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.

Ah yes, the "I was poor once and now I'm rich so anyone poor person who is poor isn't trying hard enough" chestnut. Haven't heard that one from a conservative in a week or so. It usually isn't even true.
But sure, you and "most of your friends" both grew up "dirt poor" and are now all well off. That's very believable and I'm sure no one would doubt that story.
Do go on though, tell me about the time you had to live in a tent in the woods with your dad for a couple of years while you went to high school since you were "dirt poor" like the definitely dirt poor girl at the library where my wife works. We bought her a tent so she could have some privacy. I'm guessing that would be giving her an undeserved handout in your book.
Weird how you turned this into a discussion about an article into an attack on me. Since you have once again resorted to person attacks, I’ll end the conversation here.
Sorry, but me saying your claims are not believable is not a personal attack.
It’s your MO. You started attacking my political beliefs even though I never brought it up and it had nothing to do with the topic. You just wanted to make a personal attack. You can’t talk about issues, you always talk about people. It’s sad. This is the second time in two days you have went out of your way to talk about me instead of the topic.
Do better.
Please quote the personal attack you claim I have made. You won't be able to since I didn't make one, but let's see if you'll even try.
I am not going to play your troll game with you. I’ll just move on to someone who doesn’t make personal attacks.
As I thought, you didn't try.
I have no idea why people tell blatant lies about what is right there on the screen and then run away because they can't back them up, but it happens far more often than it should.
