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 When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title.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 !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.)
- 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)
- 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. 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

I wonder how orban will react. I expect with federal law enforcement or otherwise armed forces, sending a clear and distinct message.
Is Hungary a federation?
I didn't knew there was no federation in Hungary. Sorry 'bout that.
Not yet! We only have counties, no states. Maybe in a few years the Republic of Europe.
I'm guessing the commenter wrote federal law, as they are more familiar with american laws in English. We are just one state.

How the Ukraine War Accelerated the Kremlin’s Campaign Against LGBTQ+ Visibility in Russia
As Pride Month unfolds around the world, celebrating diversity and inclusion, the LGBTQ+ community in many countries continues to face severe repression and discrimination. One such country is Russia, where LGBTQ people are regarded as extremists, gay propaganda laws are in place and governmental crackdown on anything LGBTQ rolls on (a recent example is the so-called “publisher’s case,” in which three managers of Russia’s largest publisher, Eksmo, were arrested on charges of “LGBT propaganda and extremism”).
Given this repressive atmosphere, it is hard to believe that, as recently as three years ago, Western-style pride events were still possible in Russia. This changed abruptly with Putin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
This is not to suggest, of course, that Russia had ever been particularly gay friendly – far from it. State-sanctioned homophobia had been on the rise since at least 2013. However, despite that, there were signs that Russia was still slowly accepting queer identity and expression ...
