Rules:

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.

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.

She voluntarily chose to go join ISIS after watching videos of people being beheaded, you make it sound like she was kidnapped off of the street and shipped to the middle east against her will.

The British government bears responsibility for letting that happen to one of their citizens either way. The responsible thing to do is to imprison them yourselves, not leaving them stuck in a ramshackle detention camp in rebel held territory in Syria.

@Deceptichum you should take a look at the wikipedia article about the girl that was taken the previous year, it's quite eye ipening about the methods this cult used to prey on these kids.

The worst part is it could have been prevented - her father warned police that these other 15 year olds were at risk and all they did is give the kids themselves a letter to bring to their parents.

Just a completely unrelated fyi here: On lemmy you don't need to tag a user when you're replying directly to one of their comments, they'll automatically get a notification in their inbox.

@_dev_null thanks, I know.

The reason it turns up in my comments is because kbin autopopulates our comments with tags, and I don't always remember to check where I am and delete that before I post.

On Kbin itself they're handy. Kbin integrates with Mastodon and those guys kind of need @tags to follow our conversation threads when they come to discuss our posts.

And on lemmys, the @ is useful for me to keep track of who I'm saying what to anyway at times because our threading can't handle some of the really big lemmy comment sections.

Ah til, thanks for taking the time to enumerate that for me!

I'm on Mastodon. I don't need the @s . I delete them from my auto populated comments.

The threading turns out fine

@bigMouthCommie good to know! Maybe it's just at my end that it gets messed up.
