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.

The earth should really start just domain blocking X. Nothing of value ever happens there.
Where we should really start is yeeting Musk and his supporters out of the fucking solar system (shooting them into the sun would be a waste of perfectly good delta-v)
Trebuchet the rich into a cliffside from point blank range
Yeet the rich...
Or just give them submarines. Perhaps they’d be good people deep down.
*oceangate submarines
He could pay to go there. He’s all horny for space anyway. So go. Don’t let the door hit you on the ass on your way out.
So many points 🤣🤣🤣🤣 for knowing delta-v
On the other hand… do you want them getting out there to infect the rest of the galaxy?
Who said anything about giving them supplies?
I'm sure the free market will solve this! (yes, /s)
In 3001 (sequel to 2001) they were able to revive Frank Poole. And in three body problem they thought they could revive just his head — I’m NOT taking any chances!!
🤣🤣🤣
In old days we would have admins block sites on their networks. I guess this time everyone looks up to the government to do it
The issue is that reasonable people become irrational with anonymity and the culture Musk has built up on X feeds right into that. I think X is a social danger that people are unable to safely consume without being extremized.
Greater internet fuckwad theory still holds true.
You can do it on your own machine, but an ISP doing it would violate the now reinstated Net Neutrality rules.
Just add
To your hosts file. No more Twitter.
