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!
-
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.

MODERATORS
I imagine this is what the GOP wants to see happen in the US.
Imagine leaving one tyrant for their restrictions on your religion only to come back to reimplementing a few centuries later.
Regressionists man.
A lot of the pilgrims were the fundamentalist crazies that Europe didn't want, and the towns they founded had laws like this and more.
Right but, before the declaration of independence and after are different stories
Regardless, we shredded through a genocide to take the land away forcibly.
We’ve been hypocrites since day one
Yeah but it wasn't just fundamentalist religious zealots. It was also a lot of corporations and capitalists determined to make a profit no matter what, even at the cost of great human suffering and they dragged over a bunch of indentured servants and slaves and oh wait I think this explains a lot about the US.
In the defense of those zealots, they eventually evolved into John Brown types and then even later on into modern progressive christians. The modern evangelical movement mostly evolved out of the southern churches which mostly organized to justify slaver and maintain the southern social order, which is a far cry from the egalitarian religious nutjobs of say the Massachusetts bay colony.
