  • You're absolutely right I haven't ever seen that things got removed for beeing to old. Somehow the rule just read very strict to me as ESL, but liked the idea of knowing the date of the information before I click, hence the proposal.

    I really appreciate the quality, transparency and participatory aspect of moderation (and hexbear general) and love the culture here. The news mega (and hb) is the first thing I check in the morning heart-sickle

  • YYYY-MM-DD of course

    Joking aside: I may be off, but I interpreted the rule proposal https://hexbear.net/comment/5426732 as a rule that if enforced, not current news get removed and voted no as a result. Sometimes you stumble upon articles that I haven't seen discussed here but are somewhat dated yet still contain worthwhile information

  • Inspired by the source in title and time qualifier proposals. While placing a time qualifier on what constitutes current news is a too strong measure imho Id propose a softer form:

    Proposal:

    Encouragement to post the date of news in the title or comment body on the mega, especially if you know that what you post is not current (e.g. one month)

    Disclaimer: I'm mostly a lurker and am aware that this can be seen as a big ask

  • NATO official: Ukraine has legal right to strike deep into Russia
  • linked to the article that supports that assertion

    It doesn't support that assertion at all. It's highly speculative based on flight movements and a lack of response from russia lol

    Also if you take lack of response from the other side as a confirmation, then oh boy have you checked what the RT and TASS are saying about the war?

  • NATO official: Ukraine has legal right to strike deep into Russia
  • Why are you presenting it as a fact when the article says

    Movements of planes used by top Kremlin officials show Putin may be in a hideaway near Surgut in western Siberia, it is claimed.

    Also "it is claimed" by the Ukrainian side. Do you have any Russian sources to corroborate this?

  • German far-right AfD staffer arrested on China spy charges - DW

    https://archive.md/rPKgq

    choice quotes

    German prosecutors on Tuesday said police had arrested an employee of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) political party on suspicion of espionage.

    In January, the accused is said to have repeatedly passed on information about negotiations and decisions in the European Parliament to his intelligence client.

    ...

    Investigators think the suspect may have passed information on parliamentary operations to China's Ministry of State Security.

    ...

    He has adopted a China-friendly stance, describing reports of human rights violations such as internment camps for Uyghurs and other minorities in Xinjiang as "anti-China propaganda."

    He has also insisted that Taiwan belongs to Beijing under international law and that Tibet is also China's rightful territory.

    Can't find where I read that they were also accused of spying against the "exile opposition" falun gong lol

  • French military has determined that Ukraine used a US-made Patriot missile on plane carrying Ukrainian POWs – AP
  • They dont link it directly

    https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-plane-crash-prisoners-exchange-d1d66509bdf26af0735a93fd275f32e8

    Some Western intelligence assessments have suggested the plane was shot down by a missile from Ukraine, although they could not confirm the presence of POWs on board.

    A French military official told The Associated Press that the country’s military concluded that Ukrainian forces used a battery of Patriot surface-to-air missiles to shoot down the Il-76, firing from about 50 kilometers (about 30 miles) away.

    The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to divulge the intelligence findings, said the Ukrainian battery apparently managed to stay hidden while getting closer to the target and then switched on its radar “just long enough to hit them.”

    Another Western official also said the plane was downed by “a missile strike rather than any kind of mechanical failure,” and it’s almost certain the missile was fired from Ukrainian territory. The official said “it’s not yet clear” whether it was carrying Ukrainian POWs.

  • Redditors having a normal one about the DPRK again
  • Why is the content ubiquitously pirated if it's legal and totally acceptable in NK?

    Do you pay for content??

    Could it not be the case

    there's likely a ton of cases

    I don't think it should be

    Thank you for your feels based analysis
