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.

Muh free speech! They're forcing me to use whatever name someone wants rather than calling him n****r boy. *clutchest pearls*
What's next? Not using pronouns to harrass and demean people intentionally?
Normal non-fascist-reactionary people have the ability to distinguish between ridiculous bad faith pearl clutching (what you are doing now) and earnest expressions of identity.
My response is always to use whatever pronouns the person I'm talking to says are right. If it's all alt-right troll, oh well. Maybe they'll have half a moment of self reflection and realize how ridiculous it would be for nonbinary folk to lie about their pronouns all the time, day in and day out. Maybe they'll realize that it would be exhausting having to lie just for the sake of... attention? Which wouldn't make sense in the first place, because unfortunately the majority of attention that you get from being nonbinary in public is explicitly hatred.
I know that hoping for conservatives to actually reflect on how they make people feel is a pipe dream, but if a man can't dream, what can he do?
The only one pulling shit out of their ass is you and your ridiculous pearl clutching slippery slope bullshit. If you don't do stupid shit, you won't get in trouble (and before you go all pedantic douche, I'm meaning in the context of gender discrimination and harassment).
Going from two genders for centuries to 100 in 10 years? Yeah, definitly not pulled out of the ass.
It was 70 in the last comment. They've already added 30 more? My gods! ... or are you still just pulling shit out of your ass?
Didn't know you were that disadvantaged that you need a big red arrow saying hyperbole pointing to the number.
It was very ableist of me and I am sorry for it.
Your obvious failings aside, the core of your comments indicate you have absolutely no idea how gender and sexual identity work. You've been fed lies and misinformation that you now don't question. When someone presents you with the truth, you discard it and build on top of the lies you've been fed with more lies and misinformation.
Ah yes, the truth that "anyone can be whatever they want for whatever reason".
That's exactly my point. That's such a naive and misinformed take. You're not even willing to learn. Just spewing the propaganda you've been fed.
So you didn't see the latest supreme court confirmation?
Cause that has a say in biology? This is the crap you're being fed.
