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.
-
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 mean, neither of them are anything remotely like a left wing party. Not even slightly left leaning.
Hell, even Bernie Sanders would be center-right in most countries.
No he wouldn't, this has been debunked dozens of times already, the mainstream of the DNC operates center left on fiscal policy relative to most functioning democracies, and significantly to their left on social issues considering how many of those functioning democracies are unofficial ethnostates that have only recently begun grappling with questions of national identity America has been dealing with since its founding.
Bernie would be considered a radical even among the nordic states for his stances on the complete nationalization of all medicine, not just point of service care.
Not to mention how, while we here in America discuss the ramifications of the republican party openly embracing fascist ideology and language, AfD, EDL, Vox, FI, PiS, Fidez, NF, and SD are all long and well established parties that all have deeply troubling roots among the literal og fascists from WWII, for god's sake Mussolini's granddaughter is an MP in italy, and the defacto leader of France's right is basically the princess of the children of collaborators.
Nevermind how all of them receive support from Vladimir Putin as part of his agenda to discredit democracy before Russians get too unignorable asking why they don't get to play with the west's cool government structural toys.
