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.

You brought up the alternative, just because you didn't say his name doesn't mean it wasn't you. Low effort cop out. Also I've been voting for decades now so stop with this patronizing young shit. Im probably older than you.
The cop out is yours. As I said, I realize your awareness of politics doesn't extend back much. Trump is no worse than Bush. (You know the guy that hurriedly evacuated the family of the man whom they funded and enabled to commit the worst terrorist attack in the United States history out of the country. When the attack happened.) Or bush's father. Or Reagan. (You know, the guy who broke the unions sold weapons to Iran and violation of our own embargo. Funding terrorists and South America and all over the globe. Including that Osama guy that did that attack at the world trade center. Remember that? ) All the damage Trump accomplished was because of Republicans and their media apparatus that they've spent the last 60 to 70 years building. Trump is an embarrassing clown. But then so was Bush. Republicans, fascists are the real threat.
If you're older than me, you should know better than this. But I doubt very much that you're older than me. There are people in their 60s. Who do you use Lemmy but they are quite rare.
Also a quick addendum. Me referring to you as being young and an experienced is not coming from a place of patronization. That you feel that it is probably speaks more to how apt it is than anything.
I don't know you from Adam. That you might be young, enthusiastic yet the inexperienced. Is me simply trying to put the best construction on the situation. I would rather think that than that you are older and still ignorant. That is all.
