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 When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title.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), archive:is,ph,today (their JS DDoS websites)
- 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 (incl. Substack). 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

Damn, I got logged out. I'll now be deported to the US within 5 business days.
Then you will be deported back, ending up in a loop
There can't be a loop if everyone gets deported to latin America.
No, you're booked on contious flights back and forth and the tax payer just pays for all travel costs and the environmental decay.
But the share holders of the airline get rich so who cares?

Hope you're white.
They have held plenty of white people in detention for no good reason either in fact. People whose politics they don't like, or are in the other categories like trans, and just for no good reason, people that would pay for a ticket out that same day if told to, but instead are held in detention with no way to get a hearing or leave for weeks, months, until the news reports on their stories, at which point they are allowed to buy a ticket to leave.
The system just wastes money for no good reason, these contracts for housing prisoners are a huge source of graft, and they've what, 200 billion in homeland security just for last year, and 60 billion with Ice, and cutting them new checks right now. A lot of that is going to these tent city internment camps, privately owned, people that have donated to the party and it's leaders, and we just know that kickback to the deciders and president in their inflated contracts. One such provider previously got contracts they didn't fulfill, got paid for a couple tent camps they never completed, and got new contracts.
It's al about the money for many of them, it's easier for them to hold minorities without good cause as long as possible but they do hold white people too, and want to abuse them more than they do already.
