Rules (2024-08-30)

  1. 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.
  2. 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 When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title.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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in !yurop@lemm.ee. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
  8. 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.
  9. 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.)
  10. 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

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

You mean communism?

Edit: /s because it seems it wasnt obvious enough

[–] Kiliyukuxima@lemmy.world -5 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Jesus fucking christ. How is an union communist? Lol do unions advocate that all workers should be equally owners? Do you even know what a union or communism is? What a stupid brainwashing shit have you guys been suffering?

Wow chill I was being sarcastic. Thought it was obvious enough but seems Lemmy isnt so different from reddit after all, the /s is always needed.

With so many pro-far left here it’s pretty logical we thought you were serious

[–] tomi000@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

My comment was meant to mimic right-wing talking points which exaggerate social democratic ideas as as if they were extremist viewpoints. Guess it wasnt as clear as I imagined it in my head.

[–] reksas@sopuli.xyz 2 points 7 hours ago

many might get annoyed about mentioning those talking points, even if its obviously not serious. I'm not accusing you of anything or anything like that, but by even mentioning it also perpetuates the "meme" those rightwing assholes have been manufacturing. So its kind of same thing as why you shouldn't use derogatory terms even as joke or ironically -> it keeps them alive in collective consciousness.

The whole communism = bad and anything even slightly left = communism is deliberate effort to demonize anything that might help america's working class and breaking the grip the rich have on the country. Or if it supposedly isn't, it's suspiciously too effective way to achieve exactly that.
