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.

MODERATORS
There’s a lot of them right here on lemmy. If you don’t know what to look for, they’re the ones yelling at everyone not to vote. They’re the ones you’ll see on every post that’s critical of Biden, but they’re nowhere to be found n any news critical of Trump.
They’re the ones that either disappear, or resort to personal attacks when you simply ask them who else can win the White House if not Biden.
They’re all over lemmy. They are just counting on you not being aware of it.
I'd vote for him.
Yup, everyone who doesn't like your president or your team is a horrible no good far right troll. It's amazing how well one can do when you get paid by Soros and Koch!
Ohh, good for my bingo card
You know what the Kochs do right? And who promised to help that industry if they give them 1 billion?
I'm aware. Please sit and think about the comment you responded to though. Are there really Soros bucks? Does it follow that Koch bucks are likely either? Or maybe I'm just poking fun at the fact that the right accuses me of being a Soros funded Communist and you guys accuse me of voting for Trump
Did I say everyone? It’s very easy to tell the ones that are though.
VERY easy.
Oh no! you left yourself verbal wiggle room. I guess some of them are nice people?
You're username stands out, this an alt for your hexbear account or are you just at the same tier of not-being-able-to-think-critically?
Oh I'm fine. I'm just giving this as much effort as you guys right now. And no this isn't an alt nor do I have a hexbear account. I just don't think we should vote for someone whose an accessory to Genocide. It's not a complex position.
So what, you will instead vote for the party that check notes promises to crush pro-Palestine protests and deport any foreign student participating, and writes down "finish them" on missiles used to kill Palestinians? OK.
No I'll write you in. Don't worry, just your Lemmy name.
Then who should we vote for? Someone is going to be president and literally the only choices are Dictator Trump and Status Quo Biden...
I don't know or care. RFK is polling surprisingly well but he's also RFK. So maybe we don't vote for president this year. Maybe this year we protest the system instead and challenge the idea that this is a legitimate way to represent us.
There are always exceptions. This is because the world we live in isn’t as back and white as you all like to paint it.
No. You just used sweeping generalizations with the barest of a fig cover. Even now. They're "exceptions" meaning you think your post is the rule. So you're just trying to split technical hairs so you don't have to face criticism.
Again, I said there’s a lot of them. A LOT. I didn’t say “all” or even “most.” I said A LOT. That, by definition- is not a sweeping generalization. It’s a statement of an indiscriminate, and unknown amount. Similar to “a few”, or “some.”
That you’re here whining and splitting hairs over this says a lot more about you than it does me.
Something something something protest too much methinks.
That is the very definition of a sweeping generalization. For example, how do you quantify "a lot"? And yeah that would be convenient for you wouldn't it? Getting called on your attempt to demonize independents by someone who fit your profile. Alas, no.
Ok buddy.
You had me in the first half 😅
