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.

I'm not some huge fan of the death penalty. There's a hefty line, but this is WAY past it.
Wait I'm confused are there actually people who think she didn't do this? I looked at the evidence it's pretty f****** clear she killed like a bunch of babies. Like how much of a psychopath do you have to be to kill a baby not only a baby, preemies. The most defenseless of defenseless, like are you for real or are you just like joshing and having a laugh, are you for real?
It's not this specific case that suggests why killing prisoners is wrong, but others where it's not so cut and dry..
A man was recently pardoned after years in prison for a crime he did not commit - he was on a whole life sentence.
If killing someone for their crimes becomes legal, this man may have been killed for a crime he didn't commit and would never have seen a free day again.
By maintaing the system currently in place where we don't kill prisoners, there is the opportunities for miscarriages of justice to be somewhat rectified.
Can't bring a man back from the dead, but we can give him a million pounds for the false imprisonment and his freedom for the rest of his days.
I never said she needs to be put to death or advocated for such, I just hope she never gets out so that she can harm another person. Anyway, I assumed they didn't have the death penalty in Britain.
My bad, I made an assumption based on the earlier stance in the thread of this woman getting the death penalty.
All good.
Oh YOU looked at the evidence? Ok, nothing more to do here boys, time to shut down the courts and legal institutions, we found a much better way to do things. Why haven't we thought about contacting you sooner?
You think there is no deception possible in this world? Imagine you killed someone and afterwards it turns out a mistake was made in the process?
Dude what?
There’s a note in her handwriting admitting she did it.
All the babies that died, died whilst she was on shift at a infinitely higher rate than what was normal
The text messages on her phone link to the dates of when the babies were killed.
People can often be locked up or sentenced under some pretty circumstantial evidence, but that is not the case here.
I see, y'all are out getting your jollies, trollin people. No for real, I looked at your post history and all I see you going out of your way trolling people.
Bruh, not cool.
It's ok, I won.
Just trust the law experts to do their job right bro
Then she was looking to end her life anyway. Used a rather round about method to pull it off, but it was her choice.
Please, do explain.
