Basics:
- This is a curated community but everyone is welcome to post. Please read the rules before engaging.
- Intent of this community is to fit the purpose rather than being popular.
- I encourage browsing content sorted by the time of posting.
Etiquette:
- Basic human decency, authenticity, honesty and accountability.
- No witch hunts, no doxxing, no brigading.
- No punching down.
- No approval for authoritarianism.
- No hate speech against groups based on innate traits.
- Aesthetics are irrelevant and profanities are human but don’t use them to replace punctuation.
Content:
- From Europe or about Europe.
- Europe is Iceland and Georgia but not Israel or Turkey.
- In English for news unless breaking with translation provided. Other European languages are allowed for things where meaning can be inferred from context.
- If source not clear from the URL (like YouTube, Yahoo) please provide news agency or author name after a „|” separator in the title.
- No title editorialising unless for unclear or unnecessarily alarmist titles. Change it in a neutral matter or provide non-biased context or wing it as long as it’s descriptive.
- No dupes within reason, new content must contain new information or offer in-depth analysis or opinion. In case of breaking news, if dupes exists decision which one to preserve will not be based on time of posting but on quality and number of comments.
- Direct links only.
- Paywalled content permissible as long as archived version is provided or if breaking news.
- Regular journalism only for news content. No blogs, social media unless from official accounts.
- Prioritise posting concrete actions and deliveries over posting political speech and announcements.
- Prefer nice things and responsible journalism but require truth over feeling nice.
- Prefer original source.
- Content should stimulate discussion but no outrage porn, by extension no news on minor crime.
- Frogs can be posted on Wednesdays.
Subject to mod taste:
- No self promo of anything that can give monetary gain, other promo permissible within reason as long as it’s from an established user and hosted on an open network.
- No excessive trolling, no clowning.
- No low quality or low effort content. High quality memes are allowed if they’re original content or refer to current events. Applicable to posts more than comments.
- No vulgar content - no porn, no gore.
- Arbitrary bans will be awarded for making my life harder.
Moderation style:
- Mods are people. Mods will make mistakes and sometimes not own to it for some time.
- Mods are not responsible for the way you browse this community, I assume everyone read the rules before engaging.
- Mods sleep. Content not being taken fast enough doesn’t mean it’s permitted. Might leave stuff up not to stop people from discussing.
