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.
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.

While some see this as an academic lifeline, others view it as France capitalizing on a U.S. brain drain under anti-science policies.
Drain our brains. Europe, Canada, Mexico, Oceania: have at it, make this world safer for us all. I bet Cuba could get some of our medical researchers, too. Cripple the Trump regime.
Colonizers colonizing colonizers.
Capitalism eating itself.
USAID is now Aid for the US.
Europe, Australia need a new operation paperclip to save scientists from Nazi USA.
Just white people saving white people, huh? That's a solid plan for defeating nazis... \s
Scientists are in my experience very often not natives.
Canada, please do the same.
Here comes France again to help Americans from royal persecution.
It's 1778 all over again.

I don't necessarily see how these are opposing viewpoints. Both are certainly true
Let's traumatize our academic institutions and research industry
-a country famous for innovation and technology making a decision they surely will not regret.
The kleptocratic oligarchs really won't regret it, and they don't give a fuck what the rest of us think.
We need to make them regret it.
Wow, America's descent into being a 3rd world country is complete
I'm sure there is plenty further to fall.
Considering the low wage in French Academia, and the lack of permanent position (Which used to be a benefit offsetting lower wages) I am not sur it'll attract that much person.
But still a great initiative.
Do you imagine that USA is any better?
It's a bold claim to say it's about draining brains when america had been draining europe brains for decades
