A place for Australians and friends to share news from the other countries. Like all communities here, we discuss topics from the Australian perspective.
If you're looking for a global /c/worldnews instead, search for the many options on federated instances.
Rules
- Follow the aussie.zone rules
- We are not a generic World News clone. News must be relevant to Australians and our region. Obvious disregard will earn an warning and then a ban if continued. (If an article isn't from an Oceanian news outlet, and it doesn’t mention Australia, then it’s probably off-topic)
- Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
- Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

MODERATORS
Yeah I sorta agree. I think following government policy rather than making their own decision is a good way to avoid them being responsible for any really bad political blunders.
But at the same time, yeah, it would be kinda nice if they could take a stand. Not on any seriously complicated issues like Kashmir, but when it's just a jingoistic fascist doing jingoistic nationalism? Yeah, it'd be good if they put their foot down and said "no, that's BS, and we're not going to enable it". For the same reason I don't like Facebook hiding behind "it's free speech" when excusing the (entirely technically legal) hate speech they allow on their platform.
