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.

That man is right they should hold a minute of silence for someone killed due to is freedom of speech and a minute of silence for everone being killed by an oppressor
Edit: two separate groups. A minute of silence for the actual people being oppressed by people that this guy supports
Is that why it happened? Sure about that?
Kind of like how the Iraqis "hate us for our freedoms"
Well I was implying that they could've told him sure whatever, but only if we also take a moment for every oppressed person like the Palestinians as an example.
Since right wing europeans would definitely not stand for that.
I guess I should've been clearer
Oh you know who the killer is and their motives?
How many minutes of silence would that cause per minute?
Or are you only interested in silence for popular Nazis?
Oh yeah I reread my comment. I meant to be vague and say that we should hold one for everyone that oppressed not that he was oppressed. Two separate groups. Meant to hint that they should hold one for every Palestinian (and other like the uyghurs,rohigna, etc.)
That I can agree with!
After all each Palestinian (who isn't Hamas) who died at the hands of IDF just for being Palestinian deserves a minute of silence whereas I'm already quite satisfied by Charly Kirk being silent henceforth.
Adding other oppressed groups to these minutes of silence would be fine.
And that is what it boils down to: people like Kirk aren't being oppressed, they're oppressors. They don't deserve minutes of silence, but being silenced for good.
