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.
-
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.

This is egregious big government overreach impeding business and free trade
It's countering money laundering by the IRGC. Read up.
You're talking to a troll. Don't engage.
Thanks for the heads up. They're everywhere on this site apparently. Playing fucking mind games and spreading misinformation on every post.
God Bless America! 🇺🇸
Well, isn't that what they said? With universal free trade, there would be no concept of dirty money, no money laundering, no need to counter anything... /s
It's not even close to what the person I responded to said. What the hell are you talking about?
Sorry for not being clear, let me fix that real quick.
Lmao. Got me.
Money laundering for the sale of this oil. The money laundering is required because of US-imposed sanctions.
I can't stand for the free market being impeded by big government tyranny
Free market??? What the hell world are you living in?
He's a troll. Ignore him.
I hate that there's some people you can now easily recognize by name as idiots and trolls. But I guess that's how it goes.
His name is MrBusinessMan. Its a joke account. Just read those comments as a joke, he's making fun of the wealthy.
The free market of ideas decided fuck around with human rights and find out you've made a powerful enemy.
