Read the message. Didn’t listen to it. Your gripes are out of scope. Take this to another community specifically there to discuss your issues. Might I suggest [email protected]

Also, (edit: AFAIK) that post was not deleted by a mod or admin. It was edited to say Permanently Deleted and deleted by the user.

This is off topic. The purpose of this community is not to talk smack about other instances/communities/moderators, but to discuss Ukraine and relevant news.

My understanding is that the .ml is for “marxist-leninist” which may or may not help explain things for you. Regardless of whether this is correct, or does answer the question, this is post is getting locked and should be asked elsewhere.

@[email protected] What is NSFW?

I call BS. Calling for war crimes violates R1 and gets dealt with. If you see it report it.

the proposed “flag the whole Ukraine community NSFW” approach has.

To be clear, I was not proposing keeping this community flagged NSFW permanently. That was a quick, naive solution I temporarily implemented not realizing how much of an effect it would have. I’m really asking ‘what content should be required to have a NSFW flag?’, and unless you have additional concerns we’ve settled on flagging combat videos that show the people involved (see pinned post / sidebar).

Sometimes stuff gets through for longer than it should /shrug

The rule is right there on the side bar and has been for as long as I remember.

@[email protected] this will probably affect you most. Thoughts?

All combat footage should probably be flagged nsfw,

I think that is too aggressive. There is all kinds of footage that is clearly safe (eg: drone on drone).

I’m thinking a rule requiring NSFW for combat footage where bodies (living or otherwise) are visible.

I’m being objective. It is an assumption either way as there is no concrete evidence visible in the video. Do you think every drone cam that cuts to static should be flagged as NSFW?

What they ‘think’ was the last moments. The follow-up drone shows no body, or even blood, so it is likely they got away.

The community is fine. I was getting complaints that (what I thought was benign) drone footage was NSFW and autoplaying in /All.

I’m going to discuss with other mods about setting a NSFW guideline and where we should draw the line because I think the NSFW community flag is too penalizing.

I changed the community to NSFW because people were complaining that drone footage cutting to static was NSFW and displaying in ‘All’.

Edit: To be clear I do not think this is NSFW and would gladly revert to not-NSFW if admins and community don’t care about the inevitable complaints.

While it has been public since late '22 that special forces from a few NATO countries are in Ukraine for advisory and training purposes, I am not aware of any credible evidence for them participating in front line fighting (unofficial/volunteers don’t count).

FTR it is an obvious typo: the correct year is 1895

Server rules also apply. R6 is illegal content.

I need to review content to ensure it meets community guidelines. I am not wasting 2min of my life sitting through ads every time someone links to a podcast. Post the written article if available, or a version that doesn’t have ads embedded at the beginning/are unblockable. Thank you for your understanding.

No, you’re misunderstanding. ‘Casualties’ means ‘One who is injured, killed, captured, or missing in action through engagement with an enemy’.

You’re using the word to mean ‘dead’ and that is incorrect.

Additionally, it is extremely difficult for a side to accurately determine opfor dead vs. wounded. IIRC 3 wounded : 1 dead is a reasonable approximation.
