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.

"Your bizarre lecturing couldn't be less important to anyone, least of all, me."
Yah that's kinda my point. You don't care what anyone else thinks lol. And it's only bizarre to you because the idea of a little self reflection is a foreign concept to you.
Also, how do I have no idea what I'm talking about. I said consider having some introspection if everyone is telling you you're wrong. If you think that's "having no clue" well then that's clearly part of your problem.
"Maybe you should take your own advice and take a long walk somewhere contemplating some stranger's comment on the internet about your deep need for introspection."
More misrepresention of what I said. Also you never once mentioned that I need introspection. See you're just being defensive and lashing out in ways that don't make sense because you can't process your feelings.
I'll tell you this, if I made multiple comments on subjects that were constantly shit all over, like you claim is happening with you, I very much would take a beat to do just that: take a walk and have a little introspection. Because unlike you I'd rather be right than proud.
Lol, now people who disagree with you are automatically bloodthirsty, Jesus the victim complex is strong with this one. And let's be honest, I've disqualified my opinion in your eyes the second I disagreed with you. You're not interested in convos outside your echo chamber bud.
"I didn't read the rest. Can you stop?"
I love this sentence for so many reasons.
Why oh why might people down vote and disagree with you. Such a mystery.
My ignorance keeps expanding. Ignorance is a lack of knowledge, am I somehow forgetting things in real time or are you ignorant to what the term ignorance means? How tf would ignorance expand lol.
I'm literally just telling you what I see, and you don't like it. This really gives me a lot of insight as to why you don't want a shred of self-reflection, you wouldn't like what you see.
"I’d appreciate it if you’d stop flooding my inbox. Because, unlike your ignorant take, I actually do want other perspectives. Even when they are from people who want to be my enemy. Otherwise I’d just block you."
Omg, what a pathetic victim complex again. You're a big boy, if you don't want my responses in your inbox just bock me or stop responding yourself.
Wait, wait, wait. You want me to stop talking to you, but you also want other perspectives, even from me. But why do you want me to stop if you want my perspective? And if you did actually want me to stop, you could just block me, but you don't want to do that. So you want me to stop but are taking no actions that would make me stop but also you don't want me to stop because you want my perspective. You're getting tangled in your own mental gymnastics bud.
Oh no, you think a 1-minute read is a novel... I timed myself bud, less than a minute.... Guess you don't read a lot of books, or anything, which actually explains a lot.
Every word you read is wrong? Every word? I said, "Ignorance is a lack of knowledge," which is the dictionary definition. But I'm sure you know better than the dictionary too lol.
"but trust me I am not reading most of this shit" Wow, this you: "Because, unlike your ignorant take, I actually do want other perspectives. Even when they are from people who want to be my enemy." Looks like someone is losing track of their BS.
Just want to let you know that I didn't read any of this. You failed at wasting as much of my time as you wanted to
And you're wasting yours, but only one of us is outting themselves haha.
I always found it kinda pathetic when people have to say "I didn't read that" like it's a slam, when it's actually embarrassing. You're addimitting you'd rather yell nonsense and plug your ears than walk away or have a convo. It's really sad.
You've probably spent 30 minutes this morning tearing into me. I spent like 5 minutes rolling my eyes and telling you it's useless.
But you win.
Lol, nope, I've spent about 30 min expressing why your stance is wrong; a nice little story anyone who interacts with you can read and see how you REALLY feel about differing opinions.
You've done nothing but reinforce everything I've said by plugging your ears and refusing to have an actual conversation. Maybe it only took you 5 minutes, but you painted a very clear picture of yourself. I mean ya, if you only talk at people and never listen, you don't really have to invest a lot in a conversation.
