A community for discussing events around the World
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 46-year-old had been subject to bouts of violence and sleep deprivation during streams, and died in his sleep during a live broadcast, local media reported.
"Bouts of violence"? Self-harm I assume? The article is severely lacking in details imho.
I saw a video of the man being strangled and decided I can wait for the final report, I don't need to see the source material.
From what i learned from french investigation media Mediapart, it included slapping, strangling, being asked to hit someone else, among other humiliations.
Id find a better source than me for this but from what ive been told a Kick streamer got repeatedly abused when failing challenges or games during his streams. The abusers also streamed and took suggestions from chat on how to abuse him. Kick also promoted their stream. The abused streamer was seen multiplex time panicking or having breakdowns over what the abusers were going to do. Allegedly one of the last things seen was the abusers smashing a glass bottle in his head.
I do not know how much of this is true or made up. Would be very thankful for sources and corrections. I just know Kick is a dogshit platform heavily promoting gamblers on the front page, so this wouldnt surprise me.
There’s some more details here:
I don’t know who, if anyone at all, should be considered guilty here.
Edit: Found a thread on X going deeper on it. I do think this was a torture and murder now that I’ve seen parts of the stream myself. They weren’t hitting him really hard, but the guy had heart issues and they really weren’t allowing him to sleep well. I can see while you’re in the middle of it it might look like it’s all fun and games but in retrospect the entire thing looks perverse as fuck.
I've checked out this platform and I got to say I don't get streaming at all. It's just sooooooo boring. Who's watching this? What do people get out of it?
Kick is a streaming platform?
I always thought it was some weird messaging platform that scammers always used. Now I get it
Kik and Kick, different platforms. Great naming, i know 🙃
Yeah I'm clearly in my 30s then cause I don't keep up lol
Kick is uncensored Twitch. It's usually where people go after getting banned for racism or whatever on Twitch
Ok well, guess I'm not curious enough to explore now if it's just banned twitchers
I know, i know, reddit ass but still, heres. a thread discussing it with VOD clips linked. TW tho...
