What is a ruin? We’re running off of “You know it when you see it” at the moment. Ruins should be non-functioning structures of some age, or their function reduced to tourism and the like. Generally speaking, specific items from a ruin should go to !historyartifacts@lemmy.world Illustrations of ruins (or their reconstructions) should go to !historyillustrations@lemmy.world Photos of ruins back when they were functioning should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world

For photos of beautiful, still-inhabited locales! It can be a quick snapshot of your local town, a breathtaking pro photo of a city, or a pic of some fascinating piece of modern life.

The only real rule is that it must be an actively inhabited/used location (ie not ruins or natural locales). Otherwise, go wild. Anything that you find beautiful or interesting!

I added some rudimentary support for popular communities from Piefed and Mbin instances. Lemmy is still so much more popular, right now, that you'll still see almost all Lemmy communities. But, as of today, if instances from other software aren't showing up in the !communities@ponder.cat feed, it's not because of me. They're on the list now.

A trickier issue is that some communities are coming up to be posted that in my opinion are troll communities:

• https://lemmygrad.ml/c/funny
• https://lemmygrad.ml/c/agitprop
• https://lemmy.world/c/onlytwitter

I'm not defederated from hexbear or lemmygrad right now, simply because they haven't done anything to me. I quite like the !art@hexbear.net community, as a matter of fact. They're defederated in most places not for no reason, however, and I think excluding them from the new community posts will better serve ~100% of the people reading this community.

The whole thing, the trolling on one side and the defederation on the other, bugs me. On the off chance that someone has an issue with not posting things from lemmygrad, I'll extend the same offer to you that I extended to someone that I gave an individual ban to some time back: Come and talk rationally about what you're trying to say in these "controversial" communities, defend your point of view in a real discussion, and you can stay. I'm not defederated from anybody right now. If you're just interested in a one-way exchange, though, knowing that people disagree with you and consequently increasing your volume and aggressiveness and ignoring anything anyone else thinks, people are going to hit the mute button. I can't see how you would be surprised by that. We can use the slot to post !artdesign@jlai.lu instead and everyone will be happier, I think.

The last community is more interesting. To me, this is also clearly a troll community, and I don't want to give it airtime. It makes some attempt at showing a legit political viewpoint, but the veneer over the steady single-user stream of anti-Ukraine or pro-spoiler-candidate content is laughably thin. There are a few more of these on lemmy.world, which is its own whole separate discussion. Regardless, I don't plan to include this community or any of the others. I'll make the same offer, that if someone wants to demonstrate good faith by having a real discussion about these topics, I'll welcome it and won't try to silence you. But bottom line, this looks like propaganda, and removing it looks like good stewardship.

I'm not sure if anyone cares about these things to this extent of hand-wringing, but that's what I think about it.

Pointing out, fighting, spreading awareness about State sponsored and Company sponsored astroturfing on Lemmy and elsewhere. This includes social media manipulation, propaganda, and disinformation campaigns, among others.

!astroturfing@lemmy.world

Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.

!newjerseycannabis@lemmy.world

A community for historical propaganda, in image or video form. Subtitled videos and images are allowed.

What is Propaganda?

Propaganda is the deliberate dissemination of information, ideas, or narratives aimed at influencing public opinion or behavior, often to promote a particular political, social, or ideological agenda. It can take many forms, including speeches, media, art, or advertising. While propaganda is commonly associated with manipulation or bias, it can be either good or bad depending on the intent and content. Positive propaganda may be used to raise awareness about important social causes or encourage beneficial public behaviours, while negative propaganda often involves misleading or deceptive tactics to manipulate beliefs for harmful purposes.

Bigotry

While propaganda may contain bigotry, we require that the only reason one posts it here is because of historical interest. Any intent of Bigotry from posters or commenters will be immediately banned!

Welcome to NoSafetySmokingFirst!

For images where the text reads correctly left to right, but visual cues (like colouration, vertical proximity, or horizontal separation) lead you to try to read it top to bottom.

This is similar to, but distinct from, the more widely known “DontDeadOpenInside” format. In that case, the text reads correctly top to bottom, but visual cues (like colouration, horizontal proximity, or vertical separation) lead you to try to read it left to right.

The post that started it all:

NO | SMOKING
