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! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
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.

Tarkovski was able to make movies with overtly religious themes in the Soviet Union, because it was 'just science fiction'.
Andor is a tv show about more than just funny space aliens. So is Star Wars obviously, but Andor is properly good tv.
Thankfully people thinking it's 'just a Disney show' or 'it's just scifi' is how stuff like this slips under the radar. See also: trans metaphor The Matrix, Starship Troopers equating right-wing American militarism with Nazi Germany, and V for Vendetta's ambiguity on the ethics of terrorism.
They didn't kill Tarkovski, despite at one point viewing him as a subversive and dissident. He defected in 1979.
Tarkovski is arguably one of the best and most influential directors of all time, but you don't seem to know that much about him. Do you think you're in a position to be a snob about what you consider a 'mere Disney' show?
In my experience, real filmlovers aren't snobs. Same goes for music, art, books, etc. Posers invariably are though. They pretend that they're better than that, because they're insecure and need to feel better about themselves.
it’s Tarkovsky, not Tarkovski
TIL. In my native language the ий in Тарковский (still?) becomes an i.
Honestly, I wonder if they don't just do it randomly. I volunteered with Ukrainians. I met brothers who had the same family name in cyrillic, but two different names in roman/latin script. They were in the same group, but didn't follow each other in an alphabetic list of surnames. Wasn't a y/i either. Think it was something at the beginning of the surname.
IRC the Soviets used to use the French method of romanisation (for passports). So the ий became an i. I think at a certain point they started using an english system, in which the ий becomes a y.
But if you google romanization of Russian and the Russian alphabet, you'll still see that й can become an i, y, or even a j.
