • They posted a false assertion that was never said then argued against it. My response was appropriate for someone trying to seed disinformation

    Read the article again Igor.

  • What do you think about recent events on c/worldnews? Should we try to prevent such behaviors?

  • On the other hand, in general (by which I mean that I haven’t seen this crop up in Lemmy but I wouldn’t like to see) I’d hate to see anti-vax, flat-earth, or otherwise blatant fake science showing up.

    You should bet on that happening. I created /c/conspiracy because Reddit's /r/conspiracy is effectively /r/The_Donald. These people do not care about your facts, at all whatsoever. If anything they'll want their "facts" to be the only facts you ever encounter. Go there (/r/conspiracy) and look around if you do not believe me. A different approach needs to be taken. I was there when Voat was first created, before it turned to shit. Something creative needs to happen here, or IMO this place will turn to shit too.

    RUSSIAN ACTIVE MEASURES CAMPAIGNS AND INTERFERENCE IN THE 2016 U.S. ELECTION

    VOLUME 2: RUSSIA'S USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA:

    Analysis of the behavior of the IRA-associated social media accounts makes dear that while the Russian information warfare campaign exploited the context of the election and election-related issues in 2016, the preponderance of the operational focus, as reflected repeatedly in content, account names, and audiences targeted, was on sociapy divisive issues-such as race, immigration, and Second Amendment rights-in an attempt to pit Americans against one another and against their government. The Committee found that IRA influence operatives consistently used hot-button, societal divisions in the United States as fodder for the content they published through social media in order to stoke anger, provoke outrage and protest, push Americans further away from one another, and foment distrust in government institutions. The divisive 2016 U.S. presidential election was just an additional feature of a much more expansive,, target-rich landscape of potential ideological and societal sensitivities.

    A much easier approch would be to let downvotes and upvotes decide the fate of each post.

    That's one of the worst ideas I can think of right now. If anything upvotes/downvotes should be disabled for a temporarily amount of time.
