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.

Try telling that to the Lemmy.World admins who auto-censor removed. :/
It's a fucking British food you bastards! I will die on this hill! Free the removed!
Now I need to know what it is. My first thought would be Spotted Dick, but then Dick is a name. Maybe Pork removeds? That one I can understand being removed.
I think I know what it is. You can buy them in the supermarket. It’s slang for a gay man, rhymes with maggot.
Ah yes, I understand why they remove it as I don't think it's often used in its other contexts. I do prefer to use it to describe a bundle of sticks
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
bundle of sticks
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Ah so similiar to the german translation of the instrument bassoon?
And Norwegian. It's hard to converse with countrymen on a platform running word filters for another language.
Not just playing the instrument "removed", but discussing school classes with friends and family as we would say "hvilke fag tar du i år?" to ask which classes you take this year. Luckily Lemmyworld isn't that aggressive, but many online chat services and emails clients have started screaming at "fag".
Encountering such filters on a school computer that blocked my emails was particularly frustrating.
Someone has a word that shares the f-slur for a benign food product? Holy shit that's unfortunate.
My dad used to talk about them. He'd call it faggots and peas.
Why the fuck is this showing up as "Pork removeds" for me?
I feel like that guy on Reddit who accidentally set his device's language to Spanish and asked for help in Reddit, and everyone pranked him by writing their comments in Spanish
It's as if the Scunthorpe problem has been lost to history. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem
Or https://www.expressandstar.com/news/2013/11/01/removeds-and-peas-fall-foul-of-facebook-censors/
Can Wikipedia bypass the censor?

Edit: nope
pork and offal or.... that's all I can think of that'd get removed
