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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

Peter Thiel wants to connect your online behaviour to the profile Palantir is building on you. That way they can target people based on their group criteria. We've already seen the early version of this with Cambridge Analytica, their business model was built around using facebook profiles and shadow profiles (for those who don't know, even if you've never had a Facebook account, there's a profile for you based off the information your friends and family have allowed Facebook access to (contacts etc)) to target people with targeted propaganda when they're at their most vulnerable; at home with their guard down where they feel nice and safe and are more receptive to propaganda.
This is why the right wing have lost their little minds, they've been the primary target of Cambridge Analytica, it led to Brexit which we now know was a plan by Peter Thiel and Jeffrey Epstein to destabilise Europe with the goal of returning to feudalism so that they can buy up everything super cheap and own the world.
Their main goal, is to implement a surveillance state which will be bolstered by autonomous weapon systems and facial recognition linked to Palantir's database, so that they can turn the world into a series of technocratic fiefdoms where the tech bros rule over us with an iron fist.
This isn't hyperbole or conjecture, these are the things they're doing and telling us they want to do.
Rightio! A swift kick in the gob will put a stop to all that!
