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.

Nah, you have to steal stuff back, take the stone of destiny for example.
The plan for stealing the Stone of Scone was hatched where all good plans come about: a pub.
Interesting.... So do countries of origin suddenly have a claim on artifacts that were plundered and shipped to foreign countries? Asking for a friend.
In this case it was found in the 60s in Italian waters by a fisherman and illegally sold on the black market while a law enacted in the 40s stated that all cultural treasures found under ground or under water belong to the government, with up a 25% reward to the finder
Not the usual "we stole it 200 years ago during imperialism so it's legitimately ours now"
Every case is unique in one way or another.
The irony here is that the statue isn't even Italian, is Greek. It was just found in Italy.
They have a claim. Whether the country, organization, or individual in possession of said artifact(s) chooses to recognize that claim is another matter, however.
I don't think so. We're still looking at it.
Hopefully from Italy it finds its way to its rightful place in Greece.
Seriously, how is that not the answer to all this. This world is batshit crazy.
It was lost in a shipwreck 3000 years ago when Greece was ruling the Italian south, not stolen like the Acropolis in the British museum
Good luck. The Getty Museum being in California probably doesn't give a shit what a European court has to say
Seeing how they presented arguments in court, they seem to care a little bit
Aaahh! So that's where all the Getty Images come from!
So do you hire a repo man for that kind of thing?
