Denmark has placed a permanent order for Saab’s Giraffe 1X radar systems after using them for more than six months before high-profile summits in Copenhagen.
Seems to me the reality is that he has posted 3 stories about European military among 20 stories for the past 19 hours.
So how does that become all his last stories???
Also European made military equipment is kind of a big issue, now that we are working on becoming independent from USA.
So this kind of stories seem to me to be extremely relevant.
And what story would that be? Definitely not this one, that is about Denmark Choosing European equipment to our defense.
And although not stated directly, the description shows it has several advantages over American systems that makes it more suitable against drones.
The word “chassis” is not even in the article that I can see, so it seems like you are making a straw man argument.
One of the many other defense industry news articles recently posted here.
Look, if you don’t like our moderation here feel free to use one of the many other Europe communities.
We curate the links posted here based on general interest, and defense industry insider news are not that.
So no response to whether news about European military equipment is relevant considering Europe is trying to gain independence.
And no explanation on where “all the posts” came from, when it’s 3 out of 20.
All in all I don’t see you making much of an argument, but is butthurt for anyone disagreeing with you???
Unfortunately Lemmy is a very tiny place, and you are probably very well aware that this is the sub that got the momentum.
Question is then, why are you trying to ruin it in this thread?
Maybe another post was irrelevant, but why didn’t you complain there instead then?
There has been significantly more of such posts in recent weeks 🤷
And posting lobby outlet press releases with zero commentary is discuraged regardless of the actual topic.
And yes, this community got momentum (despite multiple attempts to discredit the moderators here) because we actually curate it, and I plan to continue doing so.
So far this was just a friendly moderator notice to think about what articles to post here. If you want to post defense industry insider news, create a community for it.
Being a moderator is a thankless job without pay so I tend to try to comply with requests as best I can.
I wasn’t asked to stop, just to be a bit more selective, which isn’t unreasonable IMHO.
I appreciate the friendly notice. Like I said, I’m not out to annoy anyone, I just want to make sure that there’s a value to check the Europe community regularly because there are articles there to read. Last year we had around 10k monthly active users, right now we’re down to 5k, I think it might be because of a lack of fresh content, but that might be a wrong assumption. I’ll try to limit the defense industry insider news to fewer than three articles per day. 😜
The reduction of MAU here is IMO mostly due to a large instance defederating from feddit.org and related drama posts that specifically highlighted this community as a reason for defederation.
Disagreements over how to handle posts & comments about the situation in the middle east. This community is just among the most exposed & english speaking communities on Feddit.org thus it has the most conflict potential.
Your last posts were all defense industry insider news that are of little interest for the general public.

News about what specific chassis a new tank design presented by some European arms dealer has are not of general interest 🤷

OK I agree we don’t want to be flooded with it.
That is very understandable and I absolutely agree on that.
Which is appreciated.
BUT I feel like you still evaded my original question, but let’s just leave it here.
Where do you draw the line between ‘lobby outlet’ and ‘trade journal’?
Most trade journal posts would also fall into the not of general interest category.
I’m not out to annoy anyone. Just tell me what rules apply.

This community? The most vanilla community I’ve ever seen. What here could have caused defederation?
Disagreements over how to handle posts & comments about the situation in the middle east. This community is just among the most exposed & english speaking communities on Feddit.org thus it has the most conflict potential.
Yeah, that’ll do it. I keep away from all middle East stuff. Everything related to that situation is lose/lose.
