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 When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title.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, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
- 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.)
(This list may get expanded when necessary.)
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 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 mods: @federalreverse@feddit.org, @poVoq@slrpnk.net, or @anzo@programming.dev.

MODERATORS
If this is something you want, you shouldn't be voting for right-wingers, then, should you?
Right-wingers won't touch the rich. They are the ones that keep lowering their taxes.
"Eat the rich" is not a right-wing slogan.
Yes. That's the point.
The whole continent just pivoted Right, and thusly endeavours like this one are dead on arrival.
I misread your comment. Apologies. Thought you saying right-wingers would tax the rich.
Yeah, Europe is just becoming an American colony. They didn't prepare their citizens for the internet and a reaping the stupidity rewards.
Is op voting for right-wingers? Else, I find the use of "you" a bit odd.
It's a collective “you”. Europe went all-in on Right- parties, and squaring that with "tax the rich" is challenging.
So, I personally didn't vote for any far-right party. And I suspect neither did a lot of the people in this community. That "collective you" seems woefully misapplied.
