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 When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title.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: RT, news-pravda:com, GB News, Fox, Breitbart, Daily Caller, OAN, sociable:co, citjourno:com, brusselssignal:eu, europesays:com, geo-trends:eu, 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 any of the mods: @federalreverse@feddit.org, @poVoq@slrpnk.net, or @anzo@programming.dev.

Oh, the Germanity
In Stephen Harper-era Canada, they debated a denaturalisation law that would allow citizenship to be stripped from anyone who was entitled to another citizenship and who was convicted of a serious crime. Commentators pointed out that this could result in Canadian-born activists arrested for taking part in a protest in which property was damaged being deported to Israel if they had a Jewish grandparent.
If this principle is applied in Germany, it would be feasible for them to deport a German-born single citizen to Israel for calling Israel an apartheid state (i.e. IHRA-definition antisemitism).
You can’t appease xenophobic citizens, they always want more … one day they will come for you.
Man, Hungary has already implemented this law with the reduction of gathering rights. The government was campaigning along the lines of speeding past Europe... I guess they weren't lying.
I guess I am happy to see other countries facing similar threats, if only to realize that many Hungarians are just people like them, barely able to do anything in the face of such coordinated attacks.
In Hungary it is more about 'inside enemies' than weeding out migrants. That propaganda doesn't work anymore, because the government needs to bring in extra workers from the far east, as nobody local is willing to work for such wages.
Stay on your toes and place your hate in the right place, if you need to hang onto it. They make it sound nationalistic, but I think it's just plain old class war.
Imagine having dual Swedish and German citizenship, and being stripped of both at the same time. Imagine how fucked you’d be in that situation. Can you still work and access banking services? Can you legally move about in the Schengen area? I know my country fast tracks citizenship for stateless persons, but I can’t find a lot of information about what to do in the meantime.
It is interesting to see how users here complain about Germany, when in Switzerland this practice is common since decades. Rarely heard that in Switzerland a foreigner did something atrocious and when, then, well, the Swiss passport is gone for sure with - often - a ban for years to enter the country. Result: little troubles with foreigners and efforts to from their side to be part of the Swiss society. Considering the fact that Switzerland has more foreigners than Germany, I think this procedure added to the success of Switzerland in terms of migration.
