The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.
Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated. We are not here to ban people who said something you don't like.
If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

Maduro and Trump are friends
Maduro gets to escape his country and save face instead of being assassinated or executed.
Trump gets to manufacture a conflict so he can start martial law and become a dictator, and to distract from us learning he came inside little girls.
The only thing this is about is Trump getting PERSONAL control of the oil, so he can be as wealthy as his friends the Saudis.
I don't know about this. He's gotta know that it's incredibly unlikely that he'll live to see any profits from Venezuelan oil. It'll take way longer than he's got left to actually make a sizable amount of money from it.
I don't know why anyone is buying that propaganda. They've been stopping huge oil tankers filled with Venezuelan oil. They're producing enough oil that we wanted it, and plenty of other countries are pissed that we're taking it from them.
Of course Trump only cares about the oil. Has everyone been asleep for the last decade?
Trump doesn't have any friends, and by that I mean his severe narcissism prevents his brain from ever being able to form healthy two-way personal relationships with anyone. In his mind, everyone else exists solely to service or benefit him, even those in his own family. He desperately wants to impress those he sees as powerful, like Kim, Erdoğan, and Putin, so he does things that he thinks will make them like him.
Him and Maduro have sucked each other's dicks in speeches plenty.
He's a dictator Trump is close with. That's who Trump's friends are
Jesus this is a bad take
80 people were killed, cities were bombed, and we've got shits on here doing "it was an inside job, aktuly"
Fucking vile.
