Specifically, Rule 2: No Illegal Content

Which country?

The rainbow in the banner isn’t legal in some of the more backwards counties, so which country’s laws are we going by?

I think Lemmy.world is based out of the Netherlands, so, are we using Dutch laws?

Edit: The rules were updated, and the old Rule 2 is gone.

    Fair point. I didn’t update them properly after I had the community dumped on me. I’ll have a better version at some point today

    Sometimes we need to do stuff that is illegal in certain countries to further our rights. I get that this is a tricky rule to implement, but there are countries that it is illegal to be queer. So our very existence is illegal. Don’t be afraid to break a law or two.

    I know that MAP people like to try to glom on to queer rights, and I’m completely against that, but we shouldn’t fear fighting against injustice when it’s illegal to live a life of love against hate.
