A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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 ban is in effect through Bastille Day in order to prevent "serious disturbances" to public order, the French government announced Sunday.
lmfao did the french gov forget who it's people are?
Being out the guillotine
The guillotine is too humane.
Yeah. Keep in mind the rich people of this would would gladly rape babies if it made them more money.
They also do it for fun. Just ask Epstein...oh wait, nevermind.
We could ask the man who killed him?
I'd settle for the people on his list but I think that might piss off The Party
Now I am kinda wondering if they killed his killer.
Macron out here with the French Revolution Any% speedrun
Can't wait to watch the speed run history breakdown of this in a few years
I think this is a great opportunity to see if anybody has a spine anymore. If the French won't have a proper revolution, we're fucked.
No one ever accused the French of
I really have to hand it to them. Anglo nations just endure terrible government as an unfixable problem. When you piss the french off they are going to let you know.
The fight for progress never stops
Won't happen.
90% of the population was against the recents riots.
Perhaps the French govt should stop behaving against the will of the French people. 🤷
Maybe I don't understand yet how posts on Lemmy work, but is there no link/source for this post?
Oh weird, adding a picture killed the link. Lemme see if I can fix that.
Sorry, I'm new here.
If you’re viewing in compact mode on wefwef I believe that’s a known issue.
I'm not seeing it on desktop (lemmy dot world) and also not in the Jerboa app.
If I click the businessinsider under the title, it brings me to the site on Lemmy.world
I hate fireworks but this seems like a good reason to keep them around.
This is some very ironic, animal farm energy here. The government has forgotten who gave them their power.
Well tbf the Storming of the Bastille was (off the top of my head) two monarchies, two empires and two republics ago. Not to mention any communes, committees of public safety, or directories. How can you blame them for getting confused?? /s
They do still have multiple programs in place to ensure the populace always has bread. They haven’t completely forgotten.
A tale as old as ~~Roman~~ time~~s~~
You can have my fireworks when you pry them from my cold, dead fingers. Which are over there, near the fireworks.
Maybe the government should listen to the people?
That would threaten the profits of the wealthy.
So a temp ban. Nice clickbait headline there bastardinsider . com.
So....if the government turns on the people, what do the French have to protect themselves with?
