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.

I'm really disheartened that most of the people I follow on twitter haven't moved to other platforms, or if they did they decided to go to bluesky that is the same shit as twitter (or is bound to be in a few years).
So what you're saying it that you're intolerant of opposing viewpoints and those that don't childishly use cancel culture against somebody they disagree with...cool! At least you own it!
So your username is telling me you constantly create new accounts because you can’t deal with the consequences of your speech? Lame, stop hiding from it with alt accounts.
I've only ever had one, nice try though. You know what they say about assuming.......
Its random PERSON as in, on the internet, not acct. I love when morons like you accuse people of "hiding", is your username your name? Huh, look at that, you must be " hiding".
Oh hey look, someone else who is pretending to not understand the paradox of tolerance.
Believing that certain marginalized groups of people aren't human (and/or don't belong in society, and/or don't deserve equal rights) is not a defensible belief, and people who are actually tolerant will not tolerate that.
Tired of conservatives acting like they're "just asking questions," or behaving like they're just presenting an opposing political viewpoint, and not advocating for genocide.
Rightwingers aren't people.
Ignorant...
Have you ever read this quote:
"Wenn unsere Gegner sagen: Ja, wir haben Euch doch früher die […] Freiheit der Meinung zugebilligt – –, ja, Ihr uns, das ist doch kein Beweis, daß wir das Euch auch tuen sollen! […] Daß Ihr das uns gegeben habt, – das ist ja ein Beweis dafür, wie dumm Ihr seid!" - Rede vom 4. Dezember 1935
https://de.m.wikiquote.org/wiki/Joseph_Goebbels
That's what you get for being tolerant towards intolerance. That was 88 Years ago and you think everybody still falls for that?
I speak and read English thanks.....
Ignorant...
Twitter is increasingly full of fascists. Fascists don't deserve tolerance or respect. Of course there's also all the Russian, Israeli, and United States propaganda bots, actual propagandists, plus myriad other reasons someone might object to the platform but yes, the strawman argument you fabricated is "clearly the only reasonable cause for criticism against Twitter".
Looking forward to your next strawman.
Not what I said, dont put words in my mouth.
The Paradox of Tolerance disappears if you look at tolerance, not as a moral standard, but as a social contract.
If someone does not abide by the terms of the contract, then they are not covered by it.
In other words: The intolerant are not following the rules of the social contract of mutual tolerance.
Since they have broken the terms of the contract, they are no longer covered by the contract, and their intolerance should NOT be tolerated.

LOL. Is "cancel culture" even a thing?
WOW! You CLEARLY don't live in the US!!! It's as real as the sky is blue.
Really? How? Who has been "cancelled"? What happened to them?

Typing search terms into Google does not an argument make. Neither does calling people lazy.
"Cancel culture" is not really a thing.
Really? CNN a majority Intl news source seems to think it's real

USA Today seems to think it's real
https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2020/07/17/has-twitters-cancel-culture-gone-too-far/5445804002/
How about being fired from your job, from something you said at a previous one?

How about Sarah Silverman, who sucks BTW, losing a movie roll from another movie roll she had over 10yrs prior?

Again....LAZY, could have just googled this! Cancel Culture is very real, and it's not new! You'd know that if you weren't a foreigner speaking on things you don't understand.
Don't be a moron, I don't care if you're not in the US, Google Cancel culture. Here, I'll do it for you lazy.

How were they "cancelled", though? Do awful people have a right to gobs of money and attention and a platform? If I get fired from my job for bad behavior, does that mean it's not being fired, but "cancelled"?
By the way, nearly all the people that are supposedly "cancelled" still seem to have careers.
"Cancel culture" is just a big myth from the right.
I don't think he was saying that.
