YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.
Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated. We are not here to ban people who said something you don't like.
If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

Did you read my comment? I explicitly mentioned "except famines".
Those were policy failures with reason in andd beyond human control. But both of those socialist nations never saw nother famine again and those nations used to have frequent famine before they became socialist. Both of those nations ensured no food shortage for anyone thereafter.
Meanwhile currently weve got 6 to 9 million pwople dying evey year due to hunger despite us producing more than enough food to feed another 3 billion people - all that food goes to waste because feeding the hungry doesnt generate profit.
Oh you said except famines. Then yes, except the famines, the political progroms, the deportations, holding their population hostage, the failing econoics all was well.
Avg capitalist when approached with good arguments
All of that happens under liberal democracy btw, you still didnt answer why is capitalism and liberalism starving 6 million people every year? Very succesful economics after all? Your whole elections are fought on deportation and political progroms I dont think they held their population hostage
People were literally shot at the border if they attempted to flee from East Germany. Same today for dear leaders workers paradise, North Korea.
Well NK is sanctioned to hell and AmriKKKa wiped their 20% population so its understandable
