Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Oh boy, had a look at the Finnish side of these news and they are going hard with the sabotage narrative, with red breaking news/CRISIS banners and everything.
The latest is "there were many different ships moving around in the area at the time and this could have also been Russian Double Deception!!!!" Aka they may have very visibly been there to cover up being there to do something shady???
In the next sentence: "This may also have been because there was storm on the Baltic at the time."
They are also stating that an accident is the most unlikely scenario.
So it's getting wilder. Sadly this stuff is only in Finnish.

I've noticed that in the last couple of years the threshold for them using the CRISIS banners has become super low. In the summer, some skier in her 90s died and Yle had the black ”this is serious” banners up.
Haha yes, pretty sure they were up for the billionaire submarine bs too.
