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 When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title.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

The worst are the dinks who play their music loud and are trying to rap along to it. It’s cringe as fuck, they look like fools
It’s a dominance display. They know that you don’t know whether they’re carrying a knife and thus won’t ask them to shut up.
Dinks?
I live in Canada, maybe only we call people Dinks when they’re being morons
It used to mean something different in the US in the 1980s. But based on context I can tell that is not the meaning here.
Double Income, No Kids. Those fuckers who could afford headphones.
Those fuckers who could afford headphones.
Pretty much everyone should be able to get ahold of earbuds.

You can get USB-C earbuds for something like $3. They won't have all the blingy active noise cancellation stuff, but nobody had ANC on their portable music players up until pretty recently. And they're probably gonna be clearer than trying to hear a cell phone speaker on mass transit.
I can't even get a large soda around here for $3.
It was a joke, OP explained themselves. Your point is still very valid. Those people ar just inconsiderate assholes.
Dude I get your point but no, use a better example. Cheap headphones reduce the nuisance only, music still leaks out and now the noise sounds like someone is beating a tin can instead of resembling music.
I always knew Dink as "Double Income, No Kids".
I don't think it means the same here however.
How is there 30% support? That’s way higher than I was expecting.
They're the fucks who play music
Sounds more like 30% don't give a fuck
Same happened in Berlin 2 weeks ago or so. Have seen less people being annoying in public transport. But still saw a few blasting tik tok off the speaker.
Honestly, fuck those people. I wish them a very unpleasant day.
