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.

Geez, they couldn't write an article about the strike and the issues rather than how "runway-ready" she looks in a t-shirt?
Right? What a ridiculous article. We are all a little more stupid now.
Right? Margot Robbie is a fucking stunner, not like we didn’t all already know that. It’s not like she played Barbie or anything.
We’re the only known example of intelligent life in the universe, and we’re squandering it on these kinds of head-ass takes..
"Ohai, did you know, hot people can be workers too!"
The real question is, are hot people allowed to shitpost on an obscure tech forum?
Well we seem to be getting away with it, so ...
I do it as a service. The more chronically online I am, the fewer people are hurt by being distracted by my irresistible in-person allure. I'm sure you relate.
Yes, because I've seen your posts elsewhere and you are definitely intelligent enough to hold your own.
No objection to you being hot (not sure how to say that without being creepy, but oh well). My objection is only that they could reference the strike first rather than what you are wearing.
Woah, I had no idea you were on Lemmy, that's fucking awesome!
Are people actually thinking you’re the real Margot Robbie?
She obviously is. She's said so dozens of times! And really, who would just go on the internet and lie like that? ;)
Not esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Elise Robbie, that's for sure.
Is the woman to her right the actress that plays Nynaeve on Wheel of Time?
It's an article on a fashion site. And it does inform the average person all they really need to know about the strike in two sentences.
If anything, they wrote the article specifically to draw attention to the strike. She's wearing an oversized T-shirt ffs.
Geez, people. Feminine magazines have always been like this. Everyone knows that we women are incapable of caring about or understanding anything except clothes, diets, and home decor, so we must appeal to these interests rather than talking about this difficult boring stuff like writers' strike. What exactly do these writers do anyway? Why are they striking rather than writing? It sounds boring. Please tell me more about Margot's outfit, which I will wear after losing 50lb.
Well you see what happened was she was given the exact same t-shirt that everyone else has on, and then she put it on. I'm not sure we'll be able to successfully recreate such magic.
Gloria Steinem is rolling in her grave and she's not even dead.
Well, the real writers are on strike so...
Yeah I know, not the same type of writers.
