Other 196's:
Europe community on dbzer0. Intended to be a place to discuss European news, politics, or just general topics from a European perspective. Since this is on dbzer0 expect the community to lean more leftist-anarchist but a wide range of views are accepted here (within reason).
Rules:
1. No Bigotry or Hate Speech
Any forms of Homophobia, Transphobia, Queerphobia, Racism, or Ableism will be met with swift and harsh action and will not be tolerated here whatsoever. Bigots will be banned immediately on-sight. This includes apologia of it.
Trying to be politely or intellectually bigoted i.e. "Just asking questions" won't be tolerated.
2. No Zionism
Any forms of Zionism or Zionist rhetoric will not be tolerated here, this includes Zionist apologia, accusations of antisemitism towards anti-Zionists, or blatant denial or downplaying of the genocide towards Palestinians. Any attempt to uphold or prop up the IHRA definition of antisemitism, will be treated as Zionism.
Anyone engaging in Pro-Zionist sentiment or apologia will be actioned in accordance with its severity.
Note: Trying to find loopholes or whataboutery to see what is or isn't genocide denial or Zionism will be treated as a violation of this rule. Don't test us.
3. Stay Civil
Please maintain civil discourse in the community. Do not engage in arguments with others, name-calling, or insults. Note that calling out bigotry or Zionism is not considered an insult. In heated arguments users are encouraged to or even required to disengage failure to do so will result in mod action.
4. No Misinformation
Spreading of misinformation intentionally in this community is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Spreading misinformation hurts the credibility of the community and can mislead people sometimes in dangerous ways. Users who intentionally post misinformation as articles, comment answers, or in attempt to win arguments will be actioned swiftly.
Note: This includes Russian and Chinese propaganda. Users with a history of such posting will be banned on sight.
5. No AI Content
Please do not post articles or content primarily created using generative AI. Generative AI content may contain misinformation or be lower quality and thus is discouraged. Posts and comments featuring it will be removed. However this community does not allow or tolerate Anti-AI trolling or hostility and users who engage in such behavior will be actioned for it, additionally Anti-AI trolling violates Rule 3 and often Rule 4 so it is generally unacceptable already.
Note: Rules 1 & 2 may be subject to preemptive mod action due to their severity, and they apply to a user's entire post history. Not just this community.
"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
Welcome to MoG!
Meanwhile On Grad
Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.
Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

A supportive, loving community run by and for LGBTQ+ people and their allies.
Feel free to discuss anything related to LGBTQ+ issues, and remember that despite everything, we all very literally are in this together.
Rules:
Kindness Always
No name-calling, trolling, ad-homs, personal attacks, strawmanning, or disrespectful or abusive behavior toward any other member.
No Bigotry
This should go without saying, but any homophobia, transphobia, racism/sexism/any kind of -ism is not allowed. “It’s just a joke” is not an excuse. Any sort of needling to try to convince the mods or anyone else to accept such behavior is not acceptable either.
No Spam, NSFW, Or Other Disruptive Content or Behavior
Please respect our community and don’t use it to post spam, porn, gore, or any other disruptive content.
Please Tag All Discussions About The Sub with [Meta]
Any meta threads or discussions, suggestions, etc. needs to be tagged with [Meta] in the title, that way it’ll be easier for mods to find. If you have any issues with another member or what-have-you, please message a mod.
Hateful People or Members of Hate Groups Not Allowed
No Nazis, fascists, anti-LGBTQ+ folks, or any member of any groups predisposed to discriminate against or cause trouble for LGBTQ+ people or the community. This includes members of the U.S. right wing. We care about the safety and well-being of our community and that means we won’t allow anyone who will threaten or endanger LGBTQ+ people in the sub, and sadly, the U.S. political situation has become volatile enough where a ban of this caliber has become necessary.
Please Tag Titles Of Sensitive Posts With [TW] or [CW]
Please put one of those tags on any post talking about rape, suicide, or self-harm.
English Only Please
Posts and comments must be in English only so they can be properly moderated.
Note: failure to abide by the rules may result in a ban depending on severity.
Rules subject to change based on community need.
