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.

The method would include making raising children as close to a financially neutral option as possible. That includes not punishing parents for taking off time from work, and making sure business does not hold that time against parents when making decisions about promotions and other advancement.
The reason that this focuses on the 'native' population is that the idea is to address the population change without relying on immigration. If the population already in the country is self sustaining, then any benefits of immigration will be on top of a stable system instead of being a necessary component that deincentivises helping other countries that are common sources of immigration. Why help a neighbor if their situation is the reason that they immigrate to your country to prop up your economy?
I see what you mean, if you made housing more affordable for instance more people would be financially able to have kids. But my (completely non evidence based) assumption is that people in Europe (eg) aren't not having kids for this type of reason. I don't even know if I'd do it if you gave me a whole salary for it.
Honestly I don't see your point about immigration so much. It's not realistic that a country would get so much in aid (especially from a single country) that people won't want to emigrate to somewhere else. People want to have a better life, and they will still want that whether or not there is some international aid coming in. And it would be pretty fucking heartless to not give necessary aid so you drive people out of their home country and into yours. I don't think politicians are saints but that would be a special type of evil.
The alternative, imo, respects everybody's wishes. It's up to you if you have kids, and then just don't turn away people who want to work in your country, contribute to society and prop up the birth rate a little. Seems like a win win.
