Who would think that in a war, the people opposing you would be treated differently than your own people? This is the reality of war and not specific to this conflict.

Yea, “someone told us” seemingly without any further evidence should not be the basis of such an article. Without verifying claims, human rights watches are bound to be abused for propaganda purposes.

One thing I always like to remind people of: The fact that these effects are, if at all existent, so small that they can barely be observed also means that if they do turn out to be harmful, it’s not too bad, as the harm is also small. It’s not like e.g. lead in the water where you can very clearly prove a significant harm.

All kinds if interesting, whacky stuff.

Should be all the communities that your instance has discovered.

Not that I know of.

You need to type it with an exclamation mark in front. Lemmy will then provide you a dropdown of it’s communities, and upon selection convert it into a markdown link:

!fediverse becomes
[!fediverse@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/c/fediverse) 

which is shown as a link like this !fediverse@lemmy.world

The crazy thing is that I find myself commenting way more in here. If I was to answer to an askreddit thread, it would just get lost, but since the community here is smaller, it feels like every comment has more relevance
