Mainly on @Aatube@kbin.melroy.org . 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.

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 (@sga013@lemmy.world, @NickwithaC@lemmy.world, 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.
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 .
This is a content farm/copy of a copy (rule c)1), but I won’t remove this due to the immense momentum this post has. Additionally, the linked ScienceDirect paper appears unrelated.
Instead, I’d recommend one of the following high-quality sources:
https://advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/aenm.202506734 (paywalled but has abstract, and your local library may have access) —thanks SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca!
Your submission in “At Long Last, InfoWars Is Ours” was removed for schadenfreude (rule a)1). Try !politicaloptimism@piefed.social.
Your submission has been removed as toxic politics/not uplifting (rules b), a)).

- TEMPLATE WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO ACTUALLY STOP DOING MATH
- YEARS OF SNOWCLONING yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for “greaphic desgni is my PASSION:”
- Wanted to play satire straight anyways for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called “FORREST GUMP”
- “Yes please give me pictures of BAD TEXT on backgrounds. Please give me BADDIES of it” - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged
LOOK at what Memers have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the imgurs & reddits we built for them:
STOP DOING ‘STOP DOING “STOP DOING MATH” BUT ACTUALLY WANTING TO STOP THE DOING’ SINCE IT WANTS TO STOP THE DOING
They have played us for absolute fools

one moderator of !UpliftingNews@lemmy.world here! is it fine if i make a post (and maybe even edit into the itemized-rules post) directing schadenfreuders to your commag?
Your submission in “A bill that would give legal immunity to pesticide companies such as Bayer, the owner of Roundup, was defeated in Tennessee” was removed as schadenfreude (rule a)1).
I would’ve removed this post if I saw it earlier. It’s an interesting article (that surprisingly hasn’t been posted anywhere else yet) but it documents another problem in our society, not any sort of progress or resolution. I would remove, say, “The fight to release the double-tap boat strike video” even if we didn’t have the toxic politics rule.
pinging some of the other mods for their thoughts: @NickwithaC@lemmy.world, @sga@piefed.social, @wolfeh@lemmy.world
I think the uplifting part of this is supposed to be that more people are going for more non-perishable foods that’d last longer and give families more means to survive than measly plastic-wrapped bars. It’s… a stretch, but I don’t think we should remove it. Feel free to downvote the post if you don’t think it’s a good fit for our commag.
Removed: I don’t see how this is supposed to be uplifting
Your submission in “US news outlets refuse to sign new Pentagon rules to report only official information” was removed as schadenfreude or toxic politics .
I am once once again asking for your bars—what should be the bar/criteria for removal?
I think we should ask for and respect the decision of the community instead of imposing our own judgements. And of course, we still remove personal attacks (not that your admittedly negative-ish comment counted as one /gen).
Would you kindly remove
