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.

Curious downvotes on this one.
Lemmy is a quite misogynistic place.
Its often no fun to be a woman on here. They might rip you apart, if you say something slightly feminist (depending on where you say it). Made me think of leaving several times already.
Please don't leave! Keep speaking your mind, if enough of us stick it out we can drown out the users like Captain Asshole here.
I understand if you do, but I hope you won't. I like this place despite its flaws and I hope it won't turn into a far right community.
Block anyone or any instance you find regularly being outright misogynistic and slowly, but surely, create a better place for yourself.
The problem is that blocking only solves the smaller issue and basically sweeps Lemmy's sexism under the rug instead of addressing why sexism is so prevalent in leftist spaces. And I don't think it's up to women to educate men on this, it's up to men to educate other men on this. We have to keep in mind how exhausting it is for women to 1) deal with sexist shit and then 2) basically be told they have to teach men about [traumatic things that they've been through and shouldn't have to re-experience by talking to men]
Wouldn't sexism be even more prevalent in right-wing spaces? Or would you say that it's pretty evenly distributed over the political spectrum?
Sexism is prevalent in right-wing spaces as well. I'd say it's more prevalent and predictable in right wing spaces, but it's still prevalent and IMO far more disappointing in leftist spaces from people who supposedly claim they're progressive.
The entire fucking Internet is a "right wing space" at this point.
Please don't leave. We all need you here. (But I understand if you do...)
You're not alone! Please stay!
It's not just misogyny. I'm watching the sweetest, most kind user getting ripped to shreds for posting articles from MSM about candidates across the spectrum, who are of neither major party. The toxicity is wild , self-justification more wild. In the short time I've been on Lemmy, it's "gone to hell in a fast car and keeping it hot," as I hear a user elsewhere say. about certain topics. I'm quickly becoming of the opinion the up and down votes get discarded and a randomized ranking algorithm put in place.
It fucking sucks. This place was great shortly after the reddit exodus. Now it's just as bad, if not worse.
As a man, are there any fucking online spaces that haven't been co-opted by right wing interests? I'm sick of this "red pill" bullshit infecting the minds of young men in every corner of the internet. Nowhere is safe. I wish they'd crawl back into the holes they came out of.
We are going fucking backwards and it's infuriating.
I still have hope.
On reddit there were also a lot of right wing nuts, incels and raging misogynists, but they tended to concentrate themselves into their own subs and echo chamber bubbles. If you kept yourself away from the "Manosphere" (like r/incels, r/MGTOW, r/MensRights..), the likes of TheDonald and the equaly disturbing misandrists of r/FemaleDatingStrategy it wasn't that bad.
I hope this wave of toxic behaviour towards each other is just some kind of growing pain and these toxic people will find themselves seperating into their own communities wigh time.
Lemmy is filled with the most opinionated kind of Redditors and Russians it can fit on the servers, it's a moderator miracle it didn't go full incel.
Hopefully it was from the perspective that the comment is not helpful in reducing the number of murders of women.
I don't know, I don't personally see the harm in merely motivational comments or rants. But I thought it might be that.
I honestly have no idea how any Lemmy comment might be helpful at reducing the murders of women.
Maybe if they proposed some policy, or shared some stats and facts, instead of merely a statement of hope.
Wtf are you talking about. What a weird thing to write. I'm very much not OK with being murdered thank you very much.
