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.

the only safe spots are those without religion. there is no alternative. we must cull the grasp of religion on humans as we have other barbaric practices if we are to move past this violence and hate.
If cancer was cured tomorrow, people would still eventually die, but I would rather live in a world without cancer than with.
Better not try then, let's just accept our fate and not attempt to do anything about it
The amount of people raped, beaten, and murdered in the name of religion is unfathomable. That's why. We should absolutely deal with climate change AND get rid of all religions.
I don't know why you don't think they are related nor do I see why you think we can't work on more than one problem at once. Also if you want to talk about the lack of unity you might not want to mention religion.
Why are you putting words in my mouth? Who said it's the only solution?
The answer is simple:
Religion is not based in fact.
We need solutions based on facts if we are going to handle the problems our species faces.
there is no peace without it. you think traditional mulims will not oppose trans rights movement? there is no coexistance with people following religious rules.
?
this is the same excuse conservatives use in the united states to keep human killing weapons at home. it doesnt mean we shouldnt get rid of guns. it means we get rid of guns and govern the people
same here. we can move towards abolishing the root cause of most racism and hate (religion) as well as policing and educating the terrible populace that require it.
to turn a blind eye on the root cause, is to prove you have motive in its existence.
Religions tend to give people permission to hate, if they're looking for one
How many? Also, from that point of view religious people are hatefully pushing their beliefs on others.
People have a right to their religion, or lack-there-of. My point was that religions give permission to hate (in the text), and that's not ok.
Entire legions of strawmen armed to battle for Starbucks seasonal cups.
Unless someone is picking up sticks on a Sunday, then they should be stoned to death .
It's literally "kill people who aren't your religion". How is that not hate?
Edit: also, to revisit the point: it's in the text
Nowhere does it say he was Christian, he was just an old man in the woods. If the religions no longer believe it, it should be removed. Otherwise it's used for hate.
Edit, spelling
And that is because they have a skydaddy to do the dirty work for them. Go read your book of revelation sometime.
TIL asking for religion to not be involved in secular government and a mean comment on social media is "forced" in the exact same sense of the world the theists of world are doing to us.
Well said Lucifer.
