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 When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title.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 primary mod account @EuroMod@feddit.org

MODERATORS
Thanks for the warning. I agree with the sentiment for these link. Bad behaviour should not be rewarded. Is there an alternate way to access the text?
Yeah, you can archive the article with archive.org (.org is still safe, it has nothing to do with .is, .today etc).
Not true. Cutting reliance on gas - of whatever origin - is of the utmost importance. I mean anything energy related. Natural gas has other uses besides burning it to generate power, not talking about that. Renewables + energy storage tech are good enough substitutes that should prevent any new investments in last century's tech.

Solar and wind are already significantly cheaper just in cash terms than any other form of energy generation. Hydroelectric, geothermal, and tidal are more expensive than gas but offer none of the carbon drawbacks once construction is complete. Nuclear is significantly more expensive, has significant drawbacks in terms of waste management and the carbon cost of construction is very high but is "always on".
Basically, there is neither an environmental case for fossil fuels and there's no longer an economic one either, and the gap is widening each year as battery and generation technology advances.
US says "Our leadership rapes children and murders our own innocent people in the street. Constitutions, courts and the rule of law get in the way of billionaire child fucking and the systematic dismanteling of civil and human rights. Join our dystopia and you too can be raped and murdered by career criminals. You can trust us.
If I read headlines like that I always have the Civ5 NPC diplomacy animations in my head. Also lots of recent news also could be those bad Civ5 NPC reactions.
Like Washington did not weaponise compute chips and trade.
They mean like what they did to NS2 using Ukrainians?
I have no idea who blew up ns2 nor have any interest in speculations. It would be important to know, but without any convincing evidence this just distracts people from more important stuff. At some point we'll know. Whatever has happend, AFAIC it was the right outcome for the wrong reasons.
NS2 was a mistake. We shouldn't be reliant on Russian gas either. Especially not now.
