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
.mlstands for Marxist Leninist. Not really, but that's how they use it. It is a generic instance, but it does have that reputation.I love their passion for issues, but their stubborn unpractical approach to solutions is frustrating.
Whaaat? Is there a list of other domains and what political agendas they stand for? Or what's a completely politically neutered instance?
Also there definitely was nothing like that in the description. I feel like I'm being profiled. What's going on
Neutral? Not sure there is. Maybe ask in one of the ask Lemmy communities. Tho generally Lemmy is left leaning as a whole.
Alright. Well everyone is entitled to their opinions. If we need to bring classism even into a federated environment, I guess it's all in human nature.
Idk if I'd say its that. Some instances cater to techies, others to lgbt, and others to anarchy. Yours just happens to be Marxist. It also happens that many critiques around the
.mlservers are that they don't care about practical results (often arguing against things that might give some relief). Your initial comment here is cutting against the grain of what that community typically advocate for.How do ".ml" communuties typically attract people from the same cut of cloth? It's not like such leanings are written somewhere?
Either your in on how
.mlis used in that context or promoted in other circles with those leanings. Tho I don't really know. Its also the instance that the main Lemmy dev manages.
