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.

Libs would rather hype the "greater evil" than oppose the genocide.
WE ALL OPPOSED THE FUCKING GENOCIDE.
That doesn't mean we wanted to invite in ADDITIONAL GENOCIDES IN THE U.S.
Jesus Christ, I am so tired of seeing people make excuses for not voting to stop someone who you have been given warning sign after warning sign about because you don't like Kamala Harris.
It also means that we didn't want to make the one genocide they're always on about even worse.
Seriously. "Harris is supporting genocide by being part of an administration selling weapons to Israel, so I'll let the guy who told Netanyahu to finish the job on national TV win." What the fuck?
I actually had someone tell me a month or so back that genocide is as bad as it gets and you can't make it worse once it's genocide.
These people will lie to themselves about anything rather than take some fucking responsibility.
They also wholly disregard that:
This was a very common argument I saw. Unfortunately, I think there are people who bought it. It's so ahistorical, and nobody seems to know anything about the conditions in Germany pre-WW2 (or probably most of the atrocities that the Nazis committed).
There are levels to this shit, it's not just an on/off switch.
Oh this is exactly what I expected. It doesn't make me any less angry about it.
Yeah: you don't like personally Harris? Too bad you'd rather have a fascist government
I can't wait to hear your weeping when the Trump backed MIC starts shovelling weapons to Israel, awards Netanyahu with the Medal of Freedom, and vetos any Israeli conviction by the ICC.
When both Gaza and the WB are completely annexed and Trump congratulates Netanyahu for a job well done while violently suppressing any US protests, I'm sure you'll admit your refusing to vote for Harris was a great idea.
I don't think you truly appreciate the shit storm that is coming your way. Because of you and your compatriots refusal to vote Dem Trump "will be a dictator on day one". 13-20 million 'illegal' immigrants are promised to be deported. It is now possible anyone protesting, or even daring to speak out on social media (they'll even look here I'm sure) against Israel's actions will be included in that number. If I were you I'd get my licks in while I could, but use a VPN while doing it if it isn't too late already.
It's looking like the whole of US government is going to be majority Red through and through. That means any bill, including one for the formation of HUAC 2.0 gets rammed through. Oh well, at least you'll have self-righteousness to console you going through whatever happens after January.
What will they say when kushner is building condos where Gaza was? Will that still be teaching Harris a lesson?
How has anyone opposed the genocide given the electoral outcome?
Opposing the genocide meant voting for Harris to avoid this exact situation.
There's a smallish band of dipshits who care more about shouting about the genocide than stopping it. Not shouting about it (understandable and correct and good) and then stopping it. But actively not stopping it so they can shout.
The only chance--and it was only a chance--to save the Palestinians, was to keep Captain Dipshit away from the steering wheel and bust Harris' balls incessantly until she did maybe half the right thing.
Because that option is better than what they've been doomed to now. But you don't mind that. You have your purity, and that's what your core value is.
You're getting downvoted, but you're correct...
Ah yes, four people I've never heard of that still actually use Twitter definitely proves them right.
