Children in the Fire [is] a new documentary directed by Evgeny Afineevsky, a Russian-born, US-based film-maker whose previous works include Cries from Syria, about the Syrian civil war, and the Oscar-nominated Winter on Fire, which covered the 2013-14 Euromaidan protests in Ukraine. Along with horrifying stories of abduction and forced adoption, the new film also features children who have endured extensive burns, injuries and amputations since February 2022.

The film includes footage of Putin stating that, “Wars are not won by generals, but rather by schoolteachers and priests.”
“He is saying that re-education is the key element of winning the war. And it applies not only to Ukrainian kids; it applies to the entirety of Russia. He is trying to create a sort of Hitler Youth movement.”

Lemmy is the public facing internet. It is no different than anywhere from a community standpoint (and has a lot of implications from a privacy/security one).
But, to harp on that: You randomly popped in and accused someone of potentially spreading misinformation. I pointed out that they actually already provided the source of that quote and you could find it yourself with a quick google.
Which gets into the idea of algorithm driven versus self curated online experiences. The Algorithm is wonderful for getting your rocks off. But, as you rightfully pointed out, it is not a good idea to have other people curate your facts and information. Hence: Learn to verify stuff yourself.
asking for a source is not the same as accusing someone of spreading misinfo

Sources!? Lol, seriously though. Don’t ask for something you can search in three seconds. If you genuinely cannot find it, then perhaps you could request a source.
Asking for sources is most of the time disingenuous unless it is a scientific forum. So if you get pushback it is because countless trolls use this as a way to be dismissive and abusive.
Even in a scholarly discussion, giving the source of a quote (“the UN’s criteria for Genocide”) is usually more than enough for a discussion and arguably even a journal paper.
Optimally? Yes, you do actually get your bibtex on. But fricking nobody likes footnotes in a discussion. If it is central to the thesis then you definitely cite (and date/archive that). But as an aside or a fun fact? You’ll get dinged in English class but made fun of by editors who acknowledge you are correct but also want to give you a wedgie for actually doing it.
