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.

I don't respond well to sealioning, my dear random keyboarder.
You don't respond well at all... When asked for anything to defend your stance, you got bumpkiss nothing.
I've already "defended my stance" (debate lord lol), but you failed to comprehend it. So I'm not going chew it up for you. If you're not smart to discern a good poll from a shit one, there's not much thinking I can do for you.
I'm sure you can find polls on facebook that will prove (to you) that 5G causes covid.
I didn't fail to comprehend anything. You claimed a poll was shitty... And have no alternative data. You can't claim a poll is shitty without either providing evidence of a flaw (you didn't) or having a better quality poll (you didn't). You didn't defend anything. You just claimed something with no source or evidence.
When I asked you to provide EITHER piece you needed to substantiate your claim.
Which on the internet is effectively the same as you have nothing.
Wow, now I know you're dumb. I don't need polls in that case because science says otherwise. You know with actual studies. You don't poll on facts, you poll on feelings or actions. However in this case we're literally talking about how people feel and thus need polls. Now if your argument was how many people feel that 5G causes COVID... then yes. But that wouldn't make you sound like a moron for making the comparison now wouldn't it? You know... since it's exactly the same premise.

You came out of nowhere and shoved your statement into my conversation with someone else. You're truly a moron. You're the seal. In case you forgot I was communicating in response to @skulblaka and you butted your fat ass into the conversation. Don't be mad at me that you have no evidence to back your stance.
Debate lord in shambles after unsuccessful sealioning More polls at 12.
