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!
-
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
Our conservatives are the number one threat to humanity world-wide. You should care about this because it will eventually affect you directly.
I repeat. It's an article about dental health. You can pretend your comment was anything other than you circlejerking the same tired bullshit without saying a single fucking thing, just to stroke your ego and feel like you're any better than the people you make fun of all you want. It doesn't change a thing. You repeating some hyperlative bullshit doesn't either. It just reveals who you are.
Very well aware of the threat of American idiots, mainly due to the fact that because people exactly like you on the other side of the spectrum keep shoving the same bullshit down everyone's throats everywhere they go, it spreads and now, thanks to exactly the same behavior you're so proud of here, we have idiots all over the world repeating the same idiocy down to a tee.
Just because people don't want your dick shoved down their throats 24/7 everywhere they go doesn't mean they don't care.
"Conservatives are like: "Herppp derppp I'm a conservative there's microchips in ma teef!" Hahaha! Right guys?!" isn't exactly the kind of eloquent and well thought argument you think it is. Behaviour like that contributes to the problem, it doesn't solve anything. You're a part of the problem. Be better.
