World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.

Seriously, this is the best you came up with? Technically being Muslim isn't banned in China either. Preventing people from harmlessly practicing their religion is also against freedom of religion.
Who is preventing Muslims to practice their religion?
Enforcing a sexist, misogynistic, ancient ideal that women need to cover their body for men to not to be tempted is in no way "harmless"
Hijab is part of Islam so... There's your answer.
Miss me with your white savior bullshit, Muslim women are perfectly capable of thinking for themselves, so when they ask for hijab to be banned you can say that.
And we come back to the original post. See how this is related now? :)
"White savior bullshit", funny.
There are SO MANY contrarian assholes on lemmy it's just staggering. You found another one congrats. I'll hypocritically suggest you disengage, although they're fun to poke with sticks.
Personally I'm convinced they are chatbots designed to drive engagement and increase posting. At least I hope so, because the alternative is that all the assholes and morons on this site are real actual people and that's a super depressing thought.
I was actually gonna do that after the next reply. I'm mainly hoping someone who's on the fence or who doesn't know much about the topic sees this exchange and change their minds. The people who actually say shit like this out loud are hopeless.
Good luck with that 🤣 I do this too though so again I acknowledge my hypocrisy.
And we come back to the original post. See how this is related now? :)
Nobody is asking for a hijab ban. They're asking for forced hijab to be lifted WTF are you even high on?
France literally bans religious clothing.
If muslim women are free to think for themselves, why do muslim men beat and murder them so often?
Why do all men across the world beat and murder women so often?
Ignorance and poor male leadership in their formative years.
