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.

I know everyone uses this word now, but I’ll never think of anything except Nazis circa 2016.
:(
I'm sorry for triggering that association. A lot of internet culture has been co-opted by those jerks. I didn't mean it that way.
They took the pepe frogs for a while too, but I've been seeing them come back. Nature is healing.
Fuckkkk thatttt, pepe is still alive and well on twitch, and racists are not tolerated (at least in any of the channels I frequent). They can pry that frog from my cold, dead hands.
Based.
But seriously the guy who drew that frog was just a cartoonist and he was appalled that it became a hate symbol. I hope he sees it redeemed.
Didn't he kill that character off for that very reason?
I'm glad people are reclaiming him finally. He was never a racist symbol.
Yeah. I'm old and have been on the internet since well before the creation of both Pepe and based. That's why I still use this term. I think we should try to reclaim these things - if we let them change our behavior, we lose.
No one can take the pepe frogs from us
Nah, I’m glad to know you didn’t know. I’m also glad I’m not alone.
…2016 will not be soon forgotten
I've tried to get my thinking to update, but I too just think Nazi when I see it.
It's been an internet thing for long before 2016 (at least mid 00s in my memory), so I don't associate it with them.
I've slowly realized that many people on the internet use it casually, but like you, I always assumed they were alt-right (new main right) or libertarian at a minimum for a long time.
Dude, this is off-topic, but how the fuck did you get a blue name? Is it just emojis, or can you actually use color codes for that?
It's emojis
On your instance account settings you can change your display name. I used a fancy text generator on Google.
Thanks. This was a terrible (and wonderful) power to give users.
It was taken away from the alt-right, this is a good thing.
Sorry, but that's on you. The word shouldn't be associated with them in your head because then that would give them a W.
Leftists everywhere use that word as well.
