Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

[Meta] has said she was fired for “poor performance and toxic behaviour”
I read this as:
Fuck Meta and fuck Zuckerberg. The sooner they both disappear into irrelevance the better.
How incredibly frustrating it must be to lose everything you own because you still have something like a conscience and inform the public about the sinister dealings of a corporation, but users still act as if nothing happened—and surely for the hundredth time.
Fuck all those conformist assholes who are too comfortable or too vain to leave this platform—they know full well who they're supporting with their goddamn selfies, mindless reels, and all that stupid shit.
All the corruption and the monopolies are only possible because consumers are so incredibly ignorant, so dull-witted and lazy.
I'm slowly but surely losing all faith in humanity.
Yeah in the real world, it's the bad people who almost always come out on top.
These just people with ideas. They're just like me and you when the smoke and cameras disappear
It's actually a really, really good book, I listened to the audiobook and was very impressed with it.
I feel kind of bad for pirating it now that she's being sued to bankruptcy.
You can still fix that guilt.
I still don't want to pay the publisher by buying a copy so I'll see if there's a way to buy direct from the author or just send equivalent cash directly for the copy I downloaded.
Sounds good, hope you do
