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).

@LaFinlandia@sopuli.xyz 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.

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.

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

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.

Please wrap the citations in a spoiler tag to reduce that wall of text. TY

I wish these things came with an English transcript :P

I don’t think so. Got it from a royalty-free site.

I flipped the image r to left think it would look better on the right bar where you usually see it and that might be what’s weird.

Edit: oh, I think I f’d with the tint or something to make it a F up as a joke.

I just made it a week ago or so.

Different server and mod(s). Pretty much was created because that TIFU didn’t show up on my searches for whatever reason. TBH its too early to really say. Hopefully it gets used more.

While Ukraine has taken a small piece of Kursk

That ‘small piece of Kursk’ is more territory than Russia has gained between their Kharkiv withdrawal and subsequent slow grinding offensive.

The losses are for less than nothing. Even with their seemingly inexorable advance they’ve lost overall territory and fighting ability relative to Ukraine. I still project Russia has maybe 2 years tops of fighting left but so long as Ukraine limits their withdrawal rate to what we’ve seen of late they will win.

Ooh ooh, now do HARMs
