World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.

So that means they also have laws for androcide. Right?
Wanna provide any examples of that happening anywhere at any appreciable scale?
No, because that basically doesn't exist and usually no one makes laws for things that don't exist.
Feel free to keep trying to justify your misogyny, I am mildly entertained.
Would it have been difficult to introduce a gendercide law?
If androcide doesn't exist, it wouldn't matter anyway, right?
So that you know, all the feminists fighting for equality are satisfied with having equal rights and laws for both genders.
Unless...
So you are infuriated by the name? That sounds like misogyny since there are no androcides and the law, whatever the name, would still concern only femicides.
Anyway a "gendercide" law could be great and could include also hate crimes against homosexuals, transsexuals and so on, but guess what?
Other bigots like you go completely nuts when someone mentions these words and the current proposed law for that specific type of crimes is blocked.
Infuriated? I see someone is projecting.
Like myself? Uhm. Wasn't I the one who just said they should have introduced a gendercide law?
I think it's time for one of us to take a nap.
Thank you for the eloquent answer 😂
EDIT: you are the one who is proposing (completely out of nowhere) a "gendercide" law even though you know androcides don't exist and even though you didn't mention other genders.
Sounds all purely in bad faith, which is why I'm prone to include you in the bigots club.
Honestly any kind of gender-motivated hate murder should be punished but from my point of view isn't the biggest issue the murder part? If you're already sentencing someone for an intentional murder wouldn't they be ideally getting something resembling a maximum sentence? In which case would the specific motive really make a huge difference in punishment? I'm just trying to understand why this is a big deal when the starting point is already murder.
No, there are many cases and conditions that can change the final sentence, which can be, but not always is, the life sentence (26 years in italy or 21 with "good behavior").
I'm not an expert though so for better informations you should research it yourself.
