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
Banning one of the the biggest democratic parties to save democracy.
I wonder how that would go. It's the paradox that you have to be intolerant to intolerance.
There is no paradox.
Tolerance is a social contract that both guides and protects your actions. If you breach that contract by being a cunt then you are no longer afforded it's protections for the same.
Nazis demand you accept them while demonising others and will continue to take advantage of you being "tolerant" for as long as you allow it.
FTFY, there is nothing remotely democratic about those people.
They are not a democratic party
Google paradox of tolerance.
We banned the fascist party in my country for 20 years. It accounted something like 55-60 % of the votes, back in the day.
It didn't work well.
Which country? What happened when they tried?
Argentina. Peronism got proscribed for ~20 years (1955-1973). It's a lot more complicated than that cause it actually was fascist vs conservatives*.
Ellected governments had little to no real power cause +50% of the people were not allowed to vote, so the faction that started winning power was the military. Every excuse was a good one to take down the government and bring up another dictatorship.
*refined fascists
I'm not sure we can call Peronism fascist. While it was populist and nationalistic, it's missing that hallmark blood-and-soil (this land for our bloodline) aspect that really marks out fascist ideologies.
You can't really call yourself fascist if you're trying to say all your people are equal, you need to be trying to establish some sort of hierarchical order where these citizens are always better than those citizens.
Anybody can come to the party as long as you bring your own beer.
The AfD brought crack.
The last time they tried to ban a party in Germany was the NPD (another Nazi party) and at the end the Supreme Court decided the reason not to ban them, even though they were clearly unconstitutional , was because they were to few/insignificant (in the end they banned them from receiving party funding which still has a massive effect).
So you couldnt ban them because they were to small and you can't ban the AfD because they're to big? Just because enough people vote for a party doesn't mean they're not unconstitutional.
You getting downvoted shows how hypocrite the internet collective is. Democracy for everyone unless they don't like the result.
