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.
-
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.

Line of succession
A member of the royal family can also be removed from the line of succession to the throne by legislation, although under a convention enshrined in the preamble to the Statute of Westminster 1931 this would require the consent of every other Commonwealth Realm (independent states where the King is also head of state).
Is it still possible to get him out of the line of succession by forcing him to convert to Catholicism?
This is what I was trying to figure out, too. I feel like this should be automatic.
Prince as the title. Everyone that is son/daughter of the king/queen of England have the title of prince/princess. Different to other monarchies that only the 1st on the line of succession have the title of Prince.
It’s crazy that Australia would need to weigh in, but here we are still.
Well, he's in the line of succession to become the king of Australia.
I just imagine the King getting a letter from one of the Commonwealth heads of state and wiping his ass with it, they knew about this for years and did nothing until it was too big to possibly ignore
He's only allowing this to happen because people started calling him a pedo protector in public and he is finally listening to his pr team to back away from the pedo, the people are turning on you.
If people didnt harrass him, he'd still be protecting his pedo brother.
The Monarch Formerly Known as Prince
I feel bad for writing that, like I just insulted Prince simply by association.
After acknowledging that Palestinian people exist, this may be the bravest thing Albo has ever done.
I wonder where growing up in housing commission flats in the 70s sits on that list.
Actually no, I want Andrew to be arrested, and then become king, and force the commonwealth to decide if they want a paedophile king from prison or no king at all.
