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.

I remember when McGregor was on top and I would tell people to stop cheering this racist, abusive shitbag. And I would get downvoted for it
Look how many people tuned in to watch Tyson and Paul fight, giving more money to those Trump loving douchebags
Tyson has been a meme so long that people forgot he was a convicted rapist. I had people on threads going "he's a rapist? Source" meanwhile I thought it was common knowledge.
By the way I wonder if Tyson is remorseful for his crimes. Here he is speaking about his victim years later:
Sounds like a remorseful, lovely person /s
Im not sure people who get punched and kicked in the face without any protection is where people should be looking for role models.
I teach martial arts and often get asked (mainly by children haha) if I've won any fights, or been in any fights, etc. (No to either lol)
I always emphasize that martial arts is awesome, potentially great for protecting yourself, but isn't the same as "fighting people", and to get "good at fighting", real fighting, in civilized society, requires an exposure to giving and receiving violence that is really unhealthy on your soul, and you likely want no part in it.
Same thing over here. I also said it about that Tate guy.
There's a few I currently call out and get downvoted for but it's only a matter of time. I always used to call out Kutcher as well, cause I remember the creepy interviews and Punk episodes, but since he had an anti trafficking charity, I would get downvoted for saying he was a closeted creeper. By the way it's funny looking back Topher Grace was looked at as an asshole because he'd avoid hanging out with Wilmer, Ashton and Danny. He mentioned he and those guys had different interest and values and People would say he was stuck up. Now it looks like he was the sane one who wanted nothing to do with that creepy trio.
Never meet your heroes. Please tell me Fury is okay at least.
"On top" is very subjective. Billions of people couldn't give less of a fuck who he was and is, including me. Even ignoring how it was always obvious he's a bad person, couldn't care less.
I'm not a modern UFC or MMA fan either but McGregor is a household name beyond MMA. He's in movies. Again I never watch MMA but I knew who he was just cause you couldn't escape his publicity
I have even more respect for Khabib Nurmagomedov now. "I want to change his face". Of course Khabib is probably a douchebag too.
"I'll make him humble".
Lol. So bad ass.
