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.

Fuck Biden and Fuck Trump. At this point Biden full well knows the Genocide he's in for. He seems to care more about flattening Rafah than "saving American Democracy".
The libs thinking they can shame people into voting for Genocide are the reason Biden thinks he can keep doing this.
We're not shaming anyone for voting for genocide. We're shaming you for helping usher in an American Dictatorship, as if you "abstaining from voting" is going to do literally anything but make things worse. But you do you, absolve your consciousness, and when you've lost all your rights and freedoms, you can at least be proud that you didn't vote Biden. Go you! I'm sure a Trump Dictatorship will be fan-fucking-tastic!
Go read up on Project 2025, and then go read up on the early days of Hitler's rise to power, pay attention to the distinct parallels.
Edit: This is what you can expect from our Christian State Dictatorship: https://www.meidastouch.com/news/texas-republicans-call-for-execution-of-women-who-receive-abortions-ivf-in-horrifying-video
The choice between Genocide Joe and a fluorescent narcissist gangster, what a great democracy, eh?
100% agree. It fucking sucks. This is why we should be pushing for Ranked Choice Voting. We would be free if this bullshit.
This is the solution. The problem is convincing the politicians, which would likely as a consequence be replaced by a third ("independent") party candidate, or face a tough reelection, to make a law causing their own demise
There's entire posts just for the purpose of browbeating people who don't want to vote for Joe Biden. You're literally responding to a comment one down from such an argument. And then you continue to do it in your comment.
Stop gaslighting people.
I don't think you understand what gaslighting is. :/
No this is gaslighting. Even to the questioning if someone knows what gaslighting is.
