They’re the type to freeze instead of fight or flight

Nice try, monobot glares suspiciously

Rosguardia has hundreds of thousands of internal soldiers. Assuming their allegiance is to the MoD (and at this point there is no way of knowing), I don’t see how Prigozhin could successfully stage the ousting.

If he was really trying to help the Ukrainians the most effective decision would probably be to attack the rear of the Russian lines to allow Ukrainian forces to come through. Wagner units have been off the front for about a month so I don’t think it really has any effect on Ukraines ability to break through the lines without the above scenario happening, but nothing Prigozhin has said leads me to think he’d help Ukraine, as he also stated he plans to return to the Frontlines to help defend the motherland against the west after ousting Shoigu.

It’s honestly so hard to tell what’s happening. Is Prigozin acting in cahoots with Putin to solidify power? Is he being helped by the CIA to institute a coup? Is he just gone nutters and going rogue? Is this just another extreme version of political theatre from him? There are suggestions he’s already started walking back some of the comments. Time will tell.

Incorrect title, he has declared they’re marching (or planning to) march against Shoigu and oust him from the MoD.

In his statement he specifically states that he thinks the MoD has also misled the President. So his argument is that he is he’s trying to help Russia and Putin by getting rid of Shoigu.

FSB has declared a criminal investigation on charges of inciting a coup, and Rosguardia has been put on high alert. Medvedev has stated “all necessary precaution measures have started”.

Will be interesting to see what happens next.

FSB has announced they’ve started a criminal investigation into him.

I wonder if he’s in cahoots with the CIA or something?

/r/politics and /r/worldnews are beyond terrible. Just constant propaganda and astro turfing, bots, and just generally brainwashed idiots who take an editorialized headline as fact, and then race to the comments to make a shitty non-constructive joke. And God forbid you try to bring up evidence to counter their arguments, you’ll get downvoted to hell if not banned. It really started to become noticable around 2016 after Bernie lost the primaries, and it’s only gotten exponentially worse since then.

More is not better. Also if you think Facebook, Meta or the zuck are good people, you haven’t been paying attention.

Can’t wait for the neolib astroturfing to make it’s way here too

Value/JSONOBJECT error happens to me constantly. usually when navigating to comments, a community,a post by someone from their profile,etc. Probably the biggest blocker to using the app right now.

Honestly we’re all adults here and we all know how the Internet works. Best to not feed the trolls and ignore them. The more attention you give the more it gives the appearances that their rhetoric has validity. Just move on and let’s all focus on making a better fediverse for all

Ukrainian soldiers are also complaining about lack of ammunition and are fielding. T-55s. While Russia has a much larger geographical and raw resource base to rely on to build new Equipment, Ukraine does not have that luxury (but does have western support). So if Putins statements about increasing production of military equipment 3x-10x are accurate projections, I can see why they still think they can keep going.

The ability to swipe away posts, or collapse out all the ‘read’ posts was awesome for browsing

Not losing much if you get banned, I decided to name-drop Lemmy as well. I encourage everyone to mention it or whatever their favorite fediverse instance is.

It’s time for social media to stop being ran by for profit corporations, it’s just inevitable for them to ruin shit for the sake of slightly increasing quarterly profits

Yep, think of the math like this:

1000 users that we can get $1 of profit from totalling $1000 profit

Or 500 users we can get $3 of profit from totalling $1500 profit.

$1500 > $1000 Therefore it’s a good decision.

Welcome to the mind of corporate executives

Relay dev said the same thing. It’s like even if I wanted to use Reddit on mobile, I can’t because the main app is literally unusable.

We’ll probably see a lot of traffic to Lemmy by then. Hope the servers are ready to handle an influx.

I made a comment earlier that got 7 uplems. You can say I’m kind of a big deal around here.
