Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

"The royal family did nothing to stop it", he said.
In June, a new study revealed that "Dutch rulers received the equivalent of €545m ($595m) in today's money between 1675 and 1770 from colonies where slavery was enforced".
It is good that he made this apology. "After acknowledgment and apology, we can work together on healing, reconciliation and restoration," the King added.
Heh, nice, subtle juxtaposition there.
Reminds me of this little something I saw on a traffic light in Utrecht the other day:
(In Dutch, sorry.)
What's it mean in English?
EDIT : Thanks everyone for the translations!
Google lens gives:
hello i am the king and you are a subject and i have money like water and you are the tap and you have big worries and I have another million and I'm going to tell you that we do it together
hello I am the king and you are a subject and I have money like water and you are the tap
and you have big worries and I have another million and I'm going to tell you that we are in this together
Roughly:
I am the king
You are below
I got money as water
You are the water tap
You got big worries
I got another million
I am gonna tell you
How we are gonna do it together
Thank you for enabling the lazy of us.
And at the same time, in 2023 this pointless family recieved a larger amount of tax payers money than before
Now let’s focus on reparations.
Ahh yes apologies.... How about slavers, owners and their beneficiaries give up ill gotten gains...
In US, we have talks of reparations but the momenent someone suggests that slave owners and their estates and crotch fruit pay for it... Not the wage slave taxpayers, conversations is quickly stopped.
dAtS coMInism, pLz don't SaY it, my family dindu nuffing mayne, and if they did, slaves deserved it. Why do you hate private property?!
