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.

Of course they blocked it. Apparently the US doesn't criticize genocide anymore.
No, its a full throat-ed support of genocide. Its Joe Biden doing this.
If you don't want Trump for president in 2024, then call for Joe Biden to do better.
This isn't about Trump voters what-so-ever.
This is about keeping the paper thin support that Biden has in place. He's floundering, utterly right now.
He needs every scrap of help he can get to win this election, and his policies are costing him support in key demographics.
Biden's only support has always been "I'm not Trump". Nobody is changing their mind on if they're voting for Biden because of little "scrap(s) of help".
His policies aren't costing him support anywhere, it's a common whataboutism that Trump supporters spout to try and claim that Biden is slipping, trying to further erode poll numbers.
100,000 voters in Michigan just voted 'No Confidence', because of his policies around Gaza and Israel, or approximately 10% of the vote.
Biden can not afford to lose 10% of the votes he got in 2020. He will lose if he does, and especially not in swing states (like MI).
Yeah, in a primary. Those voters will fall right back in line during election season. They always do.
They didn't in 2016.
2016 it wasn't Trump v Biden now was it. Hillary Clinton was her own worst enemy. That's a whole fucking can of worms all on its own. She was responsible for the grave she dug. Fake-ass I carry hot-sauce with me everywhere, please-like-me-black-people Hillary Clinton...her woes had nothing to do with Primary voters not falling in line and more to do with her being an unlikeable cunt.
Hi! I voted for Biden last time. I am not this time because of this shit.
If you would like, feel free to read through my comment history to see exactly when that changed.
I may have come here during the Rexodus but I’m fairly decent commentor, in quantity, at least
When the alternative is that traitorous twat, that support is one hell of a trump card (sorry not sorry)
But it's one he's wasting by basically supporting a genocide.
I voted for him on his not-Trump platform last time and I won’t vote for him this time unless he stops this shit in Israel. Either he shapes up or steps down from the primaries… or we risk Trump again.
