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.

Is that just a ban on bringing knives or a ban on selling them as well? A ban on knife sales, during Christmas time, in a city famous for knives, seems a bit weird.
Just wait until they hear about pointed sticks.
You can still buy and transport knives, they just have to be in a "locked" container. Basically just not easily accessible.
Not sure why you are getting down voted, that is literally how the law works. If you buy a knife at the market and transport it inside it's packaging you are allowed to carry it with you
Unfortunately this just amounts to symbolic politics:
- anyone seriously willing to hurt others will ignore it or find ways around it
- the general public is mildly inconvenienced by any measures to enforce/control it
It's not like carrying knives in public was legal before, anyway
You must be confusing us with the UK or France. You can carry (concealed or otherwise) knives up to 12 cm or folder that are not designed to be openable with one hand. If you want to transport a Chef's knife on the metro, do it in your backpack, that is, you're not supposed to have it at hand. Some types of knives (e.g. butterflies) are right-out outlawed, you're not allowed to have them even in your own home.
Mostly though these weapon-free zones are a way to allow police to do searches.
Thats what I meant. It was already illegal to carry a knive out in the open in a public place. It didn't prevent the Solingen stabbing.
What these weapon-free zones allow is harassment by police against minorities and POC
It isn't, and has not been, illegal to carry knives out in the open in a public area. You don't usually see people running around with 12cm Fahrtenmesser but it's completely legal. That's blade length, to be clear, not total length. This kind of thing. Or things like an Opinel, completely legal to EDC.
And mass gatherings aren't the same thing as a random public place.
EDCing swords was outlawed in 2008 IIRC, now it's aforementioned 12cm max, only a single edge etc.
