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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

Context: Giuseppe Valditara, Education secretary, is a male, 64;
Giorgia Meloni, Prime minister, is a female, 48. Pic related.
She tabled the bill to continue limiting sex-ed.
Opinion: Progress. Although killing your partner is not directly related to sex-ed, sex-ed is generally good. Students learn hygiene and STI prevention.
I don't study these curriculums, but the class I took didn't mention homosexuals or gender roles. Gender id and transgender weren't in pop culture, but I doubt it is included today.
Edit: Sorry guys, I read the article poorly.
Giorgia Latini, not Giorgia Meloni (prime minister), tabled the measure. It isn't clear from the article if the measure was tabled before or after the Valditara's amendment was approved. And Giorgia Meloni weighed in on gender theory, not necessarily sex ed.
I can't seem to determine from this article if sex education will be limited more or not, just that it is an issue for debate in Italy.
I fail to see how this is progress. I know in the US “tabled” means the topic is set aside, but elsewhere the term means the precise opposite: to suggest the formal discussion of something.
This is Italy further restricting sex education, unless I’m seriously misunderstanding the article. The opposite of progress.
She brought to the table an extension of the limit from primary to middle school. And it passed. So no sex ed until kids are over 14. Meanwhile the average age of menarche is 12 years. And girls and women are being murdered. But all she cares about is keeping kids from learning about any options besides traditional marriage and gender roles.
This is not progress.
That's essentially been the Republican playbook in the US for the past 40 years. Introduce heinous legislation, media and opposition hem and haw for a couple weeks, pull the heinous legislation for something that is 75% less heinous which passes. Rinse and repeat and people consider it a victory every time their rights are eroded away
