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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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.

Kinda is. America is on its way to being as authoritarian as China, just with a Christian bent, which is so much worse.
So much worse than being jailed for talking about democracy? At least in the United States we can all run to a blue state… For now. However, I am curious to see if Trump does anything with his super special banned words.
Not really.
China doesn't protect freedom of speech. They don't even allow citizens to own their houses.
Anything's possible when you make shit up
What's your point?

My point is that chinese citizens being able to own their homes is an easily verifiable fact, and that you're either deliberately lying or too stupid to walk and chew at the same time
America doesn't protect freedom of speech already, and we're not even a full year into our fascist takeover
Yeah, you're an idiot.
Dude, are you stupid? Have you not seen what Trump is doing?
Tell us specifically what you're referring to.
The sueing people for reporting the truth, the threatening networks for people saying things they don't like, various attacks on schools (Harvard in particular) to silence protests (and force indoctrination), attacking law firms for working for people they don't like, targeting private individuals who are pro Palestine, and more that I'm not going to look up for you. The Trump administration is the worst thing we've ever had for free speech in America and, if they actually get their way, it'll be worse than China.
Ok, one thing at a time.
What, specifically, are you referring to here?
You can be specific about anything else you've mentioned, I was just starting at the beginning.
Yeah no, I'm not playing this game with a troll account made two days ago.
I'm not trolling.
You should learn how to argue effectively. You've said nothing of substance.
Bull. You are clearly acting in bad faith or are otherwise so uninformed of basic, common news that you are worthless to speak with in the first place.
I'm not acting in bad faith by asking you to be specific about a claim you made.
You're the one who is acting in bad faith by calling me a troll for not taking your word at face value.
Grow up.
The very second thing you said was an insult. Yes you're acting in bad faith, troll, and we can all see it.
Really? Then why didn't you say that at the beginning?
Why did you say a bunch of things that amounted to nothing and then pivot to calling me a troll when I didn't take your word at face value?
Funny how much effort your putting into this versus just providing a source for your information. It really shows me why you're getting so upset. You can't provide citations and think I should be stupid enough to "trust you, bro."
You could be telling the truth, but only a moron/child would accept what you say as fact based solely on what you've presented.
I'm going to ignore you now since you're an idiot with no argument.
Go back to school and learn how to cite properly. You're behaving exactly like qanon.
We all know you're just upset that other people can see through your bullshit.
Go back to reddit loser
Lol yeah you are
