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.

Tourism experts say Nepal should not be ‘pinkwashing’, or profiting from LGBTQ issues, without making meaningful contributions to the community
Shit, is "You are welcome here and same-sex unions are recognized" not a good first step? Or first few steps?
Lol, and what meaningful contributions to the community is Linda the Wedding Planner making
Nepal getting all Massachusetts up in here
It’s great to remove a reason not to visit, but that alone isn’t a reason to visit either.
Other than climbing Everest, what is there to do in Nepal?
There's Lumbinī, birthplace of the Buddha, and other buddhist cultural sites. The Durbar squares are three palace squares from when nepal was seperate kingdoms with the old architecture still intact. But I like old architecture so that might just be entertaining for me.
And I bet really frikkin' awesome vistas and waterfalls.
The country is stunning, the people are great, the history fascinating, and the most common cheese (which is fookin awesome) is made from Yak Milk.
One of my favorite memories is waking up early, climbing onto the roof of a guesthouse, 'of course you can, it has the best view, the tiles over there are a bit loose, be careful, would you like some tea? I can bring it up', and watching the sunrise come over Everest.
I need some of this in my life, it sounds like some genuine spiritual cultivation. Thank you for adding an item to my bucket list.
I'm not even spiritual but that sounds so god damn uplifting for the soul. Absolutely on the list for me, too.
