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.
-
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 onion just predicts the future at this point
Such a newspaper isn't needed anymore.
Next week, adolf hitler is appointed chair of the Shoah Foundation.
Haha, the UN is such a joke.
They must do this stuff on purpose for the lols, no way a legitimate group that means well would actually put Saudi Arabia in charge of gender equality.
It runs democratically. That means it is possible to subvert it with calculated strategic maneuvering.
The only alternative would be if it were some authoritarian global government, which is what most of us don't actually want, incidentally.
I never understand how people think any form of government or institution is supposed to work properly, unless people fight for it to do so. All things are potentially corruptible if we let it happen. All systems eventually, at some point, end up hinging on the honor system. And the simpler the system is, the easier it is to corrupt. If it was an absolutist monarchy, all you'd need to corrupt would be the king. Just one person. Very simple.
This sounds like an onion article headline.
Y'all calm the fuck down. This is the UN pointing the finger, and not subtly at all. This puts the spotlight on the Kingdom and I'm laughing thinking about how they'll weasel around.
Do you want all these European tourist dollars? Maybe ease up on the ladies huh?
We can hope at least
Uhh...
We ARE living in a mirror universe.
So, why exactly?
The UN cannot be THAT dumb, they must understand how this looks and will work... Are they hoping thst, lastinute, SA will get their shit together and decides to treat women like human beings? Doubtful, this is not a Hollywood movie.
These things are voted on by the member countries. How many of them have regressive theocratic governments?
Indeed. How well do you think this will go?
And again, how do you think it looks? The optics are just sad.
Clearly it's a shitty move that will harm vulnerable people.
Of course it looks bad, and I'm not trying to excuse it.
Just explaining that it wasn't some burocratic decision by a cabal of scheming administrators to fuck people over.
This is the actions of specific (mostly threocratic) countries.
The individual countries voting here you mean.
