Misogyny, racism, and bigotry of any sort is not allowed here.
This is a LGTBQ+ inclusive community.
Like nonbinary gender, dominant and submissive traits run as a spectrum. Some men are more submissive than others, just as some women more dominant. And the other way around. Let’s be respectful of the many ways people exist and love.
This is a safe space for kinksters of all kinds. No trolling. Be respectful of others. Treat people here as you would in real life. Let’s encourage community involvement and helpful discourse!
Unproductive or negative comments that spoil the fun for others will be removed. Rude or cruel comments directed at creators will be removed and the user banned.

Anarchism

@anarchism@lemmy.ml

Are you an Anarchist? The answer might surprise you!

Rules:

Be respectful
Don’t be a nazi
Argue about the point and not the person
This is not the place to debate the merits of anarchism itself. While discussion is encouraged, getting in your “epic dunks on the anarkiddies” is not. As a result of the instance’s poor moderation policies and hostility toward anarchists by default, lemmygrad users are encouraged not to post here, though not explicitly disallowed if they aren’t just looking to start a fight.

An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the “ML” influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.

Serious posts, news, and discussion go in c/Socialism.

If you are new to socialism, you can ask questions and find resources over on c/Socialism101.

Please don’t forget to help keep this community clean by reporting rule violations, upvoting good contributions and downvoting those of low-quality!

Rules

0. Only post socialist memesThat refers to funny image macros and means that generally videos and screenshots are not allowed. Exceptions include explicitly humorous and short videos, as well as (social media) screenshots depicting a funny situation, joke, or joke picture relating to socialist movements, theory, societal issues, or political opponents. Examples would be the classic case of humorous Tumblr or Twitter posts/threads. (and no, agitprop text does not count as a meme)

1. Socialist Unity in the form of mutual respect and good faith interactions is enforced hereTry to keep an open mind, other schools of thought may offer points of view and analyses you haven’t considered yet. Also: This is not a place for the Idealism vs. Materialism or rather Anarchism vs. Marxism debate(s), for that please visit c/AnarchismVsMarxism.

2. Anti-Imperialism means recognizing capitalist states like Russia and China as such, as well as condemning (their) imperialism, even if it is of the “anti-USA” flavor.

**3. No liberalism, (right-wing) revisionism or reactionaries.**That includes so called: Social Democracy, Democratic Socialism, Dengism, Market Socialism, Patriotic Socialism, National Bolshevism, Anarcho-Capitalism etc. . Anti-Socialist people and content have no place here, as well as the variety of “Marxist”-“Leninists” seen on lemmygrad and more specifically GenZedong (actual ML’s are welcome as long as they agree to the rules and don’t just copy paste/larp about stuff from a hundred years ago).

**4. No Bigotry.**The only dangerous minority is the rich.

**5. Don’t demonize previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.**We must constructively learn from their mistakes, while acknowledging their achievements and recognizing when they have strayed away from socialist principles.

**6. Don’t idolize/glorify previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.**Notable achievements in all spheres of society were made by various socialist/people’s/democratic republics around the world. Mistakes, however, were made as well: bureaucratic castes of parasitic elites - as well as reactionary cults of personality - were established, many things were mismanaged and prejudice and bigotry sometimes replaced internationalism and progressiveness.

7. Absolutely no posts or comments meant to relativize(/apologize for), advocate, promote or defend:

Racism
Sexism
Queerphobia
Ableism
Classism
Rape or assault
Genocide/ethnic cleansing or (mass) deportations
Fascism
(National) chauvinism
Orientalism
Colonialism or Imperialism (and their neo- counterparts)
Zionism
Religious fundamentalism of any kind

(This is not a definitive list, the spirit of the other rules still counts! Eventual duplicates with other rules are for emphasis.)

Community Rules

Must be a wholesome meme All posts must be wholesome memes: uplifting, life-affirming, or nice-ing up a rude meme. Photos or screenshots without superimposed text, as well as social media posts, are not memes.
Be general, not specific Memes should be relatable, with universally uplifting themes. Avoid posts that promote an ideology, religion, or brand over others, & posts that show individuals’ politeness without some universal theme. Memes about controversial themes, people, and/or institutions are not allowed either.
No NSFW content Please avoid submitting NSFW content. PG-13 is fine, but please tag those “NSFW” for young or sensitive users.
No trolling, harassing, or general rudeness Please no trolling, harassment, rudeness, or behaviour unbecoming of the wholesome users we know you to be. Keep comments civil and be respectful of your fellow users. Be nice. This is a happy place. No proselytizing. Keep your religion, your politics, your diet, and any other crusade you might carry to yourself. We come here to get away from arguing and politics and the like, so please respect that by keeping your agendas to yourself.
No personal info or private communication Please do not post personal info, yours or others. All names should be blocked out, except public figures. Also, private communication & private posts are private; please don’t post them here.
Post must link to image directly. Please link to images directly. This makes browsing easier for those using RES or through a mobile device
Low Effort Meme Please do not submit low effort memes or mention upvotes in your post.

This includes “Let’s get this to the front page!” type posts, “You have been visited by”, “people who sort by new”, “stop scrolling”, Low effort memes include: Skyrim “Wholesome 100”, “You’re Breathtaking”, Thanos “That does put a smile on my face”, [happiness noises], Fallout [Everybody liked that], and “Because that’s what heroes do”. This isn’t an exhaustive list, but I think you get the idea!

No reposts Avoid posting memes that have already been posted to this sub. Fresh content is vital. We may allow a repost at our discretion, if it has not already been a frontpage post, and if it has been over 6 months since it was last posted here. Do not spam or post more than 3 memes in a 24 hour period.
Please make an effort with your title Set your post up for success. “Does this fit here?” helps nobody. Being funny or descriptive helps. And trying is good.

traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

@traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns@lemmy.ca

Rules

1.) No bigotry of any kind, and don’t be a jerk either

• Bigotry includes but is not limited to: ableism, casteism, homophobia, lookism, queerphobia, racism, sexism, transphobia, and xenophobia. Bigotry towards non-binary people is transphobia. Truscum rhetoric is also bigotry. You getting punished for your hateful opinion, however, is not bigotry.

2.) No Spam

• This includes both advertising and breaking your or my Lemmy instance’s rules, such as vote manipulation or brigading.

3.) Posts must have something to do with being trans, or about trans experiences

• Try to stay away from negative political events too. You can joke about it, but bringing attention to something bad happening in the world might take someone out of their comfort zone— this is an escape from the constant news cycle for some.

4.) No Selfies or Character Creations

• Selfies are not memes! This is not a community for selfies. Picrews and other character creations such as Sims and Mii’s are considered bandwagoning, and perhaps can be a part of a different community.

5.) SFW-only

• This is an all ages community, so we prefer it if you take the NSFW stuff to one of the more adult oriented communities. Note: nudity is not allowed, we want everybody to be comfortable here.

6.) Submissions must be a meme or they will be removed

7.) Swearing is fine, but slurs are not

• We want everybody to feel safe and comfortable here, so even if you want to reclaim a pejorative word that applies to you— we ask that you don’t, as this is a light-hearted community and others stumbling across your post might feel unsafe.

8.) Embedded submissions should only link to trusted image sharing sites, no IP grabbers or link shorteners

9.) Use but don’t misuse the report button

• If something breaks these rules, or this Lemmy instance’s rules, please report it.

10.) Please do not link to any terf, racist, or any other hate communities or forums

• Bigots like those do not deserve any attention. Any post or comment linking to a hate community or forum will be removed

11.) Don’t be a jerk nor a troll

• Be nice, and don’t create social chaos. That’s it. Pretty simple, huh?

Some notes:

1.) We highly encourage you to use alt text in your posts, so everybody can enjoy this community

2.) It would be really nice if you flaired your posts accordingly in the title

• For example, a meme about the non-binary experience could have a title like this: “[NB] Story of my life!” This will make searching for content much easier.

3.) Don’t break the law

• This includes the country you live in as well as the country your instance is hosted in

Sibling forums:

!egg_irl

• Trans memes specifically about being closeted, unaware or in denial

!196

• Ordinary memes, but the community is very trans-accepting— and it only has one rule: when you encounter the page you must post a meme from your camera roll

Reclaimed By Nature

@reclaimedbynature@lemmy.world

A community dedicated to examples of nature fighting back and reclaiming aspects of human civilization. Be it whole buildings, simple structures, or smaller items.

Rules:

Post only content that features nature overcoming man and man-made objects. Original content is especially welcomed.
Please use mainstream webhosting sites (Imgur, Flickr, Youtube, Vimeo etc).
Please try and give credit to the original photographer and Original Poster when possible.
Reposts are fine, as not everyone spends all day on Lemmy. However, please do a quick search and make sure the content hasn’t been posted recently.
Be civil and hold yourself to the site wide etiquette. No bullying or harassing. If you have a problem with a post or comment, please report it, tick the ‘other’ box and cite the rule break in the comment section or send a modmail.

UK Politics

@uk_politics@feddit.uk

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don’t post to both !uk_politics and !unitedkingdom .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

!ukpolitics appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

THE POLICE PROBLEM

@thepoliceproblem@lemmy.world

The police problem is that police are policed by the police. Cops are accountable only to other cops, which is no accountability at all.

99.9999% of police brutality, corruption, and misconduct is never investigated, never punished, never makes the news, so it’s not on this page.

When cops are caught breaking the law, they’re investigated by other cops. Details are kept quiet, the officers’ names are withheld from public knowledge, and what info is eventually released is only what police choose to release — often nothing at all.

When police are fired — which is all too rare — they leave with ‘law enforcement experience’ and can easily find work in another police department nearby. It’s called “Wandering Cops.”

When police testify under oath, they lie so frequently that cops themselves have a joking term for it: “testilying.” Yet it’s almost unheard of for police to be punished or prosecuted for perjury.

Cops can and do get away with lawlessness, because cops protect other cops. If they don’t, they aren’t cops for long.

The legal doctrine of “qualified immunity” renders police officers invulnerable to lawsuits for almost anything they do. In practice, getting past ‘qualified immunity’ is so unlikely, it makes headlines when it happens.

All this is a path to a police state.

In a free society, police must always be under serious and skeptical public oversight, with non-cops and non-cronies in charge, issuing genuine punishment when warranted.

Police who break the law must be prosecuted like anyone else, promptly fired if guilty, and barred from ever working in law-enforcement again.

That’s the solution.

♦ ♦ ♦

Our definition of ‘cops’ is broad, and includes prison guards, probation officers, shitty DAs and judges, etc — anyone who has the authority to fuck over people’s lives, with minimal or no oversight.

♦ ♦ ♦

RULES

① Real-life decorum is expected. Please don’t say things only a child or a jackass would say in person.

② If you’re here to support the police, you’re trolling. Please exercise your right to remain silent.

③ Saying cops ANYONE should be killed lowers the IQ in any conversation. They’re about killing people; we’re not.

④ Please don’t dox or post calls for harassment, vigilantism, tar & feather attacks, etc.

Please also abide by the instance rules.

It you’ve been banned but don’t know why, check the moderator’s log. If you feel you didn’t deserve it, hey, I’m new at this and maybe you’re right. Send a cordial PM, for a second chance.

READ THE RULES

Targeting of any country, person or nation is strictly prohibited without valid reasoning. Evidence if not presented against the specific company/corporation/individual will be treated as personal attack and/or hate speech. This will result in a warning, then ban system.
NO PERMA BANS! Ban system will work as follows:

1 day --> 3 day --> 1 week --> 2 weeks --> 3 weeks --> 1 month --> 3 months --> 6 months

Severity of the ban system will be dealt with based on degree of violation and circumstances.

NO FACT-LESS EVIDENCES, NO FALSE RHETORIC Evidence has to be credible. The onus of this lies on the claimant. The same applies on the user who questions proven evidence. Violation of this rule will be dealt with strictly.

Welcome to !astrophotography!

We are Lemmy’s dedicated astrophotography community!

If you want to see or post pictures of space taken by amateurs using amateur level equipment, this is the place for you!

If you want to learn more about taking astro photos, check out our wiki or our discord!

Please read the rules before you post! It is your responsibility to be aware of current rules. Failure to be aware of current rules may result in your post being removed without warning at moderator discretion.

Rules

I | Real space images only.
Astrophotography refers to images of astronomical objects or phenomena exclusively.
Images that show objects or people below the Kármán Line (100km) will be removed. (equipment posts or photos where the photographer themselves is above the Kármán Line are allowed)
Images must be an accurate representation of a real astronomical object.
See this page for more details

II | Original and Amateur Content Only
Image posts can only be images that you have captured and processed yourself, or discussion about capturing and/or processing your own images.
Images acquired from public sources, professional observatories, or other professional services are not allowed.
If you have done a drastic alteration or reprocessing of a prior submission, you may repost your edit - but only after a minimum of one week has passed.

III | Post Types
Image posts are to link directly to the image, not to landing pages, personal galleries, blogs, or professional sites. Link to these in the comments. (AstroBin and Imgur, are allowed)
Questions are welcome here for the time being.
Links to blogs, articles or external websites should be interesting and promote discussion about amateur astrophotography.

IV | Titles
All image posts should just include include the name of the object being photographed. Extra info such as equipment, it being your first image, or other information should go in a comment along with your acquisition info. Please see this page for more details.

If your post is removed, try reposting with a different title. Don’t hesitate to message the mods if you still have questions!

V | Acquisition and Processing Information
All submitted images must include acquisition and processing details as a top-level comment. All posts without this information may be given a warning, and if not updated will be removed.
This includes the telescope, mount, camera, accessories, and any other pieces of equipment you used to capture the image.
You must also include processing details, i.e. the programs you used and a general rundown of the workflow/processes you used within those programs. “Processed in Photoshop” is not enough.
