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.

Atheism subs have been real quiet since this one dropped.
No, they haven’t.
I was going to reply, stopped to look at this guy's comment history. I'm not seeing a lot of worth in it, it's mostly one-liners about this or that, no real engagement. Some seem mildly divisive simply for division's sake.
Thank you for your service lmao
You can't possibly think Hamas will actually take a Catholic priest as a hostage trade in their war against Israel.
It's such a ludicrous, ostentatious and baseless offer since he hasn't even made contact with Hamas and acknowledges he won't be able to that most people aren't going to bother commenting about it.
I have the luxuries of callous taste and ample time.
How many times have you offered yourself to be exchanged for hostages? Yeah didn't think so.
Incidentally, if Hamas accepts my willing offer(that I also won't tell them about) to exchange myself for all Israeli child hostages, I am also explicitly offering this exchange, as an atheist.
So now me and the Cardinal are tied.
I'll let the guys know
Good luck, I have it on medium-high religious authority that "You can't talk to Hamas. It is very difficult"
If you do this, which I think you should (for science), have Christopher Nolan film it so we can’t hear what you’re saying.
For science.
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Haha, hell yea.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
A ludicrous, ostentatious and baseless offer of your own. That's the spirit.
I guess that in that case they suck because they revolve around religion instead of atheism.
