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.

MODERATORS
They know they are in trouble but they think it’s because labor is lazy and needs more exploiting.
Part of getting Americas shit together is closing off immigration. The people doing this to us are mostly not American. It’s rich immigrants from various countries exploiting regular Americans. Thiel isn’t ours. Musk isn’t ours. Fucking murdoch… Why the fuck do they all move here? At some point it feels like an attack from other nations. From our own Allies. Who fucking needs enemies?
Immigration is the one of the primary economic engines in America, and it is a STUPID self-inflicted injury to close it off.
Those "immigrants" you mentioned aren't a problem because they're immigrants. They're a problem because A)They are Sociopathic Oligarchs, and B) Our elected officials have allowed them to exploit our labor and resources for their own benefit, at the expense of our own citizens.
We shouldn't cut off immigrants, who are coming here to contribute to America, we need to cut off Sociopathic Oligarchs who come here to abuse America. We need to make our government, and the wealthy, understand that we don't exist to serve them, they exist to serve the Citizens, and this nation. They are allowed to keep their profits, after paying for the privilege through significant taxes, through the pleasure of the Citizens.
They can buy whatever they need out of their own pockets. We shouldn't be giving their corporations tax breaks and loopholes, we shouldn't be buying them stadiums, giving them enormous government grants, etc.They can afford to pay their own way. Not one [now illegal] penny should be spent on Sociopathic Oligarch toys.
Our tax money is for our citizens, and if Oligarchs can't understand that, then they don't understand their responsibilities to the country that has made them wealthy, and their fortunes will be confiscated, their corporations nationalized and operated for the enrichment of the American people, and they will be imprisoned. Their families will be left destitute, to start over.
That's how you stop Sociopathic Oligarchs - by going after THEM, not some poor immigrant family that just wants to pick enough berries to buy food for the day.
