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.

Calm down.
Okay, I'll accept your concession. I'll feel good sleeping tonight feeling like I "won" here. I don't even do that shit on the Internet. I have a pretty full and fulfilling life. This is so unimportant to me Yet somehow, you've provided me with such a sense of satisfaction! Thank you! I was really bored before but I'm smiling right now. Because you've helped me remember how people like you function and how little credence to give you. Except when your kind shoots up schools and churches and synagogues and shit... But other than that you're feckless! Merry Christmas!
Sure you do.
No, you're finally accurate, I don't! As I've acknowledged I don't NEED to engage with you at all. It's fun. If anything I'm just enjoying the thought that you think you rage baited me and "write calmly" but deep down you hate this because I'm right. You just can't ever get to your truth because you don't believe in therapy or maybe you say that to the guys because you're actually scared of being vulnerable or worse exposing yourself. Go back to your incel cave. I'm going to enjoy my beautiful irl community of people with whom we love each other, my successful career, the warm sunny weather, my creative and intellectually stimulating hobbies. You keep on doing what you do best and contributing so much to this community!
Or not, and you're just milk toast run of the mill dickhead with no reason for it.. who knows? I enjoy this and you're irrelevant so who cares??
Sorry to let you know I write words, have ADHD, and never stfu for a living, so that's why this is verbose. Not because I'm upset. This is truly fun for me. I never met myself enjoy feeling better than others or sadism. You're like 5 golden rings all in one day! I've actually been feeling kinda cynical about the world lately. But you just reset my perspective and it's gonna be fine! Thanks for being you... It's like r/writingprompts but you're just some angry hateful loser on the Internet projecting their rage on others without anything interesting to add. Or maybe your mother fucking Teresa with your irl community. Who knows? Doesn't matter. Bc here, you're a piece of shit who should be ashamed of how they engage with strangers. On Christmas nonetheless! Surely you're an enraged Jew! Okay, now I'm bored again. ta-ta
Alright well, you do you.
Guess I didn't need to be a dick. Like I said, I don't even know who you are beyond this forum. But you do you too
