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.
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.

- Joan Kawai: Guilty of aggravated rape. Sentenced to 10 years. He went to the Pelicots' the same night his daughter was born. He has been in jail since 2021.
What the fuck is wrong with these people. It’s astounding how many irredeemable pieces of shit there are out there. Fucking pathetic, the lot of them
I'm not, how shall I say, that into sex, but I leave people to their kinks. But what kind of human are you that you go over to someone's house the night your child is born to rape some stranger at the invitation of her husband?
Eh. The world is backwards.
Shitheads like this have an easy time finding a mate.
Wow, that was a cumulative 441 years with an average of about 8.5 years.
The most was 20 years and the least was 3 years
Dominique Davies: Guilty of aggravated rape. Sentenced to 13 years. The 45-year-old is a lorry driver.
Cyprien Culieras: Guilty of aggravated rape. Sentenced to six years. He is 45 and has eight prior convictions.
How does this work?
If it's like where I live decisions on sentencing are made with an eye to the person's history, like if you have a low IQ and fetal alcohol syndrome, your sentence is less. No idea about France though.
