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.

It's got to be as good as anywhere else within Europe BC of shared borders.
He defenetly had help from the inside. I mean I can't fly from Greece to Portugal without showing my id 2 times at least
I have been flying in the EU/schengen around 100 times in the last ten years. I have shown my ID very few times:
Outside of that, I have never shown my ID to anyone when flying in the EU/schengen. I've only been to Portugal once though, but no ID check, and never been to Greece.
Online pre-boarding and automatic boarding gates, you barely even have a member of staff looking at you, let alone ask you for ID.
Weird the gate staff always asks me for id. And when I'm doing my baggage check in too
I guess it depends heavily on the airport. But gate staff usually say "have your ID and boarding card ready", but then its just that I scan the boarding card myself anyway. I usually do not check in luggage, if that is what you mean, and if I do, there are automatic dropoffs in a lot of places, and those that are serviced by staff just checks boarding card. Security gates only check boarding card. During covid lockdowns, some required that you upload your ID for online check-in, but I have not seen that since.
Right, but for nonEU trips you have to exit the Schengen zone, which comes with passport control, I have no idea how one can avoid that
Absolutely. That is really puzzling in this story.
I fly within the EU almost weekly, never had to show my ID. I think it’s very dependent on airline/country, and the individual standing at the gate, if they actually ask for it (though they of course can).
