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 When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title.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 !yurop@lemm.ee. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
- 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: RT, news-pravda:com, GB News, Fox, Breitbart, Daily Caller, OAN, sociable:co, citjourno:com, brusselssignal:eu, europesays:com, geo-trends:eu, 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 any of the mods: @federalreverse@feddit.org, @poVoq@slrpnk.net, or @anzo@programming.dev.

There's always that one person who just wants to ruin it for everyone else. Reminds me of some people I knew back in high-school, that kind of person who, when the entire class convenes to skip classes together, insists on staying behind to lick some teacher boots.
Odd comparison.
First thing which popped into my mind. That kind of experience taught me that sometimes solidarity is more important than anything else.
Oh Meloni is very much in solidarity, with the fascist. And I don't know what kind of teachers you had when your first thought is to compare them with Trump.
I don't think you really mean it like this but maybe next time consider the context when doing comparisons.
Let me put it this way: nobody skipped classes when the teachers knew how to actually explain and teach and didn't just shovel decontextualised information down our gullets for us to rote and then regurgitate on paper. Yes, we've had plenty of Trumps...
Edit: as for your last addition, yep. The context was not the issue, the issue is that I forgot that not everyone went through the Romanian educational system.
... You think that people who actually want to learn new things are the fascists? I'd ask you if you are dumb but you already answered that with your class skipping
Not everybody sees teachers like evil oppressors jfc
not the teachers fault, but middle schoolers aren't the most cooperative demographic for standardised education, but maybe (?) it's the most important time for culture building to have standardised education
He didn't say that. He just gave an example (a rather poor one given the context) of people lacking solidarity.
Insulting people like this won't get you anything.
Again, he never said this. Forgive me for saying this, but it seems you're very angry about something and you just want to start an argument. Maybe take a break from the internet for a day?
That person is a fascist quite often for some reason. (The reason is that their world view is build on hatred and lies)
