    Another shitty AI written article. Is there any source that makes sense?

      This appears to be a reprint of an MSN article which was apparently written by a human. Just not very well.

      https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/russian-occupation-authorities-destroy-unesco-world-heritage-site-build-outdoor-theater-in-its-place/ar-BB1oXZk7

      However, I’m also not finding a really good alternate source. Every other source was an outlet I’ve never heard of.

      I wouldn’t be shocked if it were true, but I’d sure like better info.

          That would be one of the outlets I’ve never heard of.

          Are you familiar with it? Media Bias Fact Check isn’t.

            I’ve seen it a few times related to war stuff. Looks like it’s mostly arts coverage though, kind of like Smithsonian magazine or something.

              Fair enough. If it’s accurate, they are also taking artifacts back to Russia. This is all part of their attempt to claim Ukraine as their ancestral homeland (true-ish?), giving them the right to invade it.

              Okay, where would you go to find out whether or not that or any other media link is remotely trustworthy?

                  First of all, incivility is against community rules. Please do not do it again.

                  Secondly, “common sense” is the thing that made people believe the sun revolved around the Earth for thousands of years. Just because you believe your “common sense” tells you the truth doesn’t mean it does. So that’s a really terrible way to find out whether or not a source, especially one you’ve never heard of before, is trustworthy.

                  Ask any con man- the easiest people to con are the people who think they’re too smart to be conned.

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
