5 days agoIn line with our rules against bad copies, could you replace the link with one to the original The Independent post?
Mainly on @[email protected] . This account to moderate subs while providing actual reasons for deletion! A feature mbin appears to lack?
If you see me commenting in random places, I’m logged into the wrong account. Lemmy.world has pretty problematic leadership; see the Jordanlund fiasco.

Your submission in “Occupation army faces reserve troop, tank shortages” was removed as schadenfreude, war is not uplifting (rule a)).
Your submission in ““F COLLINS!” Hundreds march to Senator Collins Office in Portland Maine” was removed as toxic politics (rule b)).
Your submission in “Veterans challenge 4th of July lies” was removed as toxic politics (rule b)).
Your submission in “United Soccer League Announces USL Premier, New Interconnected Men’s Professional Structure” was removed as not uplifting (as far as I can tell as a non-USL guy).
Your submission in “Almost Half of US Data Centers That Were Supposed to Open This Year Slated to Be Canceled or Delayed” was removed as too borderline schadenfreude and old.
Would you kindly remove
/ampfrom the link? It is forcing upon us a mobile version of the site.
Your submission in “3 Founding Fathers died on July 4th” was removed as not uplifting (rule a)).
To pre-empt possible reports: This is plausibly uplifting, and it’s the votes that represent how we respond to this news. With these downvotes I doubt it’d show up in any feed, and that should be enough.
The linked article is an inferior but true copy of https://environment.ec.europa.eu/news/new-eu-rules-stop-destruction-unsold-clothes-and-shoes-2026-02-09_en , an EU press release with the same headline and, as far as I can tell, true.
sounds like we should get off telegram! (or at least the official client?)
WebP is a pretty awesome format with awesome compression, both lossless and lossy. It’s only behind JXL which is not widely adopted.
Opening a little reply chain here for the active mods (@[email protected], @[email protected], and I) to discuss whether this violates rule a), “Posts must be uplifting”. I think a pretty good argument can be made here that it is uplifting and the article presents this argument. Since the contention isn’t whether this is schadenfreude (commenters don’t seem to think so) but whether this is good, I believe the upvoters also agree this is uplifting.
Your submission to upliftingnews was removed as unfortunately already posted.
This is an opinion article written by an author of the subject covered by the news article https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jun/04/world-inequality-lab-equality-academics-planetary-survival .
I think it’s debatable enough (c.f. the top comment) that we leave it to the votes.
Your reply in “Hawaii just entirely removed corporations’ power to spend money in politics. This could be a game changer for US democracy.” was removed as personal attacks (rule d)2). Please don’t chase such ego-matching lines of conversation under upliftingnews.

Your submission in “Children are drawing moustaches on their faces to fool online age checks - and it’s working; fake birthdays, borrowed IDs, and creative facial hair bypass age checks” was removed as very wholesome, but unfortunately not uplifting (somewhat schadenfreude, rule a)1). Check out [email protected]!
