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.

You understand most of risk DAFF is trying to mitigate is accidentally introduction of pests and dieses right?
And I can't fathom how so many people think customs have the man power to check every hamburger passagers may be inclined to hide in their luggage. Unknown and unprocessed meat is a risk, cheapest and safest way to reduce the risk is to ban it.
But you know, you guys continue to enjoy your airplane hamburgers along with rabies, brown marmorated stink bugs, khapra beetles, giant african snails and all the other shit we manage to keep out with strict quarantine laws.
Okay, it is banned. Tell them to throw it away. Don't fine the everliving shit out of them for a cooked sandwich.
That's generally the rule - if you're not sure, declare it, then if it's not allowed, it's binned. There are even signs all over the place through Aus (& NZ) customs saying exactly this.
If you don't declare it and it's found or it looks like you've tried to hide it (wrapped in luggage) then that's when you get in trouble for it.
I've worked in imports for 20 odd years and would have witnessed ABF & DAFF (and their previous 5 or 6 names) seize or hold hundreds of thousands of items. I've never seen a fine issued for a simple mistake, they're normally reserved for when there is deceit or concealment.
A risk of what? And why would that risk not apply to the people coming in who've been eating that meat?
All things that are not typically found in chicken sandwiches...
What risk from meat?? Where the fuck have you been for the last 4 years brah??
I'm still waiting. What's the risk from a cooked chicken sandwich and why would that risk not apply to the human eating that same meat?
Fucking hell you're a thick cunt.
Chicken meat can be contaminated with Avian Influenza. And why isn't the risk the same if a person ate it on the plane... Because humans aren't avian.
The law isn't made around 1 granny and her fucking sandwich right? All different meats contain different risks, the level of risk is different depending on the country of origin, type of supplier ie commercial vs personal use. It's how quarantine works lad.
No shit, that's why law enforcement almost always has some leeway to handle situations on a case by case basis. Lady coming in with a COOKED chicken sandwich from New Zealand? Not a biothreat.
Kind of funny you calling someone else a thick cunt when you're dead set on inventing/wildly exaggerating the existence of a threat.
