In the interest of moderation transparency, we’ve had a couple of reports about this post.
Here’s my thinking about it:
Community purpose
- This post is more political that would ordinarily be seen on AskLemmy, ⬇️
- it is an open-ended thought provoking question, ⬆️
- it is generating healthy and informative discussion and debate. ⬆️
Rule 1:
- the post is not trolling, sealioning, racist or toxic, ⬆️
- the topic is contentious but seems to be worded politely, ⬆️
- the author has voluntarily amended the question to be more sensitive in their framing. ⬆️
Rule 3:
- it does not fit the definition of spam or astroturfing ⬆️
On balance, I’m going to let the post remain up.
It’s a Portmanteaux of Lemmy and humans.
Rule 5. Support/Lemmy meta question. Locking.
Support question. Please post in !support. Locking.
It’s 4 days late, but I’ll wade in.
It’s possible to express an opinion without being an asshole about it. That’s what Rule 1 is about. Not censorship.
I don’t like (factual) Y about country X. <- Doesn’t breach Rule 1.
The people in country X are all shit stains <- Breaches Rule 1.
Diplomatic honesty is fine (at least with me).
What isn’t fine are:- Personal attacks,
- Doxxing, trolling, sealioning,
- attacks on whole groups of people because of:
- stereotypical characteristics.
- ingroup-outgroup bias,
- readily disprovable dis/misinformation.
In summary, respectful debate is welcome. Nastiness is not.
Remember Rule 1 people.
Woah, woah, woah. Let’s not get too carried way here. Some things we just shouldn’t talk about.
Beards, not mullets!
61·22 days agoLet’s start with the second part of your question? How do you make someone understand that invading another country is not a good thing?
I’m hoping you just forgot an /s. But just in case, there’s nothing ‘ordinary’ about it. Unless you are talking about the ‘new ordinary’.
OP, if you feel the need, please call for help if you need it.
I wrote Pink Floyd off after Roger Waters supported Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.
Black people aren’t Black people. They’re people.
This! I couldn’t believe it when I had to answer a question about race on the entry card into the US.
I get asking about skin color. It’s like hair color, or eye color, but race? So many assumptions and biases just in that one word (race).
Support question. Locking.
Locked as OP has made it clear that this post is not really an open-ended question.
Borderline comment. I’ll leave it here, but tone it down please.
Rule 5. Locking.
