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.

Turns out that I made some people mad (ok, really really mad) and they follow me around to downvote, regardless of subject. Then they post stats of how many downvotes I get. A post in this very community that was removed for it. Look at how obsessive this dude got listing every single thing I've said and done LMAO. That's some hate dedication: https://lemmy.world/modlog/2840?page=1&userId=1699372
Weird, I know. But it is what it is. They had a big "Fuck That Horrible Coward, Universal Monk" party when I got a two-week ban in a community (for posting duplicate article from different sources): https://lemmy.world/post/21115183
Not worth visiting the link unless you are really bored and want to see a very passionate crowd celebrating my demise. Just the usual boring "oh the guy's a troll since he's not voting with us. He's probably paid by Putin!! Send him to the hounds!!!" nonsense. :)
I advocated voting third party in the US election. Community NOT amused. To put it lightly! lol
So yeah, that's why when you see post from me, they'll be downvoted really fast. Those guys really really hold a grudge. But hey, at least this is only -6 right now. Usually, it gets to the -30's really fast, so maybe they are finally tired of following me around. lol
Dude, you got it for that AND a history of trolling, even just after coming off a previous temp ban for trolling. Quit lying.
Check the link. Mods said it was for duplicate article. They made a post about it and said it right there in the post!! Lol
How am I lying if I said what they said!? And it's a temporary ban. The link is right there, friend.
I know you're mad and want it to be a permaban for trolling. But it's not. Accept it. Lol
I'm still doing plenty of posting of articles that I find interesting, and I'll be back in that sub in 12 days, so don't worry, I'm not going anywhere.
Thanks, friend! :)
Yes, and it's clear that they wouldn't have done an outright temp ban for the length of time they did if you didn't already have the history you did. Quit painting this as "They couldn't handle me voicing my opinions" when it was entirely "This guy just won't stop trolling". No one really cares about your opinions, they cared about you trolling the community. You trying to make a martyr of yourself is ridiculous.
Dude, you're clearly being super unfair here. They are just posting articles, MAN!

It's clear that if they thought I was a troll worthy of a permaban, they would have permabanned me. But instead the temp banned me for posting duplicate articles. Just like the link said. And just like I said.
And since I'm not permabanned, I guess they don't think I'm the troll that you think. IN FACT, reading through those comments in that thread, one of the mods also mentioned that many of the comments that people considered me "trolling" where in fact, a result of other people trolling me. And there are STILL people getting comments removed for being uncivil towards me and I'm not even in that community right now! lmao
If I'm so bad, you could just block me. Instead, you are proving everything I said was right, and everyone here can see that. Thanks, friend! :)
Ah, tx.. and please don't vote 3rd party. Trump would be really bad for the whole world. So this is a time to solidly oppose him. The whole fascism thing would be bad if it happened in the US.
The poster is obnoxious, posted obvious flame bait and starts fights in the comments.
That’s why some people downvote them on sight.
I obviously read the comment or post and vote based on its merits but look at their bio if you’re interested in their views.
