TLDR: You have to decide early where your limits are or you’ll be overrun before you can react.

I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, “no. get out.”
And the dude next to me says, “hey i’m not doing anything, i’m a paying customer.” and the bartender reaches under the counter for a bat or something and says, “out. now.” and the dude leaves, kind of yelling. And he was dressed in a punk uniform, I noticed
Anyway, I asked what that was about and the bartender was like, “you didn’t see his vest but it was all nazi shit. Iron crosses and stuff. You get to recognize them.”
And i was like, ohok and he continues.
"you have to nip it in the bud immediately. These guys come in and it’s always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don’t want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after a while they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too.
And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And it’s too late because they’re entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.
And i was like, ‘oh damn.’ and he said “yeah, you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people.”
It was eye-opening. I was very happy I was there to witness/get the explanation.
The uniqueness of the fediverse is that anyone can create their own instance, but that doesn’t mean you have to federate with their instance. Or that you should let anyone start a community on YOUR instance. You are ultimately responsible for your instance. It is, in my opinion, a failing of ActivityPub that foreign (not from the instance) content is (seems to be) copied to the displaying instance. Talk your way out of “my users where just federating boogey man/3d gun parts/child pornography content to my instance/server”.
YMMV

Correct. Something like this map using the TessaDEM (Digital Elevation Model) overlay.
I haven’t found a UA war map with that type of elevation overlay, but there are maps with topographic layers
- https://deepstatemap.live/en#10/47.5548/36.5749 <-- Topo layer, found bottom right, three stacked squares in a circle
- https://www.warmapper.org/interactive-map <-- open elevation layer, uses some weird transparent overlay, found top right, three stacked squares in a circle
- https://newsmap.pl/2022-russian-invasion-of-ukraine-interactive-map/ <-- Topograficzna, found bottom right, three stacked squares in a circle

A list of maps:
It’s just their “Putin is strong and Prigozhin is weak” propaganda now that the threat is gone.
Get that man more magazines!
They did/do have rewards for people turning in Russian military equipment and they do have the I Want to Live hotline for Russian soldiers to surrender.
One problem with a large enough surrender to be effective, would be organising and keeping it a secret long enough. Another would be getting it in an area that would be easily exploited. I assume the most loyal units are in the most exploitable areas.
