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.

If you expect the worlds richest man (has he done anything for anyone?) and the worlds most useful idiot (he won't even pay his bills) to help anyone, enjoy the dirt you head is buried in.
Hes one of the new waves of trolls. Either block him or make a user note so you can downvote him in every thread so people know not to engage.
I think he blocked me. Lol. He stopped responding anyway.
And it was the Rs that lied to the public in order to bomb Iraq and Afghanistan in the first place.
And trump now threatens to court marshall those in the military that "got us out" of Afghanistan by following the deal he made in negotiating with the Taliban.
Israel's genocidal gov can burn in hell.
So can Putin's.
The states that legalized weed...were states. It's still a federally listed substance on the same level as heroin. (Were those states R or D?)
More covid aid that went to corporations.
Also, withheld aid to states he didn't like.
Also, delayed aid.
Also, he prevented purchase of medical supplies. Also, promoted conspiracy theories.
His inaction, deception, and disinformation help killed over a million.
And he sent Putin covid testing supplies.
I don't know who you're arguing with here.
I already said I agree with OP on Trump and Musk being assholes, but that doesn't change the fact that some good was done in his first term. It's a matter of historical fact, not opinion.
I just gave you the historical facts. You choose to ignore them.
Ah, it makes sense now.
Arguing for its own sake is how you entertain yourself. Have fun with that.
So, by your argument biden is responsible for state abortion bans because he was president.
You're so unfathomably stupid.
