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.

MODERATORS
Every few elections I'm flabbergasted by the results the FDP achieves. Are people unable to remember the last time they were in power? It's always the same dumb play, for as long as I remember. They are unable to add anything besides lining their pockets and being in opposition ... to themselves.
they achieve their goals
which is exclusively sabotaging anything that might hurt the billionaire class :-)
I mean their election results. Who votes for them? At some point you have to realize you're not the one they work for.
They were also responsible for the demise of the Jamaica coalition.
But with this traffic light coalition we got more sinister powers at play. Springer press (Welt and Bild) drove a 2 year long smear campaign against The Greens (especially Habeck and Bärbock). Behind that stands essentially the fossil fuel industry (KKR, Koch Brothers, Heritage Foundation, The Republic, BlackRock). We got one of the most stable energy grids in Europe, only import 2% of our energy and export in return to european neighbors when the massively build out renewable energy is producing to much. We're not dependent on russian gas anymore. Broadband internet initiative is running (small villages get fiber now).
But yeah the automotive industry is struggling and Habeck already warned VW in 2019 that they have to invest in electric vehicles. Now they and suppliers plan massive employment reductions and closing of factories and everyone cries "The Greens are destroying the economy". VW made 23 billion revenue in 2023, btw.
CDU will continue to enable the far-right AfD (who wants to actually disassemble wind turbines) and reap all the merits of the Ampel and then destroy it for deals with the fossil fuel industry. Once in a lifetime chance we had.
Nothing to add, good abstract.
