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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 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.

Thats a fine adjective, but we can do better.
(eject) (israel)
(verb) (noun)
what verb would you suggest?
So many good options, how to choose?
okay seriously, what are you insinuating, this seems like nothing input unless you come out and say what you're saying. you're contributing nothing to the conversation by just saying "these are the wrong words"
Okay i meant verb–I was kind of high. I don't believe I said it was wrong.
Checking now–I said 'fine', and stand by that. If you want to delve into intended meanings with me–I meant in the sense of 'she's a mighty fine ship' or 'he got a fiiiiine ass'. I don't think it matters. Even the sense of 'barely adequate39 or 'good enough but imperfect'–which is a totally sane reading of my original comment–wouldn't warrant that kind of response.
Why are you trying to incite conflict? What's your problem? Do you have some kind of problem with me–do you just lash out at everything you don't immediately understand?
okay. i guess i msiunderstood your original comment. it seemed like you were saying it wasn't good enough. i just wanted to engage in a conversation about how to say it better because i thought the top level propaganda seemed like the best i could think of and if we can do better we should do better. so i asked you what would be better and you said "lots of stuff" which seemed like intentionally dodging the question without doing anything constructive to me, which made the overall conversation seem combative. at that point i got annoyed and said "just come out an. say them then"
so this is all rooted in me misunderstanding your original intent, i guess. it came across to me as the opposite of what you're saying now
I think the original is pretty hard to misread in that way. I think you're internet poisoned by enough hazbarite genocider bullshit that you need to touch grass.
I recommend a mid grade sativa, your favorite music, and the company of a cat. Possibly like 4g of mushrooms.
