Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
What an utter hellhole to live in if you're a girl or woman.
India, what the fuck.
That's the third horrific story out of India today alone. Fuckin' hell.
Because OP does nothing but post about terrible things happening in India.
Your comment just made me check their post history and yeah, that's a bit strange...
Maybe they're Indian.
They do appear to be Indian and have a quite complicated post history including support for the IDF, despite the Islamic username. It's nice to see someone with truly unique views and perspective on here even if I don't agree.
Maybe they're Muslim and have something against India. An ML I knew in college was a Muslim sympathizer native to a nearby country, and she was super weird about it.
There is a huge population of Muslims in India. This person posts as if they are currently living in India and criticizes the law and cultural as someone who is part of it. So idk, it's like all of us complaining about the US
you are right i am against india
i want a femboy caliphate
Called it.
India has a population of 1.4 billion people. There being 3 horrific stories within a day does not say much. You seeing 3 such stories says more about your media than India.
They were all on Lemmy so it says something about Lemmy.
Come on India, get your shit together!
There's going to be a bunch of weird crimes in a country with a billion people, but there's obviously some systemic issues at hand as well. It's just that maybe you should bring those up when criticizing the place instead of just reacting to a singular act?
Like, India has a bunch of problems with systemic misogyny but not kidnap infants systemic problems.
Are you that same guy that got banned before? Or are you a new guy posting lots of bad stories out of UP?
Different guy, same schtick. Or at least the accounts have both been active since before the other guy got banned.
Are these sorts of crimes not actually worse in UP? I feel like I saw these sorts of stories on Reddit too before making the switch.
If it isn’t significantly worse in that region of India, then where is all this UP hate coming from online, and why?
