In the interest of moderation transparency, we've had a couple of reports about this post.

Here's my thinking about it:

Community purpose

• This post is more political that would ordinarily be seen on AskLemmy, ⬇️
• it is an open-ended thought provoking question, ⬆️
• it is generating healthy and informative discussion and debate. ⬆️

Rule 1:

• the post is not trolling, sealioning, racist or toxic, ⬆️
• the topic is contentious but seems to be worded politely, ⬆️
• the author has voluntarily amended the question to be more sensitive in their framing. ⬆️

Rule 3:

• it does not fit the definition of spam or astroturfing ⬆️

On balance, I'm going to let the post remain up.

Color me shocked.

It’s a Portmanteaux of Lemmy and humans.

Rule 5. Support/Lemmy meta question. Locking.

Support question. Please post in !support. Locking.

It's 4 days late, but I'll wade in.

It's possible to express an opinion without being an asshole about it. That's what Rule 1 is about. Not censorship.

I don't like (factual) Y about country X. <- Doesn't breach Rule 1.

The people in country X are all shit stains <- Breaches Rule 1.

Diplomatic honesty is fine (at least with me).
What isn't fine are:

• Personal attacks,
• Doxxing, trolling, sealioning,
• attacks on whole groups of people because of:
  • stereotypical characteristics.
  • ingroup-outgroup bias,
  • readily disprovable dis/misinformation.

In summary, respectful debate is welcome. Nastiness is not.

Remember Rule 1 people.

Woah, woah, woah. Let's not get too carried way here. Some things we just shouldn't talk about.

Beards, not mullets!

We'll I'll agree that it's better than c:/user/home/technicallythetruth/

Let's start with the second part of your question? How do you make someone understand that invading another country is not a good thing?

The Washington Post estimated that during his presidency, Trump made more than 30,000 false or misleading statements.
