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.

Uhh... what?
Why are you saying I didn't suggest anything when I clearly did.
You can keep the snide remarks to yourself, btw. Try to discuss in a civil manner.
Your first post:
Your second post:
To the untrained eye, your posts appear to lack specificity or detail. Additionally, there does not appear to be a premise suggesting a solution to any problem. However, I'm certain a knowledgable scholar would quickly decipher the coded guidance you have provided us here.
Good sir or madam, perhaps you could elucidate us on which of your fine comments have suggested a solution. And also, perhaps you could also state the problem you believe your solution would solve. I shall wait here in the sitting room.
Good day to you.

You have linked to a comment that does not exist for me when I click the link. I am using the Connect App and am on Lemmy.World. I'm not sure how a removed post should look, but I'm guessing this may be it.
Try opening it in a browser.
Ok. That worked. Wow. I'll give you this... Your suggestion is fascinating. Not because I think it could work, but because you think it could work.
Also, I'm genuinely fascinated by your repeated use of some variation of "Wake me up when these problems get solved doing something I don’t suggest." You've punctuated numerous comments in the same thread this way. I really don't mean this to sound insulting at all. Are you, by chance, on the spectrum? If so, please forgive my previous abrasiveness as I thought you were just a conservative.
Yeah. Because until these problems get solved doing something I don't suggest, you don't really have a reason to think my suggestions are impossible to work.
Let me know what that happens and I'll concede. Not a moment before.
More insults, lol. Clearly you're not capable of engaging in a respectful manner. Probably because you don't feel confident in your argument and have to attack me personally instead of what I'm saying.
I see it all the time.
Gonna have to block you now. Goodbye.
It really wasn't meant as an insult. I am being genuine. I know folks on the spectrum and I thought your language pattern looked similar.
Maybe your ideas would work, and I actually like the creativity and drive behind them. I just doubt any country would put forth such immense effort and expense. Especially the west where we are so greed driven.
