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.

Do we have plans? Yeah, we have plans. What we need is to keep getting the votes. It's moving in the right direction.
And no, we aren't in this together. You can't expect to be all "America First" as a country, spend a solid century enforcing your take on geopolitics, half of which was ran as the sole dominant superpower and then go "it's all one Earth" the moment crap goes South.
Clean up your own house, let's see if we can keep ours clean, and then the survivors can talk about this "one Earth" thing. But I'm not willing to listen to how you don't know what to do in the meantime. Even less so when you slide into a conversation about European politics assuming the US is the default.
It's politics, not therapy. Go start an indefinite general strike. We'll be here when you report back.
Well it is clear you don't have any sort of plan. That is okay. I was hoping for some insight. And no, an indefinite strike from me, a person who lives on a little island in the middle of nowhere is not going to make any fucking difference.
I did not create the Nazi slogan America First nor do I approve of it. Honestly, your acting like a little bitch.
I think you are mistaken about my approach and saying we all share the same Earth is a wake up call. Do you think we can vote our way out of what is happening? Don't bother answering that as it is seriously rhetorical.
What is up with Europeans getting bent about talking with US citizens. The thread I am commenting on specifically brought up the US. I think you are behaving like an asshole honestly.
Don't bother reporting back, all you have is shit to sling.
