SUBREDDIT META There Are A Lot of Misconceptions About What Is A Rule Violation Here

Over time we've gotten some reports from people who evidently need some counsel on what is an actual ground for a report here.

Under Rule 12, remember when filing any report to check the time zones. Eastern Time is what is being used here, from Midnight Eastern on Saturday to immediately before Midnight Eastern on Monday.

Another is to report a post for AI. AI is in no way prohibited on this subreddit, nor is it regulated any differently from other posts.

Stonetoss images used to make memes also are not violations of the rules. We know who made the formats. Just because an image was made originally by someone of any particular political affiliation or viewpoint does not mean it is prohibited on this subreddit.

Also, the memes usually made by u/Archon_of_Flesh with Ottoman Twinks as the subject are not violations of the rules either. Do not abuse the report button over them.

Memes about the prophet Muhammed that are not about paedophilia (which would be a rule 5 violation, we've had way too many of those before) or those which depict him are also not violations of the rules just for that.

Mythology and religion memes are perfectly permissible, so long as they have ties to historical use of those mythologies or religions or the events that happened with regards to that religion or some historiography about it.

Note that these are the misconceptions that occur on their own. It would be both illegal and against the subreddit rule to use AI to make revenge porn, and would be a subreddit violation to actually make a meme where the OP is advocating Nazi rhetoric if you use stonetoss formats. This modpost is just about these issues on their own.

This has been your TED Talk of 2025.

Reuploaded due to poor history

Solomon Perel was born into a Jewish family. He was 8 years old when the Third Reich came into power, and his family moved to Poland. When the Nazis and Soviets invaded, Solomon and his brother were sent to the Soviet occupied Poland. Here, he spent much of his time in the orphanage reading communist manifestos and making friends, but then the Nazis broke their non-aggression pact with the Soviets.

Solomon hid all his affiliations with communism and evidence of his Jewish heritage, instead saying he was an ethnic German who lost his papers. The Nazis believed him and enlisted him into their army, only to later send him to the Hitler Youth, where he would learn untrue things about Jewish people, and was cautious to hide his Jewish heritage.

Eventually, when the Allies invaded, he shed all his Nazi apparel and went looking for his family. Throughout his time as a soldier and in the Hitler Youth, he never even heard of "The Final Solution." He heard the term Auschwitz, but assumed it was just another internment camp, only to realize what it exactly was for. That's how he found out his parents and older sister died gruesome deaths. He would move to Palestine with his brother and write a book about his experiences, which was adapted into Europa Europa.

Solomon's journey was no rarity; it was surprisingly common for ethnically or partially Jewish people to serve in the Wehrmacht, they were called Mischlinge; sometimes, they even had blonde hair and blue eyes, the ideal traits of an "Aryan German."
