Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
Amusingly the same logic is now being applied in order to cut back on human rights in Europe as well. Measures have to be taken to protect the fragile and naive public from evil Russian propaganda.
We're good because we're not THEM, nevermind that we're doing all the shit that we say makes them evil and inhuman, we have to do it because otherwise THEY would win, and they would do all the things we're doing, which we have to do to stop them from doing all the things we're doing, which we have to do to stop them from doing all the things we're doing, which we have to do to stop them from doing all the things we're doing, which we have to do to sto
Yep, Russian news is basically censored across the continent, and travel sanctions effectively mean you can't meet any Russians in person either.
Just in case we see them as actual human beings or something.
the crazy part is how easily this stuff became normalized
