It’s fine ,guys, we are not getting real information from both sides anyway, if you want the latest “BREAKING ” news, just use Twitter, otherwise somebody’s family would be cursed very soon
But I do think a thread with absolutely no discussion but news posted by both sides would be of great value, as a monument of this very special period of history
I disagree with the no Twitter part for this conflict. Like it or not, Twitter became a valuable source of information that allows us to see past narratives constructed by certain entities that have a stake in this conflict. A LOT of info and news is being uploaded to that site, and misinformation, incomplete facts, and absolute facts are all in one pile. Since this forum have many users here posting tweets in that thread, we got a diverse group of information from both sides, and the rest of us help differentiate between what’s real and what’s fake and start constructing an outline of the conflict despite our personal opinions. In my opinion, we did a pretty job at that, but some people start to forget what thread they are in and immediately get off topic. That can be solved via moderation.
For the thread of pure news, that would be possible but based on my experience in this forum, people post news FOR discussion, not because they are news scraping bots. The reality is we aren’t here just for news. We are here to learn and understand what is going on and analyze the information we got. That’s why the “Breaking News” thread ultimately became a major discussion thread.
Finally, we are getting way off topic. If you would like to propose and argue for a change like that, please do so in a seperate thread and the discussion can happen there.
@Deino If you don’t mind, can you please lock this thread?
