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.
-
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.

Americans are way too obsessive with this stuff imo, images of naked kids aren’t inherently sexual, it’s only a problem if they’re sexualised. Yeah obviously you shouldn’t post your pics of your kids online, clothed or not, but I don’t see any problem at all of having a pic of your baby’s first bath or whatever. It’s entirely normal.
Um, I think its kinda justified given the number of blatant and open pedos I've encountered in Europe. (And I have no clue why they feel the need to talk to me about it.) Something I've never encountered in the US. Not saying pedos don't exist in the US, but at least the US culture is such that they're more quiet about.
Also Wtf:
"A few years later, Germany’s newly established Green Party, which brought together antiwar protesters, environmental activists, and veterans of the student movement, tried to address the “oppression of children’s sexuality.” Members of the Party advocated abolishing the age of consent for sex between children and adults."
Having a culture where people aren’t safe to seek medical or therapeutic support to get help with dealing with their psychiatric or mental issues isn’t helpful. It seems like it would be better for people to be open and admit they’re attracted to minors and get help with it rather than keeping it a secret. Not to mention the fact that none of this comment has anything to do with my point, unless you think that a person having a couple completely innocent nude photos of their kids means they’re a pedophile.
The whole damn world has an insane moral panic going on about child abuse and it’s extremely unhelpful for actually dealing with the issues that cause it or dealing with the consequences. I say that as a survivor of sexual abuse as a child. I felt basically unable to speak to anyone about it because of all the stigma around it.
Having a culture where it is not discouraged is worse.
It is not told to me out of "seeking to recover" intent... It is out of either seeking others into it, or hoping I was minor.
Nah usually not, but sometimes they are. I was just talking more generally.
That sucks, but the stigma I'm advocating is directed at the perpetrators, not the victims.
