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.

Oh well.
So who's having burgers tonight? Maybe with bacon too.
Wow so cool how you're destroying the planet bud
By eating a burger? Jesus christ give your head a shake.
Why don't you go harass some plastic manufacturers and oil companies and leave people alone man? Christ
I don't see how that original comment was any different from the dickweeds that think rolling coal is a great way to troll the libs. "Doing this thing is bad for everybody and we should stop" --> "oh yeah I'm gonna do it even more and brag about it" is intensely obnoxious behaviour.
Go ahead and eat your burger or whatever. Sure, there are bigger targets to make. But bragging about it in a thread about how it's harmful is top shelf assholery.
I had mini burgers as an appie, with bacon, then had a crispy tofu bowl.
Why choose? Just eat tasty food!
Because meat is very destructive and cruel..?
No, meat isnt.
How people treat animals can be, meat isnt destructive or cruel. Its just meat. Im very much in touch with the natural world and guess what? All life feeds on other life. And it is usually brutal and violent.
But my point that you missed or intentionally ignored is that I chose to not have some other form of protein for my entree and instead chose to have a vegan dish. Which was fucking delicious. And people need to see that our choices matter and that it isnt some horrible thing to eat tofu. Im okay with eating the flesh of animals Its cool if you arent comfortable with that. But its one of the most natural things you can do to continue existing. And since i was never given a choice on whether i wanted to exist, I will not be shamed in doing something that our ancenstors have done for survival for hundreds and thousands of years
