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.

Any theories why?
Well I did a little research and there was this thing called Apartheid. It sounded pretty bad. Might have something to do with the race relations out there.
I was 6 years old when apartheid ended. My parents and many white people didn't agree with it. You probably don't know much about it. I had fuck all to do with it, but because I happen to be white it is my fault?
Our major problem is unemployment, our government policies are not business friendly. Keep hammering at that keyboard pal.
Nowhere in my comment did I say apartheid was your fault. Please read White Fragility and then look in the mirror.
That's not what he's saying, he says that due to Apartheid there are still some racial tensions and it's also a reason for said unemployment and poverty.
It has been 32 years since. Many people still live in poverty if the ANC actually cared about the people they would have sorted out education, but keep the masses uneducated and they will vote for you. A pass rate in SA is 30% to push up pass statistics. A fucking joke.
Make policies that encourage investment and job creation.
Get a police force that is actually competent.
All our SOEs are running at losses and require constant bail outs. Our rail system is fucked. Our energy supply is fucked. Our water supply is near fucked. Our roads are fucked. Way too much corruption causing this. Officials looting money that is meant for the people of the nation. I could go on.
Fix root causes.
But populism over logical policies...
