Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I support incentivized temporary sterilization for men and women, and forcible permanent sterilization of men and women in certain circumstances (e.g. a man rapes and impregnates a child).
Forcibly sterilising a person with sexual urges for children does not remove the urges. Just the means to fulfill those urges. And could lead to worse actions.
Yeah, I was about to say, are we trying to create child killers or something? Like, is that the goal?
That’s a huge leap. Because they can’t impregnate a child they’d be more likely to kill them?
Fulfill the urges to impregnate a child? What about the baby? If we’re concerned about repeat offending then just kill them. Rehabilitation of pedophilic rapists is mostly unsuccessful.
How very fascist of you. I'm sure it's just a happy little coincidence to you that forced sterilization in the West has overwhelmingly been targeted at queer and PoC communities.
We have forced sterilization? Why do you assume I want to sterilize queer and PoC communities? Nothing in my comment said that. That’s a huge leap.
No it's not. That's where it always leads, and you know it. You just want some shred of what you think is plausible deniability
I can understand having trauma related to the topic, but this is not a productive way to communicate with people. You don’t know anything about me.
What are you even talking about? Was this meant to be some kind of clever retort suggesting that I'd been forcibly sterilized, and that's why I'm commenting on it?
Such a self-report, and you don't even realize it. You cannot even comprehend someone giving a shit in the way that I did, unless the thing specifically happened to me.
Great way to tell everyone that you don't understand empathy without actually saying it.
Woah. Actually what I was saying is that you clearly have some trauma related to how forced sterilization has been implemented in the past as evident by the level of aggression in your posts towards a complete stranger with very little context. Totally understandable and not invalidating your feelings.
It seems you have some misdirected anger and you are making a lot of assumptions to make me your punching bag. Happy to be an outlet for your trauma. I hope you can find a path towards healing and I hope to have a more peaceful discussion on the topic in the future. Take care.
I know that you're in favor of forced sterilizations. I know enough.
You’re too conservative. Sound like a boomer.
That sounds like a bad idea. Who gets to decide the "special circumstances"? It's a slippery slope towards eugenics.
Everybody always says eugenics and can’t fathom an in between. That’s like saying socialism is a slippery slope to communism.
