Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.
(This list may get expanded as necessary.)
Posts that link to the following sources will be removed
- on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons)
- on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
- on Hungary: Euronews
Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media. Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com
(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)
Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the primary mod account @EuroMod@feddit.org

The peacekeeping force is needed against the USA and Russia together.
This is for the US readers: 🖕
But also Canada should be invited. Holding my other finger for now.
It’s fair to assume most Americans on the Fediverse didn’t vote for Trump so I think this antagonisation is entirely unnecessary.
Anyone who gets on Lemmy and openly supports Trump gets stomped on pretty badly. We don’t stand for that kind of person here.
I think it’s terrible. But I think it’s necessary because it’s on the scale of nations that they treat us.
No. At the end of the day, people are people. The elites are who we should turn against, no matter the nation. The common people mostly aren't bad and face similar issues across national borders. We're more equal to each other than we are to the elites who run our countries. Nationalism is only harmful and divisive.
Could you please change your post so it says this instead:
This is for the trump-supporting US readers: 🖕
We need to be united with our allies. We have our differences, but we need each other. The USA is economically smaller than China and Russia, and Europe is militarily smaller than China alone. But together, we are twice as strong as China, both economically and militarily.
Someone might decide to take the chance and attack a peer. But not someone twice as strong. The result is peace. That's more important than our anger with the orange rapist.
Bruh, most of us are on your side, the side that is truly in our own interests.
