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.

I mean, in all fairness, the Biden admin is actively aiding in this genocide. It doesn’t mean we can let trump be president. But we also can’t deny that Biden is very much pro Israel—but so is all of the establishment US. It’s the country that’s in bed with Israel.
Vote for Biden, vote for democrats. Because republicans are an active and vicious threat to far more than just Palestinians. They can’t be allowed to get their grubby fingers back on the levers of power. We can’t take more of their judges. They are one of the most dangerous groups for the future of the world. We cannot survive Republican climate policy.
This does not mean democrats are good on every single thing the republicans are terrible for. It’s shitty to have to vote for them because they are complicit in a lot of the major issues we face. But it’s necessary.
Nuance matters. Things aren’t as simple or black and white as people who love shouting their politics from behind a screen make them out to be. But republicans, especially with trump at the front of the party, cannot be allowed back in. Under any circumstances. But that doesn’t mean we can’t acknowledge that Joe Biden is complicit in the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Because it’d be dishonest to ignore it. It sucks, but we still need to vote for that asshole.
You know if you had more political parties you would have more choice for whom to vote, but your political system is hardly democratic in my opinion.
Not to mention that democracy should defend their voter's rights and not mega corporations rights.
