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.

Do the Americans not realise that.. like every single one of them going back 4-5 generations are immigrants? Very few native Americans are out there because of immigration.
Most Americans realize this, but our government doesn't give a shit what we think right now. Trump and the GOP are not representing us.
Look at Greenland. 75% of Americans oppose what Trump is doing with that topic. That's disgustingly low, too... But still, he does it anyway.
This isn't new. Most Americans have no agency. We're just a few notches above slave labor at this phase. All we can do is vote, but the wealthy are influencing those votes all over the country with money and propaganda.
For every sane person speaking out, there's two to three others that have given up on everything. They'll just watch the news and do what it says.
It's not about imigration. Only brown and black are "imigrants".
...although even white women are being killed now
Even they are being snatched off streets and "detained".
They’re arresting and detaining the actual native Americans too. Because they really want a Christo-fascist white state, not a native one.
That’s why they want to import the racists from South Africa.
This is the 21st century version of Manifest Destiny. Their immigrant status doesn't matter because they're white and therefore superior.
Yes, the majority of us do.
The people calling for these atrocities and committing them are white supremacists. What is happening is exactly what they want to happen.
Too many Americans think "immigrant" is just a synonym for "not white".
Which is stupid because their ancestors aren't from this land. And millions of "not-whites" were forced to come here! Not that they will ever understand that.
No.
Just as most Americans who have moved to other countries refuse to call themselves immigrants, and default to calling themselves "expats", most don't seem to get that, no.
Isn't an expat usually somebody who is sent abroad for work by his employee?
An expat is anyone who lives outside of their native country while intending to return, while an immigrant is someone who moves to another country permanently.
One reason why you rarely hear about American "immigrants" to other countries is that it is absurdly hard to relinquish US citizenship. So even if an American were to gain citizenship elsewhere, they still owe US income tax, and are reminded of their status every April.
White = Expat
Anything else = Immigrant
It's really that simple
Sure, but that only seems to apply to Americans, and in some parts Brits.
It is less of a US thing, and more of a class thing. Expats are temporary work assignments overseas usually for high paying leadership positions.
An expat is an immigrant who is white.
Not to mention that ICE is frequently abducting Native Americans because they're brown
