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.

There is a difference between keeping tabs on someone & stalking/harassment.
I don't like the Elon jet tracker stuff, I'm more a fan of privacy.

Except flight data has no expectations of privacy.
Your airplane is legally required to broadcast its location in the USA. For safety reasons. Everyone with a private jet has that private jet constantly broadcasting its location.

All your public comments have been replicated here thanks to Fediverse.
I presume you know about this, right? That's how this place works. Every server in the federation is copying, saving, and holding onto your posts. It'd be insane to be worried about this. Seriously.

I know what you're trying to say. But your analogy is pretty crap, so I'm not going to cede you the point.
Find a better analogy.

I know what you said because plenty of other people have made that crappy argument to me already. And like many others, they have come up across a brick wall of reality.
The long story short is: don't put your faith in Mr. Musk's arguments. If Mr. Musk new how reality worked, he wouldn't have been court-ordered to buy Twitter last year. His arguments may be echo'd across the internet, but they're astonishingly bad.
There's literally nothing illegal with the Elon FlightJet tracker. The only thing Musk has is control of Twitter, but the dude can just switch to Facebook, Mastodon and Threads and still keep publishing the flight information cause there's literally nothing illegal about it.
I literally never said there was
huh
