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 When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title.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 admin that applied the rule (check modlog first to find who was it.)

This is most likely a nothingburger, because other age groups have the same rate of emigration willing people. In German: https://tube.funfacts.de/w/uV2VJ1XmsG2MMgqQTekmFD Edit: machine translation of the video transcript: There are many quality criteria for scientific studies.
Can the results be representatively applied to the average society? How were the methods evaluated? That’s what we wanted to directly verify with this youth trend study. But you have to buy it on the authors website for €73.90. That’s €73 more than I earn today. And they’d probably also deduct the 9 cents for the glass of tap water. Join the gang! What we did find out for free on the study aurhors website. The study—the author seems quite proud of it—is known, among other things, from Lanz und Brecht and Gemischtes Hack. Those are actually nice podcasts, at least one of them. But still nothing I’d use to promote my scientific credibility. I might as well have the Amigos sing my study. We tried to find a license-free photo of Markus Lanz, but mostly found photos he uploaded to Wiki Comments. So, here’s our photo with Markus Lanz. He photographs a lot of birds—I don’t know why. We have different audiences and different platforms. So, to all the young women on Instagram and TikTok, we see you, we hear you. And to all the old men on YouTube, Lanz und Brecht is not a science podcast. The €73.90 also includes appealing infographics. We didn’t have the money for that, so we just made up an infographic. This study is basically the Galileo of scientific works. So, let’s get back to emigration. 21 percent of young people want to emigrate according to this trend study. That’s the same as the national average. Pretty wild, if you ask me. Average is already wild. Or, to put it in terms for Galileo viewers, that’s ten football fields in Saarland.
