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.
-
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 French didn't ban for only one group of people, all religions are affected.
It targeted one group of people though.
Either way banning clothes is stupid.
Other groups of people have been affected in the past. The Muslims are just the current latest group affected by it.
They have pretty sound logic for doing it
Any recent examples?
What's the logic?
I'm French and if you believe that they got you good
I've been to France many times and religion isn't banned at all, France is an incredibly diverse country, probably the most in all of Europe
nobody suggested they "ban religion"
Yes you are, that's what you people are all implying and it's completely false
can you explain who "you people" are? are they in the room with us right now?
can you also give the specific quote where "you people" said france bans all religion? you didnt just, y'know, imagine it did you?
"are they in the room with us right now?"
I'm conversing with you in this thread, unless you don't exist? Is that what you're saying? lol
so obviously you can give the specific quote where i said france bans all religion then
We're talking about the schools, specifically
Yeah this is equality vs equity. If your religion has no religious outfits it doesn't impact you if your religion does it does impact you. You can't make a rule that only impacts one minority group and claim that it is fair because it hurts everyone the same way, since it clearly doesn't.
