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.

Misandry is when someone says men who believe women shouldn't be allowed to vote are abusive.
Thank you for that elevated, nuanced take, king.
That's not what I said. I said there's a difference between being an asshole and being abusive and if OP can't see and acknowledge that difference then they're engaging in misandry. I didn't say anything about voting rights and misandry. Please don't put words in my mouth or misrepresent what I say.
That’s a ridiculous distinction and to hinge accusing someone of engaging in misandry on that just tells me you recently found a new word to make your red pill-lite views more palatable.
I'm not sure what distinction you're referring to. I don't care either.
Edit: for that matter, I'm mystified as to why you are continuing to engage with me if you genuinely believe that I am victim blaming. Unless you don't genuinely believe I am victim blaming, in which case why would you accuse me of that. Despicable.
"Oh, I'm spreading rhetoric that hurts people? Why are you even responding to it, then?"
Your entire edit is actually a perfect microcosm of the victim blaming mentality, but (poorly) disguised as a virtue signal about victim blaming. Well done mate. Despicable.
waiting for his brave take on men’s rights and reverse discrimination
That's not really a fair characterisation of the situation given that they said elsewhere:
"Later dude. This isn’t going to be productive."
Look, I wanted to come back and apologize. We are clearly ganging up on you a little bit here and this has gotten kind of nasty. I’m sorry for my part in it, and I don’t like being a bully/contributing to negativity online. Yet I did, and I own that.
I seriously, honestly insist that you take a look at what we were talking about earlier and really assess the discussion critically. I imagine you mean well, but thereare some seriously troubling implications with your rhetoric and the way you are talking about these subjects. You don’t have to agree with us, but I think if you take a step back and just give it some thought you might see at least some small thing worth addressing or reconsidering. Have a good one, sorry again
If you believe that hateful, harmful ideas shouldn't be challenged and should be allowed to stand on their own as long as the person spewing them is sufficienly annoying, sure, mate. Unfair characterization.
Or maybe you just said even dumber shit in response and they changed their mind. Even the brightest among us may never know. Truly confounding.
You have now retreated to "but they promised they would stop talking," btw. Just keeping you aware of the scoreboard here, so to speak.
I don't see any challenging, just flailing.
Oh dear.
Finally, we agree on something. Cheers.
That edit is despicable
