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.

With the London surveillance apparatus, I bet they could figure out who Banksy is. It’d be an insane waste of time and resources, but I bet they could.
The fact that they're going to all this trouble over this image proves the point the image was making better than anything else possibly could have.
Streisand Effect to the max.
Exactly and the image is already out on the internet now.
Link?
Before and after they tried to remove it only to further bolster the message
Hiroshima shadows
Honestly, they inadvertently made it better, and certainly made it more poignant
That is amazing. I love it when cesorship fucks its own ass lol.
Do you think it was intentional with the choice of paint, or did the person removing it intentionally scrub just the silhouette?
Looks like possible malicious compliance by the cleaning crew.
I know it’s what I’d do at least.
This was the best I could find without people in it when it first went up:
If artwork is a threat to your system…
but, BUT, MUH LAW AND ORDER
Could always make them waste even more resources by adding noise to what little data they might have.
I'm ~~Spartacus~~ Banksy!
I'M BANKSY!
I saw my dog with a stencil yesterday. Maybe he's Banksy.
Mine peed on a wall today. Maybe Banksy is a team?
Does he still install them himself? Isn't it likely he sent someone to do it for him?
Couldn’t tell ya, but that’s certainly plausible.
They have done both.
Finally all that money they’re giving to antichrist speaker Peter Thiel going to good use
