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.

MODERATORS
I think you're missing the /s - I know you're being sarcastic but I don't think it's clear because some truly horrible piece of shit humans actually think that way.
No it's more because these typa comments are showing up after 13 straight months of dems giving a free pass to Israel and then ~~expecting~~ demanding people to vote for them.
Please, as if any other party - well the one other party since USA has two parties and that's it, at least when it comes to voting - has done anything.
Stop with excuses. The same two parties are winning because people decided to vote for them. While in many other countries newly formed parties was able to win in the first attempt.
Other countries have representational voting. America doesn't have a system that will allow any other parties, especially on first attempt. If America has ranked-choice voting, it too would have parties out the wazoo
Which countries have ranked choice electoral systems? My home country doesn’t and it has at least 4 or 5 major parties, a lot of medium ones and many smaller ones.
Then maybe they should stop pretending to be a democracy.
Who's pretending? Where a fully functioning oligarchy
The US political system is not other countries. How come people on this site are all about understanding systems except when that system stands in their way? How come so many people are experts on US politics and the political landscape therein without having studied it literally ever in their life? It's honestly getting to be infuriating how little yall know and how far you think that knowledge seems to extend.
I don't need to know the details of how the red khmer worked to know they were bad.
That is 100% russian/maga propaganda and you know it
I think they understand the sarcasm but they been offended by it.
I do find it offensive to bring out petty political domestic politics on a news about genocide. America is not the center of the world, and worse, given that they are the one responsible for that shit, they should really keep a low-profile.
No I think the sarcasm was obvious, it was just a trite and tired sentiment.
