A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Trains are cool, but industrial sabotage against authoritarian regimes is cooler
Based AF right here
Fuck russia
Based on the article, I can't tell if this is a good thing or a bad thing. What was on the train? Where was it going?
It happened not too far away from Moscow, so it is quite unlikely that it was a military cargo train. But who knows?
From the picture, it looks like a cargo train and not a passenger train. Anything that hurts Russian industry is positive for the war effort. Particularly when it comes to trains as now that route is closed for a time, in addition to the loss of the train and cargo.
Fuck Putler and his ruZZkie regime.
Oh, you called him a bad name on the internet. That I'll show 'em...
Seriously, fuck Russia but let's have some class...
A strange turn of phrase in the headline. Consider... "A derailment due to interference by authorised persons".
It's a relevant distinction.
Interference by unauthorized person's = outsider threat.
Other possibilities could be intentional malicious actions by authorized people (insider threat), or a mistake by authorized people (human error, incompetence, negligence, ...)
Right on.
It's just that I'd have expected those synonyms to have been used in the headline.
Though thinking about it some more: maybe the vagueness is actually more correct if it's unknown if the interference was deliberate.
I suppose it's a small mercy that the headline wasn't "unauthorised interference on Russian railway, you'll never guess how many cars detailed".
Unauthorized persons discover this one weird trick. Fat controllers hate them!
