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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

"A problem that never existed" right as America falls into christo-fascism. Religion is a cancer, good on them.
Consider yourself lucky that your priest taught you only to lick his boot and not something else.
Because canada is part of the USA right? Also who is in charge of that christo facism yes Trump who do not wear a cross. It is your right to hate all religions just don't tell people what they should wear
They are separating their government and the stupid kooky religions because of the effect it's clearly having elsewhere.
If you give a religious nut an inch, he takes a mile. Once this new religious dark age is stomped down, I hope our country has the sense to give the church the same kind of welcome and implement laws so they can't easily manipulate a bunch of idiots to hate.
Banning signs and clothes won't change people faith at worst it will push them to extremism Don't you also realize that to some muslims beard is religious should we ban beard altogether too?
Secularism is state and religion not interfering with each other. Here the state directly interfered to ban mainstream religious clothes yet it is imposible to ban all signs of the hundreds of other religions
Beards aren't religious and neither is the st for street. You are being silly and honestly, kind of an ass.
they banned symbols and prayers for public servant and in public parks because it's a form of proselytizing. I don't care for your religion, I shouldn't have to deal with it when walking in a park or talking to a police officer. And that's not mentioning all the hate, manipulation and vile bullshit that comes with it. Even if it was all good, I shouldn't have to deal with it.
