The unmanned craft was due to make a soft landing on the Moon's south pole, but failed after encountering issues as it moved into its pre-landing orbit.

It was Russia's first Moon mission in almost 50 years.

The spacecraft was scheduled to land on Monday to explore a part of the Moon which scientists think could hold frozen water and precious elements.

Roskosmos, Russia's state space corporation, said it lost contact with the Luna-25 shortly after running into difficulties.

God it is validating to see you say that. I’m new to the platform, reddit refugee, and am bombarded by what appears to be hard core communists. It’s exhausting.

Those communists are the ones who built the platform you’re speaking on.

I just meant this place wouldn’t exist without some of these “communists” and since they made it and were here for years before most of us, it’s not surprising there’s a lot of communist content.

You sound like you're implying that because they made significant technical contributions to useful software, then that automatically validates their political beliefs, and /u/KrayZeeOne@lemm.ee should just put up with it.

Unless you want to be in a bubble, I think we should at least have the option to be able to put up with people who have different opinions (regardless of whether they made the software). There are walled gardens like Beehaw for those who want a more filtered experience. The Fediverse is big enough for both of us.

Lemmy is social media. It's entertainment. Maybe there's a time and place to "put up with" genocide-deniers, but I don't fault anyone for not wanting to deal with that all the time.
