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.
-
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.

Pay your journalists or get used to being the product sold to whatever propagandist wants you this year
But I'm poor.
Poor people used to buy newspapers too.
One Person bought it and 15 read it.
Which, come to think of it, is exactly what's happening here with people reposting the text.
Like, I agree that journalists need to get paid somehow, and that advertising is a cancerous model for that, but I just so, so do not have the budget for random news subscriptions.
The cirrrclleeee offffff liiiiiffffeeeee!!!!!
No we didn't. We'd find them discarded at bus stops.....or read the news years later from the bottom of a bird cage. No, I don't mean WE'RE in a bird cage. I just mean someone we know owns a bird, and we look inside the birdcage.
Why would you line the bottom of a human size birdcage with newspapers??? That's just called a jail. That's silly. You're silly for even suggesting it, you silly goose!
OH NOW WE'RE BRINGING GEESE INTO THIS??? THAT'S IT! I'M OUT! GEESE ARE ASSHOLES!!!
While I get what you mean, it’s also important to note that, sadly, Bezos owns WaPo these days.
Newspapers use to cost pennies, like ¢ 25 in 2001.
Adjusted by inflation (calculator) = $ 0.44.
A year subscription to WaPo costs I think like $125, which is 35c per day. You’re saving 9 cents now. And most I think are significantly cheaper than that.
