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.

Seriously, it’s everywhere these days, and is so hard to stomach.
“Who is actually producing the carbon and the pollution in the world? It is the consumers of our oil.” -a big dumb idiot quoted in the article.
That’s such an absurd way of looking at things. Tobacco, guns, highly-addictive pharmaceuticals, alcohol, etc. etc. have all been on the wrong side of history with this kind of blame-the-consumer deflection.
It’s hilarious that it needs to be said, but: I can’t consume something if you don’t produce it.
Yeah like no shit we buy it we dont have that many options and in America there is none. So yeah, we do buy the shit. The very details of our lives are structured around this, and until that changes. Until our physical spaces change to accommodate people instead of cars, we will never kick this habit. Because you can't. Its like telling an addict to kick her poison while being totally encapsulated by it every day. But its worse than that, because I can't get my kids to school and myself to work on time without one with how my city is designed and serviced.
The US is increasing the amount of energy generated from fossil fuels. It's increased by more than 40% since 2010. This isn't a case of "oopsie woopsie," it's entirely intentional and a part of policy.
Its cartoonishly evil at this point. "Ho ho ho? This here is destroying the planet? The only planet in the known universe thay supports our lives? Lets fuck it up for billions, which we consequentially can't spend after the destruction of the society that invented it."
Its asinine. The most powerful people on this planet are in a race for the title of Lord of Ash. What the fuck is going on. We can't seriously be thinking that what we do has zero effect. We can't seriously barrel past every warning sign without a care. We can't have the great human race strangle itself in the cradle. But here we are, watching as a few thousand rape the world and get away with it.
