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.

Anyone see any Reddit posts on this? That site is becoming more and more unhinged. Front page is fine for the most part, but some of the other posts about this event that are not too far from the front page are just filled with islamaphobia. I was so lost as to how this is even related to religion until I realized that it’s a bunch of right wing Indian centric accounts. So just idiots fueled by propaganda just spreading more hate.
Reddit has stopped banning hatefarm bots and is instead promoting them. There is no longer a difference between Reddit and Facebook.
Yeah there's a push by rightoids to put blame solely on muslims on pretty much all platforms and not just Reddit, as in "look what happens when you let immigrants in!!", in reality it being completely bullshit. There's also blame being put on "radical left" by French officials, but that too is bs, especially when considering how the leftist parties have been calling for an end to the riot
😂 Yeah yeah lfi did totally call for calm and peace and never ever even suproted thoses movement. None of the deputee even went to thoses while litteraly playing the big guys in front of cops cause they are protected by their mandat.
Glad to know in one year you will only be a bad memory
It's a strange new reality and not just Reddit. Somewhere along the way ESL posters have become more commonplace and with AI it's easier than ever to run bot farms. Between the AI shitposting and general oddness of ESL phrasing you'll now see replies such as "brown hands wrote this" as a reoccurring retort.
Reddit has become mainstream, it's synonymous with facebook at this point.
You should go to /r/Sverige, it's filled with so much hate for immigrants and they're using the protests to fuel it. God I gotta get out of this fucking country.
R/worldnews? Because that place is a cesspool of right-wing nutjobs that is modded by Zionists
I think it was some Indian specific subreddits
Not too different demographic
Crybaby about islamophobia 😂 Islam is objectively bad. French dont want islam. Islam need to go Or they need to go. One way or the other it s nice for once to have hope for the futur
Lol that's awesome. You guys here have fucked up so bad. You've given every platform imaginable to the racists and bigots. Just give them this one too. Love to see it. Maybe one day you'll all wake up to realize how ineffective and lazy this generation of leftist are and how they were just as affected by manipulations and propagandists as much as the right. The consequence though for the two are entirely different.
