Europe community on dbzer0. Intended to be a place to discuss European news,
politics, or just general topics from a European perspective. Since this is on
dbzer0 expect the community to lean more leftist-anarchist but a wide range of
views are accepted here (within reason). Rules: ::: spoiler 1. No Bigotry or
Hate Speech Any forms of Homophobia, Transphobia, Queerphobia, Racism, or
Ableism will be met with swift and harsh action and will not be tolerated here
whatsoever. Bigots will be banned immediately on-sight. This includes apologia
of it. Trying to be politely or intellectually bigoted i.e. “Just asking
questions” won’t be tolerated. ::: ::: spoiler 2. No Zionism Any forms of
Zionism or Zionist rhetoric will not be tolerated here, this includes Zionist
apologia, accusations of antisemitism towards anti-Zionists, or blatant denial
or downplaying of the genocide towards Palestinians. Any attempt to uphold or
prop up the IHRA definition of antisemitism, will be treated as Zionism. Anyone
engaging in Pro-Zionist sentiment or apologia will be actioned in accordance
with its severity. Note: Trying to find loopholes or whataboutery to see what is
or isn’t genocide denial or Zionism will be treated as a violation of this rule.
Don’t test us. ::: ::: spoiler 3. Stay Civil Please maintain civil discourse in
the community. Do not engage in arguments with others, name-calling, or insults.
Note that calling out bigotry or Zionism is not considered an insult. In heated
arguments users are encouraged to or even required to disengage
[https://wiki.dbzer0.com/divisions-by-zero/the-disengage-rule/] failure to do so
will result in mod action. ::: ::: spoiler 4. No Misinformation Spreading of
misinformation intentionally in this community is unacceptable and will not be
tolerated. Spreading misinformation hurts the credibility of the community and
can mislead people sometimes in dangerous ways. Users who intentionally post
misinformation as articles, comment answers, or in attempt to win arguments will
be actioned swiftly. Note: This includes Russian and Chinese propaganda. Users
with a history of such posting will be banned on sight. ::: ::: spoiler 5. No AI
Content Please do not post articles or content primarily created using
generative AI. Generative AI content may contain misinformation or be lower
quality and thus is discouraged. Posts and comments featuring it will be
removed. However this community does not allow or tolerate Anti-AI trolling or
hostility and users who engage in such behavior will be actioned for it,
additionally Anti-AI trolling violates Rule 3 and often Rule 4 so it is
generally unacceptable already. ::: -------------------------------------- Note:
Rules 1 & 2 may be subject to preemptive mod action due to their severity, and
they apply to a user’s entire post history. Not just this community.
I recently created a Europe community on lemmy.dbzer0.com to act as an alternative to the Europe community on Feddit.org since that one has had some controversy and is becoming less viable for discussing current events in Europe, especially relating to Israel.
The new community allows much of the same content as on the old one but also allows news and discussions related to the conflict in Israel and disallows genocide apologia (can’t believe I have to advertise this as a feature).
If that sounds like something you’re interested in I urge you to check out [email protected]
The people who constantly post about Gaza in every single thread are the worst in this regard. While yes, the genocide isn’t okay and it should be discussed, there’s a time and place and it doesn’t need to be brought up everywhere in every discussion. Many of them are needlessly hostile when this is brought up to them and you just get labeled a genocide supporter. Sometimes I just want to scroll and read threads without hearing about children dying all the time. Gaza is their entire personality and it seems like nothing else matters to them in their lives.
