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.

The USA get one "we did something unthinkably stupid" free pass.
No way would they ever reelect that literal fascist after he all but tried to dismantle their institutions and install himself as a democratic dictator.
They're not that stupid, and if they are? We should all cut ties, don't want to be dragged down with the ship. But it won't come to that.
I know at least one person who, after saying they don't like Trump and agreeing that he has done several illegal things, said that they would rather have Trump as president than Biden again.
It's certainly not impossible that he gets elected again.
We are that stupid.
We really are. It’s still bad here
They used up all those passes during the Bush administration.
Remember when we thought Bush was the low point in American history, and it couldn't get more absurd than "Freedom Fries"? Good times.
Don't diminish what a shit bag Bush was.
At least Trump didn't invade a country and kill tens of thousands of people under false pretenses.
yet.
Believe it or not...and what you and others can't appear to accept... That orange man is in the past.
"Trump can't possibly get elected"
I think I've heard this one before...
they used up all those passes when they had to go to war over whether slavery is bad and should be banned
Wait until you hear what country started slavery in America.
...
Well, it's technically Spain, but you know.
I'm getting these vibes from this comment.

Which terrifies me.
Cutting ties with the most powerful country in the world? Not going to happen.
Honestly, how can anyone say he won't be elected again? Have we learned nothing?
Well for one thing he's not running against Hillary Clinton this time.
A good point but I still won't rule out anything
Yeah, don't get complacent, but don't listen to the sky-is-falling doomsayers that spam every political thread either. The Republicans have been doing poorly in every election since 2018, and between the chaos in the House and the law finally catching up with Trump things aren't looking good for them in 2024.
