Fellow Eurobros, I know it's unlikely, but if it came to this which front would you rather fight at?
Why not both?

I've been wondering when Russia would take the gloves off and send in Segal. I guess after the government collapsed.
I think he left Damascus before homs fell.
The military didn't really seem like they wanted to fight for a dictator that already abdicated his throne.
I think we just get to wait and see. 🙈
I have no idea. It was titled something like "rebels take over Damascus airport". Then I went on flight radar and saw the airplane taking off with no destination set.
I can't verify how "real" it is other than I saw it on social media right before that airplane took off and saved it. Everything today moved pretty quickly.
Personally I don't think Assad was on that flight.
Edit: here is the source according to my browser history

The first thing Assad saw when he boarded his plane

Sorry I don't remember the original source but here's the video. https://files.catbox.moe/2n2y9q.mp4
I watched that live. The video from the airport a few minutes before was surreal.
Mod handled that super poorly and doubled down on being wrong... Honestly it's a master class on what not to do.
If you are banned from blahaj (or any other instance) your posts here will not federate on that instance. The refederation applies to the community not individual users or CDRMITTENS. That would need to be addressed by them with the other Lemmy instances admin team.
So to be clear if you use blahaj to view ncd you will still not see posts by CDRMITTENS until he appeals his ban with them.
Talking with ada this seemed to be a poorly handled miscommunication. Ada and her mod team are not selectively removing our content but they have banned some of our more active posters and this is the source of the original drama.
de-anonymising the moderators names in the mod log
I propose de-anonymising the moderators names in the mod log for transparency.
On Blahaj drama
The community is currently refederated with the blahaj instance. Going forward issues like this are to be addressed at first in a less public way if possible...
There is no reason for our communities to have a beef we both basically advocate for the same things in our own way.
For transparency I unremoved all the removed comments with one exception in the other thread and locked it... 🍿 I also removed any bans that resulted from that thread.
Ada pretty much fully explained the original issue:
Blahaj zone admin here. There’s quite a bit of confusion and misunderstanding in this thread.
No one is “selectively removing NCD content” or anything close to it.
What happened is that 6 months ago, CDRMITTENS was instance banned from lemmy.blahaj.zone over an anti Palestinian meme they posted. You can see the mod log for that here https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/modlog?postId=11419938. This meme conflated Hamas and Palestinians in general, and basically blamed Palestinians for their own gen
I say sneak in a NATO flag as well.
Yeah I don't know dude look over your posts your schizo posting... You only provided one source and it was regarding the president having the power to first strike...
Anyways I'm not going to be the one to ban you but this is dumb you didn't get any point across.
Please try to be nice and engage in good faith in the future of you want a discussion not whatever this is.
Hope you have a better day tomorrow. 🫡

housekeeping community update
Meta housekeeping update the last one for a while I hope:
I have made the following people mods from last week's vote on !minipcs@sh.itjust.works.
@fist_of_fartitude@sh.itjust.works
On the second vote regarding reddit mod team integration. I reached out to the two mods on Lemmy.
I have made @Hellschwarz@feddit.de a mod. The other mod @gkanor@lemmy.world has not responded but I did inform him he would need to post in this community to be made a mod due to Lemmy limitations.
Ideally there are enough mods that there should not be much work between them. I have not given any of them directions on
Would those conscripts be Russian?
Shamelessly appropriated.
Please vote here for how we want to move the community forward.
I have medical issues so will most likely be way less active/around pretty soon. I want some community input before that happens.
Please vote/keep discussion here: !minipcs@sh.itjust.works

on reddit
I am not and never was a reddit mod for ncd. I never even had a verified reddit account. I'm happy to add the reddit mods as mods here if they want(pending community approval).
Honestly I don't even really want to mod I just wanted an active ncd community to read some shit posts without using reddit.
I've tried reaching out to the ncd mods over Lemmy and never got a reply so I've just assumed they gave up on moving to Lemmy.
Edit: My bad I guess they did talk to me a month ago I think. I just had no idea who they were. Screenshots for full transparency...
