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.

Nobody wants your fucking loyalty. They want you to wake the fuck up and get it through your skull that we're all in this shithole together, and you need to start lending a hand instead of stomping on other's backs to get yours. Because one day, you might need the rest of us to come save you too.
After BLM and Roe v Wade y'all expect people to all of sudden grow a spine for a ridiculously lower number of people?
I see everywhere that trans rights are the first to fall to fascism but that's complete BS. They're the last.
US progressives love to believe those lies, it gives them purpose. I'm sure the turnout next election (if there's one) will be much higher if we keep talking about HRT instead of slavery happening in private prisons, or women dying while giving birth to their rape babies.
That's not true. You people expect me to agree with you on everything or else I'm a nazi.
If I dared to suggest we prioritize reducing the disparity in wealth over fighting a culture war, you people immediately assume I'm an enemy.
You don't just want loyalty, you crave it. You're dependent on it. You get mad whenever you don't get it and throw tantrums until you do or get rid of the person.
Defending your fellow man isn't culture war. You bought the propaganda.
No, because doing one means doing the other. Who do you think is waging the culture war in the first place?
Personally, as a trans person, I don't want your loyalty. I don't care about your loyalty. We don't know one another at all so I don't even know if you're someone I'd actually want to hang around; and I'm not gonna ask for loyalty from a total stranger.
What I want is for you to act like a decent human being and understand that the culture war is part of a much larger war about wealth inequality; and that you're going to struggle if you allow your allies to slowly get picked off by the ones waging the war in the first place. If that occurred then the best you could hope for would be a pyrrhic victory that leaves you asking, "we won, but at what cost?"
There you go doing it again. You're conflating your agenda with another one to make it seem like people should, say, call you a woman if they want to reduce the disparity in wealth.
That's a load of malarkey and proves my point even further. It's sad how the ruling class is robbing us blind because people like you are trying to piggyback your agenda on problems that face the working class.
Also, you personally may not want loyalty but hopefully you can recognize that you are the outlier in that regard.
Damn, you must be a pretty shallow-minded person to miss the fact that the culture war is perpetuated by the rich to keep us from working together. Racism, religious institutions, sexism, queerphobia, these are tools that the rich and powerful use to keep us divided. When you allow them to wage a culture war unopposed, you are letting them use their ideological "weapons of war" without retaliation.
And no, this isn't just about wanting to be called a woman. This is about being made illegal for who I am. I can't fight against the wealth gap if I'm in prison for having tits and a dick, now can I? I can't fight against the wealth gap if I'm struggling from derealization, depersonalization, dissociation, and suicidal depression brought about by crippling dysphoria as a result of being unable to access estrogen, now can I?
Sorry, the censorship says otherwise. You may be speaking for yourself, but the movement at large wants to control how people see others.
Isn't it good we have experts like you to tell trans people they don't know what the trans rights movement is about?
Actions speak louder than words.
Trans rights is simply human rights for trans people. It's not a culture war issue; it's a human rights issue.
Are you incapable of breathing and chewing bubble gum at the same time? Why not both?
Because they like to use "we have bigger problems to worry about" as a way of shutting down people calling attention to problems.
Why should I feed this homeless person in front of me when there are millions of children dying in starvation in Africa. In fact by giving food to this homeless person who is probably homeless because of his fault, I am in fact wasting food that could otherwise be across the world at this same instant so I actually won’t do anything other than finishing my burger because I’m snackish. /s
Fuck that was hard to type but it’s not too far from how some people actually think
Prioritize deez nuts
So what nuace is missing here? Or any topic.
