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.

He’s only been in office for a few weeks, how the hell has he started a fungal zombie apocalypse already?!
Nah, that has been going on for a long time. It's just one more species of cordycipitaceae they discovered.
Yeah but my concern is Ireland is not south America. Global climate change it screwing us hard. Unless this is some random occurrence.
These aren't new to Ireland, though. Gibellula pulchra, a close relative to the newly discovered one here, has a worldwide distribution.
Noooo! Don't tell me that! NOOO!
Well pack it babe, we going to the north pole. No fungus there! Right? Guys? right?
About that.
god is giving us a sign, it's time to protest
50501
Do I even want to look up that number sequence?
Appears to be the 50501 protest thing 50 protests, 50 states, one day. It's a coordinated peaceful protest at each state capital against project 2025. https://50501.carrd.co/
Oh OK last time I check a number like that it was a hentai thing...
e621
Now that sounds like a battle ship location
That's a looong board.
But it's also the European food additive code for monosodium glutamate, which is a heck of a coincidence if that's not what they're intending to reference.
It's a digital version 😅
They picked a stupid time of year of they want any participation in the northern 1/2 of the US.
