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.
-
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.

Harris didn’t spend enough time taking about her policies though.
And that laugh!
I hear she once ordered Dijon mustard
Not relevant she was also an american imperialist she made that clear.
Yes, the fascist orange Nazi pedophile with dementia was a much better choice.
Did I say anything even remotely like that?
We're in a thread talking about the only other choice we had for president vs Trump, because of what Trump is doing as president, and you're going "well aCkShYuALLy" about it.
When faced with two choices (which itself is a problem that needs to be addressed), the American people picked the fascist pedophile over "woman who laughs weird" (something the GOP actually tried to use against her during their campaign).
If you've got any proof of that claim, lay it out for us. As someone who does not pledge allegiance to any politician in any way, shape, or form whatsoever, I would be very interested to see what you've got.
How about her talking about making sure that rhe USA would have the most lethal armed forces in the planet?
Again - that is a claim. Bring a source next time.
Would you have supported her if she said "I think America should have like, C- tier fighting force, and old military hardware"?
People who didn't vote for Harris didn't choose Trump, they just rejected Harris.
You don't get to propose Nazi light as an alternative to Nazi pro and demand people vote for her, which is what happened.
If she was a viable candidate, people would have voted for her. He won by the toss of a coin, because people wanted neither.
This is part of why the 2-party system we're currently stuck with is so problematic.
And you don't fix it by shrugging and participating in it.
yes you absolutely did
No but it's more emotionally satisfying if we simplify what you said to that.
