Rules (2024-08-30)

  1. 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.
  2. 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 When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title.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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.)
  10. 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

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 admin that applied the rule (check modlog first to find who was it.)

Alvise Pérez

Pursuant to Rules 10 and 183 of the Rules of Procedure and to the Bureau decision on the rules governing access to and attendance in the Chamber and the conduct of debates, and after taking into account the observations of the Member concerned, the President had decided to impose a penalty on Alvise Pérez for having recorded during a plenary session an interaction between a Member of the European Parliament and a member of the administration without their consent, and having subsequently disseminated the video on the social media accounts of his political party, along with derogatory comments.

His behaviour had harmed Parliament’s reputation and the principle of mutual respect among Members.

Leila Chaibi

Pursuant to Rules 10 and 183 of the Rules of Procedure and to the Bureau decision on the rules governing access to and attendance in the Chamber and the conduct of debates, and after taking into account the observations of the Member concerned, the President had decided to impose a penalty on Leila Chaibi for having recorded herself and made inappropriate gestures during the speech by His Majesty King Felipe VI, King of Spain, during the formal sitting to mark the 40th anniversary of the accession of Spain and Portugal to the European Union. The video had subsequently been disseminated on her social media accounts.

Her behaviour had harmed Parliament’s reputation and the principle of mutual respect in Parliament, in particular with regard to the President as the host of invited dignitaries.

Rima Hassan

Pursuant to Rules 10 and 183 of the Rules of Procedure and to the Bureau decision on the rules governing access to and attendance in the Chamber and the conduct of debates, and after taking into account the observations of the Member concerned, the President had decided to impose a penalty on Rima Hassan for having recorded during a plenary session a Member of the European Parliament without his consent, and having subsequently disseminated the video on her social media accounts, accompanied by a personal comment.

Her behaviour had harmed Parliament’s reputation and the principle of mutual respect among Members.

As a Spaniard, I tell you, Alvise Perez is an ultra-right-wing influencer like any of Trump's craziest supporters. It's a disgrace to the country that he's managed to fool enough idiots to get into the European Parliament. Sorry.
