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.

Why should they hold a moment of silence? Kirk wasn't a US official.
Did they hold a moment of silence when that minnesota dem senator was killed? Honestly curious if there is even precedent for them doing it even for a politician.
I'm sure they don't hold a moment of silence every time someone in the US dies of gun violence, since they would never be able to speak...
Exactly... Kirk was literally indoctrinating children into a hateful, murderous ideology. All of this praise is sickening.
Find the praise, find the sickos.
Only a dead Nazi is a good Nazi.
And that is more than just a slogan.
In my mind it stems from the realization that those who don't honour the social contract forfeit any protection granted by it.
Take it or leave it, but don't cherry-pick.
If you hate on people and want them dead, well, guess what other people may think of your right to live?
They laughed and mocked them. Insisting they were insane and got what they deserved. Even Trump said he did not call the governor to give condolences as he considered Tim Walz beneath him.
This is just one of those "did you even say thank you?" moments when Trump, Vance, and the other GOP Muppets try to generate outrage and play upon the ignorance of their base.
It's a show made exclusively for the idiots.
Id answer your question, but I have to wait until the backed up moment of silence log is complete. Were adding one every 30 seconds
he wasn't elected, he wasn't important, and after he was killed, most search traffic was asking who the fuck he was. Now he's being formed into a martyr for the Nazis.
But the hammer incident and Minnesota incident I will cherish this moment the rest of my life, where's charlie's grave I got a drop a deuce!!
Wait, really? Nobody knew him? I guess it makes sense: everyone knows the song but nobody knows the singer. Only in this case it's not a song, it's propaganda and indoctrination. Like how if Christopher Rufo kicked the bucket, few would know he literally invented the CRT scare.
Game recognize game.
