@Eheran Thanks, yeah I saw your other comments that provided informational links after posting this.

@Ulara @cheese_greater Not really sure it is true that it is more gentle on its own population as a blanket statement. That would depend on the era we are talking about. Stalin certainly was worse but Gorbachev wasn't.

@ours I constantly see it said that these are actually unlikely to be white phosphorus as a reply to the videos being labeled as such...

Anyone have a longer explanation or a link to one about the range of things these kinds of attacks can be and why they might or might not be white phosphorus when it is Russia doing it in Ukraine?

@Wilshire @ukraine These are horrible. Personally I make myself look because I feel it is important not to get a censored view of what is happening in war so I can stay more aware of the real costs instead of just looking at tanks blowing up from aerial footage (while conveniently forgetting there were people inside)...

@annanic @ukraine If you have other quality suggestions, feel free to offer them like others have done. I've gone through hundreds of accounts from various lists but most lists are either very small or have tons of dormant accounts. Personally I think most on this one are reasonably good quality but obviously that's a matter of taste.

If you narrow the scope by whatever specific criteria you will probably end up with a pretty small list as things stand on Mastodon right now. Even this one is not a particularly long list.

@Ulara Yes @hanse_mina is worth a follow too.

BTW, seems like lemmy did not show your message either as part of the thread before I tagged @ukraine in this reply even though you posted on #lemmy. Weird.

@dan80 @ukraine Some good additional suggestions there and thanks for linking your list as well! There's lots more accounts to follow besides the ones I mentioned for sure if anyone is left wishing they had a larger list.

The better known ones that I may have left out I probably just put in a slightly different category due to other stuff they post about or think are inactive on Mastodon currently.

@yugaego @ukraine I know what you mean and it does make sense to me too that Russia should be named being the one to blame for this war.

@DeeGLloyd @ukraine Good suggestion, I agree @anderspuck is another great one to follow.

@ijatz_La_Hojita @ukraine I don't think anyone in these supports Russia but I've at least tried to find ones that strive to be accurate and reasonably objective.
