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.

I am very sorry that the leaders of Denmark are willing to give up their right of freedom of speech of their population for so little. I wonder what rights they will give up next as part of their appeasement.
Very terminally online American comment.
You can personally attack me but that won't make them not cowards.
And you can whine on lemmy about a countries policy that has nothing to do with you, but it's not going to change anything.
Wasn't aware that you can't have an opinion based on your nationality
Oh you can have an opinion, just no one is required to take you seriously
Don't see where I said otherwise. You have an opinion that I have no right to insult skydaddy and I have an opinion that both of us do. One of us has an opinion that freedom to speak your views is important and the other one does not.
I mean if you read my comments you would no I still support your right to insult "skydaddy" you've taken the fact I disagree with you and extrapolated that mean I think the complete opposite of you on anything.
Imo, burning books is not "speech" so there is no loss of freedom of speech here. Much like how banning people from burning crosses outside black people's houses or doing the nazi salute to Jewish people is not violating free speech.
Goalposts are very lightweight evidently since you are carrying them quite far without strain.
Oh please, do expand on that thought. How /exactly/ am I moving goalposts?
Trying scrolling up, theist.
So that's a no? You can't prove anything. Thought so.
This conversation is starting to lose its comedy and is just getting a bit sad now honestly.
Not a no. You can't keep track of who you are appeasing and blaming me. Moved the goalposts and I am sorry you can't see that. Try a yougov survey maybe it will help you find it, that and your courage.
Lmao, still no actual explanation. Almost like I've been as consistent in my writing as you have been in your sadness.
Maybe trying saying "skydaddy" a few more times, that will really show me!!!
🤣
Pretty sure you know what goalpost moving is.
I do I'm just waiting for you to show me where the inconsistencies in my argument are.... but since their aren't any I think I'll be waiting for a long time.
So I'm just going end this here and move on with my life, before you break down crying or something. Peace out lil neckbeard. ✌️
Would you also consider chants such as "death to all Jews/gays/black people" or actions such as burning trans flag as freedom of speech and do you believe it should be tolerated?
No. This isn't 20 questions and it is not on me to go through every situation. Sorry you don't give a shit about your right to speak your mind go find some shaman and hand yourself over to them.
Sorry, but then I do not understand your logic. To me it seems like you are saying that people should be able to burn Quran (because freedom of speech) but at the same time you believe that burning a trans flag* should not be tolerated. Where is the difference? I am not saying that your opinion is incorrect, I am just unsure what your stand is because suddenly when your logic is applied to a different situation, you refuse to respond
Also, if you believe that ad hominem will make your argument look stronger, then you are clearly wrong.
*Just to make sure: I support all LGBTI rights, I just used them as a comparison.
My logic is I don't want to waste time dealing with literally every single example out there in the borderline between freedom of expression ends and active harassment begins. I am not a judge, I am not an elected official, I am not a lawyer, and I am definitely not an expert on free speech law in Denmark.
Generally yes you should be legally allowed to express any vile opinion you have and do it in a vile way. That doesn't mean you get to go in front of someone's house at 3 am screaming racial slurs at them while waving around a knife. The people of Denmark are giving up freedom for security and it is security from shamans. That makes me sad.
That’s valid. Thanks for clarification.
