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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

This. Project 2025 did not stop at 2025. The US is going to get worse, not better, and it doesn't matter who winds their elections anymore. I live in the US and I can promise this. I have seen and talked to the societal trash that still supports the GOP. They simply blame the left for everything, cannot think for themselves, and are excited to further shatter the country.
Oh it matters who wins the election. Thats actually the deciding factor completely.
I am not confident voting in Democrats is going to change the trajectory. It may make things look better on paper but it is still straight up fascism and murder on a massive scale.
Well I am confident that voting for anything other than Democrats is going to cause long lasting harm to everyone inside and out of the country. Furthermore, I am confident that voting Democrats, the party with the official stance of taxing the rich, would cause great healing.
Fun fact, the Trump admin and DOGE cut USAID programs that would have saved an estimated 4.5 Million children from starvation globally, and cutting the program resulted in no financial gains.
I will vote for the lesser of the evils for sure.
Fun fact: The US is a fascist nightmare.
If the Democrats take control they are not going to dismantle the military industrial complex. They will continue to fund a literal death machine.
They have already handed over their kill lists to AI. Are the Democrats saying they won't use AI to determine who lives and dies?
You and I are not the same. I can respect your opinion even if it is inconsequential to what my concerns are.
