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
Yes it's only a matter of time before Hasbara operatives try to suppress pro Palestinian voices on here. They've already taken over Reddit.
I believe, wholeheartedly, that governments pay people to astroturf reddit.
They've gotten it down to a science at this point. Something I always notice now is people arguing against arguments that don't exist. They'll be like "I can't believe people are saying x" when nobody is actually saying x.
It's that kind of manufactured outrage, the kind that makes people feel like they're missing out, that causes them to pretend to understand what's going on in order to fit in.
It's sad and disgusting, but I don't even bother with reddit anymore. It's too obvious that everyone there is either a shill or an idiot.
Lemmy appears to have gotten all the high-quality posters that reddit used to be good for.
My oldest reddit acount was around 12-13 years old when I moved here and let me tell you the shifts over time were noticeable and constant especially in the world news sub. Honestly looked like it was someones goal to turn it into what it looks like now.
Ding ding ding. Moderators have only become less impartial as time went on with reddit.
A public modlog is absolutely necessary to hold mods accountable, which is why reddit doesn't have one and none of the mods advocate for it.
Based on the drama around antiwork after the fox news spot I believe it. I've seen admins install mods into already moderated subreddits simply because they weren't as reddit would like them, profitable.
I thought, it was just me thinking this/ noticing this. But majority of videos are posted by bots continuously and sometimes, it feels as if it is trying to stir up crap.
Reddit is quite useless in general nowadays. Only reason why I’m on it is for the specific subreddits (which are unfortunately not yet here).
