Those numbers are insane. 50k is NOTHING compared to 1.2 MILLION

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
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.

I don't believe the numbers. There is no way that Israel accepted a cease fire with that numbers of casualities
Why not?
The stated goal of entering Lebanon was to end the threat from Hezbollah - if they stay away from the border and allow the Lebanese government to enforce rule of law, hasn't that been fulfilled?
Hizbollah is still a threat with more than 10k fighters. Israel is lying about it's casualities numbers and impose censorship to hide figures
You'd think. You'd be wrong. The problem started when you used logic and math.
I start to worry there's an exchange rate of 1 Zionist for 20 'others'. That could explain why they think they can kill so many others before their egos are assuaged.
Hahaha
Israel considers anyone returning to the area to be Hezbollah. Despite a cease fire meant to end the fighting they are still telling people it's off limits. Which means they will shoot at them. In order to justify that they'll call them Hezbollah in the international press.
Israel is used to controlling the information sphere and they still think they can blame their victims.
Wow they both made violations, so they must be the same right?
Oh hezbollah just approached a border zone while Israel shot up a bunch of civilians. Oh yeah, both sides.
Hezbollah: starts withdrawing according to the agreement
Israel: shoots civilians
Hezbollah: "motha pussbucket..."
I really wonder how Hezbollah are going to take effectively ceding territory to the Lebanese Armed Forces(LAF). The agreement apparently mandates that after the 60 day transfer process that LAF, alongside UN forces, become the sole military presence in southern Lebanon, an area previously held by Hezbollah. While the two forces are "friendly" at the moment it also wasn't all too long ago that they fought on opposite sides of the Lebanese Civil War, and to me it's looking a lot like this agreement will push them closer to resuming that conflict.
Holy fuck, I click the plus sign to learn a little bit more about this topic, and my browser-based Lemmy web UI autoplays a video with sound. This is the first time I've noticed such a thing on Lemmy and worries me: will we need plugins/extensions to stop such things? Why isn't the sound muted by default?
Probably I could block the community for now, but I'm talking more about this new trend that I have not noticed before on Lemmy.
Can anyone recommend an extension to auto-mute these videos? I use Firefox on Android, with Blokada 5 app, and the extensions uBlock Origin, and Privacy Badger. I am not certain of the video type - OP has not inserted it, so it seems to be pulled automatically from the source, as: https://prod.vodvideo.cbsnews.com/cbsnews/vr/hls/3368993_hls/master.m3u8.
If it helps, this seems strictly a Lemmy issue: none of PieFed or Mbin or Tesseract do this autoplay:
Don't see this on Firefox (with ublock Origin) on desktop Lemmy web UI.
Hrm, me either. Both desktop Firefox and Chrome leave a GINORMOUS gap (>1 full page height for me) but don't show the video. The only Extension I have in that Firefox is uBlock Origin, and Chrome has none.
Safari not only auto-plays the video, but after I paused it and scrolled down it started to auto-play again, though pausing it the second time worked so it may have been some oddness in something not being finished downloading (yet it still started up the video regardless!).
Can these kinds of "ads" be pointed to as evidence that Lemmy no longer restricts advertising - i.e., it's main selling point? Netflix likewise does "not" have "ads" either - those videos that auto-play after you watch something, and when you pause something, and when you don't select something fast enough, and when you leave the player connected for too long, etc. - those, again, are "not" ads, just so you know. You know, um... in the sense that "well ackshually" they aren't (except, in fact, they are).
Edit: I also see the giant gap from https://startrek.website/post/16820546 too, but NOT from the OP Lemmy.World post. It looks like this may be related? I'm glad that video embeds are working again but... when they auto-play like that, WITH SOUND, that seems to cross a line for me. :-(
Weird I'm on the same instance as the community and poster and I see no video.
I'm pretty sure that's bc you are on Lemmy.World, which is still running older Lemmy software 0.19.3.
I made a separate post describing this issue. The TLDR for you is that it won't affect you until Lemmy.World upgrades to the modern software version.
After Lemmy.World, the #2 instance on the Fediverse (in terms of users) is Lemmynsfw.com, which is likewise running old software (probably awaiting the new admins asked for). And the #3 is lemm.ee, which does demonstrate this problem.
So even if it does not affect you, yet, it does a lot of other people right now, and will eventually affect everyone using the Lemmy web UI (I don't know if or which apps might be affected).
For a change, I am inclined to believe both of them.
Edit: You're an idiot if you trust either one. They both lie.
Big mistake. No ceasefire violations from Hezbollah so far. Around 18 by Israel since Wednesday.
There is no proof of this yet one way or the other.
Israel claims without evidence that displaced people driving in cars to return to the border region are Hisbollah and bombs them. No attacks by Hisbollah so far, to my knowledge. That then gets reported as "both sides violating the ceasefire"
