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.

And in America's next election, we get to pick between a guy who has spent 50 years saying nothing will change his unwavering loyalty to Israel and has been calling himself a Zionist ..
Or a crazy criminal that will support Israel just as hard because Palestinians are just a shade more brown and his daughter he wants to fuck asked him too.
There's literally zero option for an American who doesn't want to support one of the worst genocides in modern history.
Because even the lesser evil will go around Congress to "sell" the weapons used to do this, for our own taxpayers money he just gave them.
And before anyone says it'll stimulate the economy, it would even more if we spent it on social programs, with the added benefit of not funding a genocide.
And you just discovered the simple fact that you don't really have democracy in the US, or at least not a healthy one. How a two-parties political system is called democracy boggles my mind.
Stimulating the economy is a nebulous pie in the sky. Does stimulating the economy improve the lives of everyday people? Not really.
Cheap public transportation would be good for the people, but everyone buying a new EV would "stimulate the economy." How much is it going to take before people understand that their wellbeing is, at best, only weakly tied to the economy?
Don't forget Joe signed over more land for oil and gas than trump did. Y'all never had a chance
The CIA won't tolerate another Trump presidency, not while Biden happily bends over for them.
