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.

Republicans: Genocide and ethnically cleanse Palestinians
Democrats: Genocide and ethnically cleanse Palestinians
Democrat voters: It's all the third party voters' fault
Hey by the way, you know what would have been great? If the Democrat candidate wasn't a corrupt psychopath who was complicit in genocide. They could have ran anyone. But they chose an actual ghoul, and as a result the Republicans won. The Democrat voters could have gone, wow, this candidate is trash and won't win, let's all pick someone else - anyone else, as long as they have a soul and heart still beating in their chest - that actually can win against Trump, to defeat the threat of fascism. But you guys didn't do that either. You pounded at your keyboard for the entire past year talking shit about the only people willing to do anything different than what they've been doing their entire lives, to make an actual genocide stop. They lost. You lost. We all lost. The only way this could have played out in our favor was with a candidate that could draw more votes (accounting for electoral college etc.) than Trump. There wasn't one. The Democratic party didn't give you one, you all talked yourselves out of voting for Stein or De la Cruz or literally anyone else, and so this happened. That's how it was destined. You're selectively choosing one of the infinite factors that led to this outcome to bicker about. You're just selectively choosing who you feel like you can blame, and ignoring the fact that there were millions of other people we all could have just collectively voted for, that we didn't. There's 50 times as many Democrats who had that option and DIDN'T exercise it. So not only did you vote for a losing candidate, but you compromised your morals while you did it.
And you know what else? We put in more research than you. That's a fact. We learned everything about every candidate. You all gobbled up the first smear or tired ass old "lesser of two evils" trope and then just did the same fucking thing you've been doing your entire lives, driving over to the voting booth and filling in "all blue", even a genocide being committed by those same people couldn't change your habits. We, the people who actually were following what was going on, did the research and knew just how guilty those politicians were, and we COULDN'T vote for them. It's the dumbasses who did zero research, red and blue, who keep putting them in power in the first place. That is the engine driving this empire. Not the 1% of political dissidents.
Can you not see that this system has literally weaponized your anger at it, towards the only people that OPPOSE it?
Thank you for trying to speak the truth even if all these sour people refuse to listen.
Replace Independents with Democrats, and the same is still true.
