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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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.

There HAD been Italian-navy protection for it, but they withdrew, according to the headlines of the past few days, here..
IF you accommodate machiavellian-malevolence, whether in elections or in providing-aid-to-the-dying,
THEN evil's opportunism OBLIGES it to take-advantage of that.
Protesting, producing mass-social-statements, after-the-fact, DOESN'T protect: it only makes political-assertion.
EITHER break evil's control, XOR accommodate it, .. but stop orienting to accommodating it and then whining when it does exactly what it had to do.
Grow up, humankind!
Same as with Russia's invation of Ukraine: WE ACCOMMODATED THAT, until it was underway, and THEN we complain that it costs sooo much to fight now that we let it get entrenched??
Had we provided the already promised ( when we got Ukraine to give-up their nukes ) protection, when the buildup was still happening .. then there'd be much less rooting-out needing doing, now, obviously.
This is the same principle as vaccination: EITHER you prevent as much transmission, and as much lethality, as you can, up-front, through immunization, .. XOR you accommodate it, & then .. whine about the consequences?
( the LeopardsAteMyFace stuff is all excellent display of what I'm calling-out, here:
Apparently it isn't only considered-reasoning that needs to be trained, it also is objectivity-itself!
How stupid of me to have not understood that they both, independently, needed to be trained, in this world, until nearly 60 years old.
Better to learn now, though, than to continue remaining ignorant, right? )
We're running-out of "chances", humankind:
ClimatePunctuation's intensifying ideological-supremacism's highjacking of our world's groups,
& if that process completes-sufficiently, then next-century's going to be silent of our kind, utterly, because we will have done a "mass shooting" against our own entire-species, in a kind of ideological-rampaging tantrum.
Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen.
