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.

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 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 & 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.

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.

>no politics

>entire community exists basically to shit on Russian politics

To clarify: I'm all for shitting on Russian politics, but pretending that NCD is or can be apolitical is dumb. Let's not be a Reddit clone.

Also:

I think we're trying to avoid shit like "as a liberal, i think your conservative opinion is dumb and stuff" posts.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

As if liberals or conservatives are even on Lemmy. We all know everyone here is a gay trans commie.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There are a shit ton of communists on here. Sorry for the bad news.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think that's good news actually.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Depends on the flavor of commie

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Absolutely.

no politics

there was a dude (gender-neutral) out there sprouting z-content and claiming that everone who doesn't agree with them is right-winger, preemptively also "if x/x party was elected nothing of that would happen" gets boring and repetitive pretty quickly and above all doesn't belong here

i guess that shitting on russian politics is okay if ICC agrees with you, we're not discussing here russian railway subsidies or retirement bonuses. international relations, geopolitics, what have you cross into defence pretty naturally. explaining relevant politics is fine, especially if the matter is relatively unknown in the west (bulk of users)

You've run into your first hexbear user I see.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

nope, that one was from sh.itjust.works

hexbears seem positively chill by comparison, and i haven't seen a single one there anyway

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] floatingcloudsoverdawnskies 6 points 1 year ago

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.
