A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo 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 and 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. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

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 ‘western’ 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. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat 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.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

The community is currently refederated with the blahaj instance. Going forward issues like this are to be addressed at first in a less public way if possible...

There is no reason for our communities to have a beef we both basically advocate for the same things in our own way.

For transparency I unremoved all the removed comments with one exception in the other thread and locked it... 🍿 I also removed any bans that resulted from that thread.

Ada pretty much fully explained the original issue:

Blahaj zone admin here. There’s quite a bit of confusion and misunderstanding in this thread.

No one is “selectively removing NCD content” or anything close to it.

What happened is that 6 months ago, CDRMITTENS was instance banned from lemmy.blahaj.zone over an anti Palestinian meme they posted. You can see the mod log for that here https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/modlog?postId=11419938. This meme conflated Hamas and Palestinians in general, and basically blamed Palestinians for their own genocide. Notably, the post also broke NCD rules 2 and 5, but wasn’t removed by NCD mods.

As a result of CDRMITTENS being instance banned, none of their content reaches lemmy.blahaj.zone anymore. You can see that for yourself here https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/u/[email protected], which shows that no content from this user has reached blahaj.zone. There was no selective removal or editing of content at play, because none of their content reached blahaj.zone to be able to selectively remove it.

tl;dr - It’s just an instance ban, not selective moderation


So let's all be friendly again. 🥹👉👈 On a final note Estiar and neidu have been added to the mod team.

And sharks. Don't forget the sharks.

We should put lasers on the sharks.

Thanks for making it possible to continue enjoying these most lauded Military Savants from my chosen instance!

Do I still get banned for the pager joke?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 15 hours ago

If you are banned from blahaj (or any other instance) your posts here will not federate on that instance. The refederation applies to the community not individual users or CDRMITTENS. That would need to be addressed by them with the other Lemmy instances admin team.

So to be clear if you use blahaj to view ncd you will still not see posts by CDRMITTENS until he appeals his ban with them.

Talking with ada this seemed to be a poorly handled miscommunication. Ada and her mod team are not selectively removing our content but they have banned some of our more active posters and this is the source of the original drama.

Thanks for clearing things up. I never quite got what the percieved drama was about.

EDIT: Also, gotta appreciate the fact that NCD reached out and for once found a nonvoilent solution for peace.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 18 hours ago

+1. Definitely some nuance going on here I wasn’t aware of.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 21 hours ago

nonvoilent Most credible solution!

[–] [email protected] 38 points 23 hours ago

Kudos for honourably backtracking and being reasonable. Mistakes are made, what matters is how they're dealt with.
