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. 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.

Discriminate against.
Thank you, grammar police. Nobody would have possibly known what I meant since I forgot a word.
I've seen enough people omit that particular word that when I see it now, I assume they didn't just forget a word, but that they don't know better.
“How dare I face consequences for harassment!”
My religion says two plus two is three. I will therefore knock 25% of any bill I receive. If you object, I'll sue you for religious discrimination.
At my business selling board games I only use binary numbers. Just ones and zeros, no twos or threes. Checkmate atheists.
This guy is planning to make bank running the standard right wing grift of being yet another professional cry-bully who has been "woke-cancelled"
From the end of the Magdalane Laundries in the 1990s to prosecuting anti-trans bigots. That's quite a progressive turn for a nation!
Oh it’s the next Jordan Peterson.
When does he get hooked on benzodiazepines and give himself brain damage while trying a sketchy Russian detox method?
As an American…
I’m thinking Peterson never shot any where up so this guy is going a bit beyond that.
He returned to a place where he was terminated from a job for being an asshole.
I hope somebody is checking to make sure he’s not planing something violent.
This guy didn’t shoot anything up either, though.
Not yet.
Many people who become active shooters will scout their targets before hand. especially, when they’re adults.
We don't really have that whole active shooter thing here tbh.
He doesn't strike me as violent, just a self important cunt.
Sure.
Which is why I prefaced my original comment as “as an American…”
I’d suggest, however, that that has way more to do with gun laws than a lack of assholes.
I’m not sure where this conversation is going, but neither have shot anything up and this guy is going to be the next right-wing darling.
He is a far right political extremist. (Right or left doesn’t really matter here, only that he’s politically extreme.)
He’s also religiously conservative.
He was terminated for harassing a trans (or non binary?) kid.
He was presumably told to not return. He returned anyhow, or there was otherwise sufficient cause for a court to order him not to return.
Be returned anyway.
I’m saying this guy is a walking rack of red flags all of which suggest his attempt to gain entry wasn’t for peaceful purposes.
Is this just a way to get his mail delivered to his cell, since An Post won't come to his house any more?
"religious freedom" mostly means the freedom to be a bigot.
Burke accused the court of denying him his religious rights, which included his belief in two genders, male and female. "This is a mockery of justice," he told the judge.
He can exercise his “religious rights“ to be a bigot, but not at the school and not as a teacher.
He can do his job while failing to understand or accept what a transgender student of his is going through, as long as he, you know, does his job, in which the act of respecting and protecting the rights of his students is a core requirement. Creating an environment where the student feels safe and accepted is base level requirement for being a teacher. Choosing to actively disrespect a student when they're only asking for a completely reasonable, socially accepted courtesy is strictly not doing his job.
It is no one's "religious right" to create a hostile environment for another, and to do so targeting a minor is abuse. It's no wonder he was barred from the school.
Didn’t you know religious mental illness deserves respect, more respect than actual human lives.
Ireland doing things the right way. \○/
