NonCredibleDefense
A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do 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.

Yeah, I blocked the entire Blahaj instance a while ago. I cant think of a single user I have seen from that instance that isn't unsavory. Hopefully things improve soon.
Really? Most folk from Blahaj I've found to be alright.
Yeah, that's been my experience. 99% of any drama coming out of Blahaj that I've seen was just that their admin banned a thing while being polite about it.
Can't imagine why you haven't seen any of the many chill folk from that server
The people I interacted with from that instance before I blocked it were very not chill. Maybe the chill people joined after I blocked the instance.
Of the instances federated with Lemmy.world, the only ones I've formed a negative opinions about are awful.systems and hilariouschaos
Never seen the .ml instances or hexbear?
Hexbear has been defederated for a long time and I don't interact with any .ml users enough
Unless something has changed recently, lemmy.world defederated from hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml, so it's just lemmy.ml of those three that [email protected] would have been talking about.
goes to investigate
Yeah, looks like that remains the case.

Click on the "Blocked instances" tab. I wish that lemmy had a way to link directly to that tab, as I certainly link to it a fair number of times.
Awful.systems banned me immediately and permanently for one (1) detailed but televisable comment going 'oh great, this again.' Some places just want a megaphone to enforce their circlejerk.
I haven't found that to be the case. Probably just an admin power tripping.
Lemmy.dbzer0.com has a community aimed at highlighting this sort of thing, [email protected].
I'm personally not sure that it's actually a great way to deal with unreasonable mod or admin actions -- I'd favor general technical solutions like the spider I mentioned in this thread over having "name and shame" stuff where possible, think that name-and-shame tends to generate conflict. But I suppose that it does help people who might object to such actions, like lemmy.blahaj.zone home instance users in this case, be aware that they are getting a censored view and choose communities and instances accordingly. I mean, I'd want to know myself if my own home instance admin were silently removing content on my instance.
That's my reason for the post, to tell any NCD users who are on Blahaj that their view of our community is being censored.
Yeah...what I'm thinking, though I haven't gone looking, is that the removals may extend beyond NCD content, may be affecting other users who aren't on NCD and won't see the post.
Perhaps, but it was just in regular comments, not admin actions. Maybe I just got unlucky RNG.
While I do not have perspective on your interactions and can't speak for your experiences, blanket labeling everyone in the de facto Fediverse trans-folks instance as "unsavory" isn't really a great look. Sure, every community has assholes. But calling out this particular one with that particular word as a blanket statement is lumping you in with a lot of people you may not want to be associated with.
