A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

When you literally add "if you commit real life treason, we will ban you from our videogame forums" and it still doesn't work.

No force is stronger than the autistic urge to correct something that is wrong in the special area of interest.

It's practically a weekly occurrence at this point.

Surely we can do better. Daily?

If I had a nickel every time someone posted classified documents in the WarThunder forums I would have ~~2~~ ~~3~~ Enough.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 90 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Disagreeing with the moderators is also against the rules.

At least they admit it.

[–] Thorry84@feddit.nl 94 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They didn't say disagreeing with moderators, they said disagreeing with moderation.

I read that as: You can disagree with how a mod applies the rules and challenge that. You can't disagree with the rules themselves, the rules are the rules, take it or leave it.

And personally I think complying with NATO export restrictions seems like a good rule.

When are we getting them alien tech?

Somebody please leak them.

[–] Valthorn@feddit.nu 53 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Someone comes along with a "You primitive earthlings! The ØXÇ-57 Plasma Cannon has a much faster cool down. [Link to schematics]"

[–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 53 points 1 week ago (1 children)

probably the most compelling evidence that aliens have not visited Earth, if they did then technical documentation would have been leaked on warthunder forums.

Can we get an alien-themed DLC or something just to make sure?

They're all UAPs if you don't know what they are!

someone posting the tic-tac specs to win a shitpost argument would epic

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

No point in leaking that data if you can't go "look, that alien ship is wrong. Here is the technical doc to prove it"

All of this has happened before, and it will happen again.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What's next in the rotation? Helicopters?

[–] topherclay@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] untorquer@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Naval is on the horizon.

Planes will go around again.

[–] topherclay@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Firearms will get a shot after that.

Opsec? What's that?

[–] einfach_orangensaft@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I always wonder if those leaks lead to wikipedia improvements on the given topics somewhere down the line

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Wiki requires citation. It's pretty easy for a government to have someone go in there and revert it for being uncited.

For real?

I know nothing of this game, except I’ve heard at least three instances where this happened and it always makes me chuckle.

[–] pressanykeynow@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

There were at least 14 according to Wikipedia.

For real?

... Checks community name ... Yeah, I'll buy it.

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

I met a Eurofighter Typhoon pilot once. Having made the Airfix model as a child, I was suitably impressed.

[–] erin@social.sidh.bzh 16 points 1 week ago (6 children)

And yet in that same timeline Okami 2 has been announced 18 years after the release of the first game so as long France postpone its warning shot until the game release and I can finish it, I'm ok with that ^^

I wonder if War Thunder forums will be one of the things Russia will keep allowing connections to (they're planning to get off the wider 'net), since it's such a treasure trove for classified info on other countries' arsenals.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemm.ee 14 points 1 week ago

Disconnecting the country from it doesn't mean their government won't have access...

[–] doktormerlin@feddit.org 8 points 1 week ago

Simply put: no. It doesn't make any sense.

Russia as a whole will not be cut from the internet. North Korea isn't cut from the internet. The public is. And the public does not need this information
