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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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.

Weird that judges decide the verdict instead of a jury. Is that normal in Brazil? Seems very abusable.
Brazil uses Civil Law, as many other countries do, not Common Law as in the USA.
Brazil does have the concept of Jury, but this case fits a different criterion.
There are some conditions for a jury in USA as well.

Woah, crazy, all of the sea people fall under the system of Halakha? TIL
Your pedophile insurrectionary ex-president is free and president again.
Ours was just condemned to 27 years in prison.
Are you really in a position to comment on our judiciary system?
Not because of juries lol. The issue is the corrupt political actors. If citizens had that power instead I believe it would have been different.
How's that working out for you?
Why do you assume that if it's how it's done in the USA then it's the best way?
Fucking USAians and their arrogance.
lol people are so hostile. The US definitely doesn’t do things well most of the time but juries do work pretty well in my experience.
That's rich. A USAian saying people are hostile. In the days after a major hostile motherfucker got a sudden fountain open in his neck.
Get out of here. Fucking having the audacity to question the justice system in other countries because "in my experience". Loser.
I was literally asking for people’s input because I don’t have experience with their legal system. But I guess you’re so intent on making everyone your enemy that you had to interpret it in the most negative light.
Questioning things in a polite, inquisitive way is good. Going off on people for questioning things is deranged behavior.
Also, I wonder if you are aware that people from other countries are individual humans with different opinions and behaviors on things? It seems not. What a very sad and myopic outlook.
Yes, very polite. Starting with calling how it's done in other places weird and finishing with accusing it of being just plain corruption.
Face it asshole. You're just a regular USAian thinking the world is that poor excuse of a country and everything else is worse.
Nope. You don’t know shit about me. Fuck off.
Is this how you treat everyone from other countries? I’ve heard tell that many Europeans are xenophobic but I didn’t realize it was this bad.
No, just arrogant USAians.
We're not trying to build walls and ICE acts over there. Saying Europeans are xenophobic. Do you have the faintest seed of an idea of how fucking idiotic that is?
Neither am I dipshit. That’s what I’m trying to explain to you. Unlike you, I’m responding to your behavior and not some imagined category.
Note I didn’t say Europeans are xenophobic. Just many of of them. And you.
Isn't it the case of every Supreme Court? Which one has a jury?
The Supreme Court doesn’t usually decide people’s sentences though. They might rule on a technical issue arising in a trial but not decide the verdict or sentence. At least, that’s how it works in the US.
i love how you're correct and people are downvoting you because they listened to a podcast
Lemmy seems to have interpreted my comment as some kind of pro-US nationalist position. Which is ridiculous but whatever I don’t even try to figure out or worry about what will anger people here anymore.
I'd say we need to be friends but it seems we already are
Normal in most countries. I wouldn't trust jury of inept people to understand evidence provided to them.
I trust them more than corrupt politicians.
Are judges in the US elected? I know some are appointed. In some countries they are career public servants. They pass an exam and dispute with other candidates, so they are experts in their field that went in a public selection process.
Some are elected, yes. But at a certain level of power everyone becomes a politician.
In Brazil, only murder cases go to jury trial, but even then, it's very different from the US. Here, jurors can interview witnesses and there's no deliberations between them, they go one at a time to a room with the presiding judge and cast a secret ballot, simple majority convicts or not. All other crimes are decided by the judge from the bench.
Oh, and our judges don't use gavels...
Good protection against Banksy ...
Interesting, thanks for the information. I’m a big fan of jury trial personally but I hope that system works well for you.
Brazil uses civil law system like Europe... no need for juries
you realise that people can opt for a bench trial in the US?
