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.

Games have become so dialed in on pressing all kinds of dopamine buttons, a lot of adults can't regulate their gaming habits.
There's a lot of exploitative mechanics that have no point beyond fiddling with people's hind brains that could be outlawed at a governmental level.
Beyond that, I agree, parents need to stay on top of their kids, as they always have. But video games along with tech in general has become a way to make a kid keep to themselves for hours, so they don't bother you, and a lot of parents are taking this easy way out, at the expense of the development of the child.
Most of the people in my circles are internet refugees. Practically raised by the internet, parents left them alone on the computer as long as they were quiet.
It's honestly just actual child neglect. Tying up your kid in the basement also stops them from complaining. A pacified kid isn't automatically a healthy kid.
Yeah I completely agree. Most of these people have serious issues that they will suffer with for life. Just because it was bad to interact with their folks.
Yeah l think, honestly, one of the biggest issues we have is society giving less time to children and letting the digital babysitters get more and more control.
It takes a village to raise a kid but no one is allowed to tell anyone that they are wrong anymore or hold a consistent view of reality. And it's sooo easy to just put a kid in front of a screen.
Parents don't want to "give up their lives" to raise kids anymore and need them to be quiet or decoration. It's just getting worse.
You act like 'children should be seen and not heard' was in the distant past.
And yet they were also expected to participate in what their parents were doing and that was in social settings which meant being around and not disruptive.
Which like has its own issues but at least they weren't handed the talking screen and headphones and told to catch up later. There has always been neglectful parents but there is a difference.
For my generation, it was mostly TV. Same for Xers and Boomers, though they were also allowed to roam with no adult supervision. The habit of neglecting children is ingrained in our society, and computers are just the newest method.
