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 When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title.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 [email protected]. (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: @[email protected], @[email protected], or @[email protected].

Indigenous Crimean Tatar People reject claims of Crimea being part of Russia, call on international community to show solidarity with Ukrainian people struggling for freedom, independence and the right to determine their future freely
... Indigenous Crimean Tatar people of Ukraine say the only legitimate way to end the Russian-Ukrainian war and establish a guaranteed and just peace in the region is the de-occupation of Crimea and other occupied territories of Ukraine and the restoration of the territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders:
The temporarily occupied territory of the Crimean Peninsula as Russian, by whomever and for whatever purpose, will mean:
- a gross violation of the Charter of the United Nations, the Helsinki Final Act, the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, numerous resolutions of the UN General Assembly, and other fundamental norms of international law;
- an attack on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, a sovereign independent state with clearly defined internationally recognized borders, including Crimea and all other temporarily occupied territories;
- contempt and ignoring the inalienable rights of the indigenous Crimean Tatar people, including the right to self-determination and participation in all decision-making processes concerning their native land;
- justification of all crimes committed against the indigenous Crimean Tatar people during the years of colonial enslavement of Crimea by the Russian Empire;
- denial of the act of genocide against the Crimean Tatar people committed by the Soviet regime in 1944;
- encouraging the policy of ethnocide of the Crimean Tatar people, which is being carried out today by the bodies of the Russian occupation authorities, starting from the first day of the temporary occupation of Crimea in 2014, in the form of systemic pressure on the indigenous Crimean Tatar people and repressions against the inhabitants of Crimea – citizens of Ukraine, ethnically and politically motivated persecution of Crimean Tatars, banning the representative body of the indigenous Crimean Tatar people – the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people, religious persecution, Russification and assimilation, destruction of cultural heritage, mass relocation of Russian citizens to the territory of Crimea to change the demographic and ethnic composition of the population of the Crimean peninsula;
- creating a precedent of impunity for the aggressor, when his violation of the internationally recognized borders of a sovereign state and the subsequent legitimization by other countries of the territories occupied by the aggressor will undermine the system of collective security built after World War II and which is based on the principles of peaceful coexistence, sovereign equality and inviolability of state borders, respect for fundamental human rights and freedoms. Such disregard for the norms of international law will send a bad signal to states whose ruling regimes may also resort to the use of force and occupation of the territories of other states, hoping for their further legitimization.
Good.
Nor should they.
Well yeah. Isn’t that like the whole thing? Isn’t this whole fucking thing about that, basically?
