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.

Isn’t making up guys that don’t exist so you can feel intellectually superior just the best?! 😀
Found you. Copy and paste this back to me:
I'm stealing this Idea :P
It’s free!! Tell your friends. Shake off a hexbear or an ML with words they can’t say back to you!
Isn’t making up guys that don’t exist so you can feel intellectually superior just the best?! 😀
Say it. Wimp.
Why? Like what do you think I stand to gain from posting something because you told me to? Lol
You know exactly why I want you to say it.
Okay so am I right to assume you’re just looking for a reason to justify your dismissive smug attitude? Because that’s genuinely what I think you’re doing.
That is the pot calling the kettle black. ;)
I just don’t believe you can type it. Any excuse not to answer the question, that was part of the original joke! Pretty spot on so far.
What does that mean? Do I not have fingers? Omg am I an AI stuck in a simulation and my code literally prevents me from typing out some magic spell for no discernible reason?! 😲
Or maybe you started this thread by taking swings at windmills and as a consequence I just don’t take you seriously enough to feel the need to prove anything to you. I’m amazed you haven’t considered that.
But hey I get it. That tinfoil hat sure is shiny and you wear it well. It would be such a shame if you decided to take it off.
Now you’re just rambling.
Goodbye.

Sorry I don’t click links from parlor pinks.
Lol wow you really went retro with that one.

Your reply wasn’t even original?! Come on now. I know you can do better than that.
Tiananmen Square Massacre really happened

Man, they really can't seem to post that, even just to "debunk" it. I wonder why? Is there some kind of auto-ban? Some of them really do believe what they're saying.
Probably the phrase is monitored by their government, and will land them in jail.
They just did it, so apparently this one is not actually Chinese.
How do you think that would even work? Do you have any clue how absurd that sounds? It’s like John Birch Society level paranoia.
There’s no point jumping through hoops for someone whose mind is already made up about you. It’s more fun for everyone if we just get into emoji fights and post snarky comments.
Yeah, but like, if you would put in a little quote of it, and then explain why it's wrong, the TSM couldn't be used as some kind of magic charm like this. As it is, everyone's thinking you must be under duress.
Do people seriously think that? Chinese censorship doesn’t work like that. They don’t care if one of their citizens uses a VPN to post about how the Tiananmen Square Massacre actually happened anonymously on some random foreign website. It’s baffling to me that anyone would think that they do.
The reality usually is that asking to copy and paste something vaguely tangential to the conversation at hand just comes across as dismissive and infantilizing. Most people don’t want to jump through hoops to be taken seriously and so they don’t engage further. Assuming that they don’t want to engage because they’re under duress is just letting your confirmation bias run wild.
There you go!
I was starting to wonder. Maybe it's confirmation bias, but in my experience you folks don't tend to shy away when flamed.
I’ll only jumps through hoops for you CanadaPlus 😉
Well I think like most people online MLs aren’t above posting snarky replies or acting dismissive especially when confronted by the same attitudes. Most know that countering disinformation or trying to organize for their political aims online is generally a waste of time.

Yep, you got burnt.
Say it or get out of here lol.
Burnt! I’m insulted. Those drumsticks have clearly been roasted to perfection. Ignore the fact that I only have one per chicken.
One for you, one for me, comrade. 🤝
Most days you beat the strawman. Some days the strawman beats you.
