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.

This is literally the only humane way to keep everyone safe.
Ah funny play on words, but on a more serious note the far right still won the elections. They simply failed to gain the trust of any other party with which to form a majority coalition.
Removing them and sending them away is still a bit of an uphill battle as it stands.
No.
Getting enough monsters and idiots vote for them is still a bad thing, but that doesn't mean they won.
"Winning the elections" isn't being the single force that got the most votes individually.
That's first-past-the-post bullshit like they have in the US.
Those who win an election in a parliamentary government are those who can form a government.
I feel like there wasn't any need for clarification, my comment already explained how they failed.
My comment wasn't about how the current laws of Austria are but about how they ought to be in any country.
Hey my little armchair politician. Winning an election in Austria means shit all when it comes to forming a government. That is done on presidential orders.
The FPÖ nonetheless won the public vote. They are the largest faction in parliament and are very well used to being in the opposition.
You win the public vote when you get 51% of all the people who had the right to vote. That includes those who didn't vote.
If participation is only 50% of the voters, and you get 51% of that participation, you didn't get 51% of the votes, you got 25.5% of the votes.
And by this, I don't mean what the current laws consider "winning the public vote" in any particular country. I mean what they need to be for that to be really true.
Congratulations to Dara Ó Briain for becoming chancellor!
I don't get it.
Edit: oh, because he looks like Dara. If you soaked him in the tub for a few days.
Wow a crazy lack of actual Austrians in this thread by the looks of it.
Let's not be mistaken. The ÖVP/SPÖ/NEOs are a bunch of bastards.
We wasted so much time to form this government and in the end they still won't deliver.
No protection of social security, no gains in climate protection. No fix to high rents (Building more flats in a country that already has one of the highest levels of land sealing is not a solution but actually will just pour oil into the fire)
Just more of the ÖVP Bullshit we already have to endure for 36+ Years. We desperately need cutting reforms in many areas but sure as hell this government will not deliver it.
At least we don't have to listen to the Volkskanzler constantly.
As an Austrian, 100% this. SPÖ is the saving grace and the only reason that there is some semblance of social policies.
You cannot have a government without FPÖ or ÖVP. And out of those two I def. prefere ÖVP.
And yes I agree in most of the points and would also like to see an end to the ÖVP bullshit. however, there lies the fault with the voters who vote for ÖVP again and again.
