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.

Would you be comfortable banning perfumes, cologne, scented beauty products and air fresheners. I'm allergic to all of those things.
Hell yeah, sounds like a great idea.
If they are producing problematic exposure to a large number of people, for the benefit of only a few, yes I would.
It gets a lot more difficult however to figure out where to draw the line. In terms of noise, smoking is like someone letting off flashbangs. It's obviously antisocial and problematic, particularly in a close environment. However , how should we handle loud music? Obviously playing music loud enough to vibrate windows at 3am is a problem, but below that is a murky zone where it's difficult to agree on what's problematic or not.
The equivalent to this, in smoking terms is vaping etc. It still produces something with a negative effect, but with a far lower problem potential. While I would personally prefer not to be exposed to vaping smells either, the balance is a lot less obvious. I accept that it would do more harm (to our personal freedoms etc) than good adding vapes to a ban.
There should be some rules on smell production, but it's the sort of thing that is difficult to write into regulations. It's currently impossible to write a quantitative test into law. All would be subjective, and so prone to problems.
Fuck yes. I hate walking into a room to be slapped with someone's 36 spray morning routine. Thanks, I love having a headache all day.
An allergy reaction just isn't the same as cell damage done by the incomplete charred remains from cigarette smoke.
One of them is a water gun and the other is a uranium cell up your arse
... perfume doesn't cause cancer when you inhale it
Hurr durr oops I dropped this

Oh man "maybe some contain some things that might cause cancer maybe possibly in laboratory testing on mice, and even only if you absolutely fucking drown yourself in it" against "smoking is always known to and will absolutely cause cancer, including to people around you." Yeah definitely the same thing.
Sitting behind someone in a theatre that's drenched in perfume will fuck me up more than a cigarette will.
Yes actually, those also ruin the air quality. I'm by no means allergic to them but oh man do i power walk away from those smelly areas in the mall
