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.

It’s what Jesus would have wanted, I’m sure.
How else would he want to be remembered?
Feeding the poor?
Loving the different?
Starting a damn riot because someone charged interest on a loan?
Surely his favorite part of life was being tortured to death for those messages, so let's all wear a tiny gold version of what killed him and forgot all that commie crap he constantly talked about
/s
Jesus didn't talk about using force or the threat of force to confiscate other people's wealth and give it away.
Someone hasn't been reading their book of fairy tales....

It's always amusing when people who are against religion pretend to be experts.
He litterly tells them after dumping out their money "Take these things hence; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise."
Jesus didn't take their money, he told them to take their shit and leave.
As opposed to all the Christian denominations, sects, cults who can’t even agree on what the facts were, or which of the books, letters etc are to be included in their “correct” version on the bible.
What does any of that have to do with claiming the cleansing the temple parable shows Jesus promoting communism.
Absolutely nothing. It was a reply to your first sentence.
It's more amusing to see how ignorant the religious are of their religion. Especial monotheists. You've only got the one god and you still can't keep the rules straight.
Did jimbolauski say something incorrect?
Yeah, moved the goalpost from starting a riot to confiscating money and goods.
Which rules did I not keep straight?
Do you know what communism is? Or just what the McCarthyites told you?
Do you? I've never heard of read a bible verse about Jesus instructing his followers to seize the means of production.
Damn, its almost like Communism was invented AFTER Jesus supposed time
But even then, seizing the means would be more Socialism than Communism. Marx wrote as much, too, that Socialism is the stepping stone away from Capitalism and towards Communism
Thanks for providing more evidence Jesus didn't espouse communists ideas.
Here is the 4th plank of the communists party, as written by your buddy Karl in the communists manifesto. You should probably read the man's works before you make claims about what he said
Me thinks you dont know what property is in this context.
Private property in the Manifesto doesnt mean theyre gonna take your toothbrush, ffs
Don't assume because you don't know what you're talking about that others don't as well.
It's still seizing of someone's property which you claimed is not part of Karl's communism.
I never made a claim on what was or was not in Karl's manifesto.
I think you hit the nail on the hand with this comment.
"Fucking hell lads, I gave you the bread and wine thing. There's no need for this!"
Well after he's dead they start throwing around the line about needing to "carry the cross as I do."
So people who believe that was accurately attributed certainly might think that's what he wanted.
