Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.
(This list may get expanded as necessary.)
Posts that link to the following sources will be removed
- on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons), archive:is,ph,today (their JS DDoS websites)
- on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
- on Hungary: Euronews
Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com
(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)
Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the admin that applied the rule (check modlog first to find who was it.)

At least they're no longer getting in the way of supporting Ukraine and the Ukrainian population is also in dire need of humanitarian support and not just bombs.
For now..... I predict this is just the easing of toes into a hot bath. I think as soon as there is any opportunity for him to justify a return to road blocking aid without losing Eu funding he will take it.
Magyar was from the same party as Orban, the only reason he ran against him was because Orban threw his wife under the bus to insulate him from a big scandal. To insulate himself from the scandal Magyar also threw his wife under the same bus, divorcing her, and leaving the party to start his new "oppositional" party.
In reality he's been in lock step with Orban his whole career, happy to ratfuck anyone for political gain up untill he himself got ratfucked.
For now hes getting the benefit of the doubt. But his quick rise despite the Russians officially backing Orban makes me suspicious as well. I wouldn't be surprised if we later learned that Russia just exchanged puppets because the old one was too worn out
Magyar has the same political views as Orbán, which in my opinion is a problem, but he doesn't seem to have the same amount of love for Putin. I rather have one problem then two problems. Guess same goes for the people in Ukraine that need that humanitarian aid. Please do continue to address all the problems though, better that than act all problems magically vanished all of a sudden.
I don't even think Orban really cared about Putin outside as a political tool to garter favour with his political base and to justify his own monopolization of power.
I think if Magyar sees the same opportunity he's going to start spouting the same beliefs. With those types of political actors, it's all about which side can offer them the most political capital, not really about liking anyone as a person, or operating under a political ideology.
