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.

Oh yes because Trump would use our forces to do it instead.
Look, don't counter with 3rd party. That's literally throwing your vote away.
Biden is the only way to beat Trump. There are backwards racists in the Democrats too. You're not going to get support for anything than an old white guy until at least 2028....
Isn't what you're doing straight up "whataboutism"?
Not when presented with "vote him out." At that point, you have to look at what that realistically looks like. If just pointing out what's wrong with Biden, then bringing Republicans up would be. But if you're looking at the choice between the two, it only makes sense to talk about them.
See you in the camps!
Who are you to tell people they are throwing THEIR votes away?
A person with an understanding of math
Americans will vote for two genocide enabling people before they even realize that they always had a choice. You people are so brainwashed it's scary. The democracy you have is a farce
No matter what you think is the proper way to approach change, in the meantime you are better off not voting for the authoritarian.
Yup, and voting third party.
They are completely free to say that
I read it as it's not up to somebody else to decide if your choice of vote is a waste.
It's up to each person to decide what to do with their own vote.
Sure, they're free to say it and the other person is free to point out that it's not up to "Anonymous Internet Person" to decide what is the right way for me to vote.
From my point of view in a system that's nowehere as undemocratic as the US, these "things are the way they are, so we have to accept these constraints" kind of responses to that post sure look like the kind of passive acceptance of injustice so common in dictatorships.
Go ahead, throw your vote away!
Just don't cry when you're in the camps .
What camp? Is this related to the rape centers from a few posts back?
It's one of the possible activities. I'm looking forward to basket weaving.
Probably a place where there's a lot of concentration on finding solutions. You know, the final kind?
Just say "I don't care about Genocide I only care about my student loans. Fuck Arab babies they can all die if I get some money. I am as morally reprehensible as every single billionaire I condemn".
Take your mask off already and stop pretending.
Friend I don't want to be raped to death in a 2025 US concentration camp so I'm voting for Joe. I'm sorry this is what it's come down to for many of us.
Yeah they said this shit in 2016 and you're all still alive. You can drop the fear mongering act now and just say you want all Arabs to die.
Thank you for explaining myself to me. I have never been more ecstatic to be a woman than after hearing this enlightened kind sentiment.
I'm just glad you don't give a shit about babies, kids and women ACTUALLY being mass murdered by Biden.
Children's hospitals full of little kids with already blown off legs are being bombed by Genocide Joe just to make sure they all die. But your fears are the only thing that matter in this world.
It's hilarious you're pretending you care about "arab babies" while parroting bullshit about "Genocide Joe" to try to have some moral high ground. It's very obvious to everyone, you're probably just mad the "wrong" people are getting killed.
It's hilarious how much mental gymnastics you will do to justify a Democrat committing LITERAL NAZI STYLE GENOCIDE.
I thought voting for Biden was supposed to prevent this kind of shit from being happening. Both parties are foreign agents. You vote 3rd party or you vote Nazi.
If only the world were as black & white as you seem to believe. I can vote my heart in the primary; I'll vote to win and stop the progression of far right Christofascism in the general election.
I recommend you do the same if you actually care and aren't just trying to discourge Biden voters.
Are you implying Biden isn't a Christo Fascist? He said he is a Zionist himself. Biden is a Nazi. Either the dems replace him or it's third party.
Because any other Democrat would have your vote right? What a joke.
Yeah this totally isn't about the Genocide who cares about Genocide dude. We all do a little Nazi shit now and then am I right Dem Heil xdd
You just told a woman genuinely afraid of getting raped to get over it and that she actually hates xyz people.
You need to pause for a moment and ask yourself where you've gone wrong.
You just justified Nazism and Genocide by saying "vote for Genocide Joe else something bad might happen to me instead of brown people I don't know!"
Ask yourself that question. Where are your morals?
Hitler would have loved the current Americans in WW2.
So what are you gonna do genius? Vote for Trump which will make it 100x worse? A third party is never gonna have enough votes to win right now.
Yeah, when the entire country believes "third party isn't going to win, I have to vote for genocide :(" then obviously nothing will change.
Dude, chill.
I hate Trump but the stuff these people make up is absurd. How does voting for Trump lead to rape centers; except for the ones that already exist for Mexicans...
This is a good video if you're asking in good faith.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1M6CXhUS-x8
It's an interesting video. I suppose you are referring to the part where Trump does not care about your rights if he considers you part of the opposition? Is this going back to keeping the Mexicans in cages or something else?
Once an enemy or vermin has been dealt with, a different scapegoat is chosen. Eventually you or someone you care about becomes the scapegoat. The point being to recognize it before it gets to you and stop it.
Oh yes Trump, well known for opposition to authoritarian overreach.
