and these rules are in sidebar. basically it’s 1:1 of what rules on r/ncd used to be, taking into account smaller size and lack of flairs. in case you can’t read them in sidebar (because for example you’re using app that has it broken) these rules are as follows:

1. Be nice

Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles & takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a “credible” source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it’s non-credible. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don’t care if you’re Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don’t want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified information is off limits regardless of how “open source” and “easy to find” it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody’s art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art’s source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread instead.

10. Don't get us banned.

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a “haha people that I hate died… haha” punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

      I haven’t seen a hexbear shitting in the woods or the comments. At least not beyond saying Israel must be destroyed and the Palestinian conflict will be resolved peacefully if they disband their military.

      Which is nonsense, because everyone with reason knows that can only be solved by the ritual sacrifice of the people most at fault for it, the British Royal Family.

        Well, I have. Some have said that anyone who isn’t a Communist is a fascist and needs to die, but in a longer format.

      You’re lucky. They have been brigading the bigger Lemmy instances, downvoting anyone who opposes them. I saw them do it with my own eyes. I wish all of the major instances would band together and just defederate from them and Lemmygrad; it would stop them from causing the trouble they do.
