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

      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.

              OK I agree we don’t want to be flooded with it.

              And posting lobby outlet press releases with zero commentary is discuraged regardless of the actual topic.

              That is very understandable and I absolutely agree on that.

              because we actually curate it, and I plan to continue doing so.

              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 sure if I’d agree. An article published in a trade journal (‘Fachzeitschrift’) about the results of a climate change study or renewable energy could also very well be of general interest for the public in Europe, don’t you think?
