Here’s the missing link to said Washington Examiner article:
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.

Gadget Review gets articles out at an impossible frequency and often simply recycles other sources. Yahoo News is a feed reader that only displays news from other websites (while obscuring source information that could be gleaned from URLs), whose identity it displays at the top of each article (in this case, Gadget Review).
Your submission in “Nah it wasn’t him. He was with me studying about Jesus.” was removed as not uplifting, not news (rule a)).
Your submission in “Someone Cut Down Every Single Flock Camera in This Town in a Single Night” was removed as schadenfreude (rule a)1).
Your submission in “Flock cameras across Minnesota are being vandalized in response to data privacy concerns” was removed as schadenfreude (rule a)1).
Your submission in “The U.S. dumped 500,000 tons of oyster shells back into the ocean in 2007. Nearly two decades later, they have created a thriving habitat for thousands of marine species” was removed as repost of questionable reliability (rule c)1).
Please replace the Yahoo News link with one to the original. Yahoo News is a feed that aggregates news from outlets, and it displays the source for each item at the top.
In line with our rules against bad copies, could you replace the link with one to the original The Independent post?
Your submission in “Occupation army faces reserve troop, tank shortages” was removed as schadenfreude, war is not uplifting (rule a)).
Your submission in ““F COLLINS!” Hundreds march to Senator Collins Office in Portland Maine” was removed as toxic politics (rule b)).
Your submission in “Veterans challenge 4th of July lies” was removed as toxic politics (rule b)).
Your submission in “United Soccer League Announces USL Premier, New Interconnected Men’s Professional Structure” was removed as not uplifting (as far as I can tell as a non-USL guy).
Your submission in “Almost Half of US Data Centers That Were Supposed to Open This Year Slated to Be Canceled or Delayed” was removed as too borderline schadenfreude and old.
Would you kindly remove
/ampfrom the link? It is forcing upon us a mobile version of the site.
Your submission in “3 Founding Fathers died on July 4th” was removed as not uplifting (rule a)).
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.
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.
Your submission to upliftingnews was removed as unfortunately already posted.
Since I’m not sure what this means, I must have not be clear enough; apologies. Gadget Review’s articles (one of which is your link) are very likely to be AI-generated.
