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.

Fuck that delusional bitch and her toxic spawn. And fucknthe author for giving her a platform.
Interesting point, you make..
Is it more-effective to systematically-disappear contrary actors, such that we live in a filter-bubble, blind to what intentions are acting-on-forming-our-world..
XOR is it more-effective to selectively let such pathogen-intents be seen by us, to keep us immunized, & motivated, to lot-letting-them-win?
We can report on their actions without giving a platform to their opinions.
Except love their daughter unconditionally.
Except shut the fuck apparently
Who cares what that motheroffucker had to say?
I don't think they are guillotine-proof.
He can’t use his vast wealth to bring about positive change in the world. He cannot.
Guess they fucked their moms then.
I guess it's interesting to see how she views her son as blameless and contorts her worldview to ignore that he chose his fathers womanizing habits and money over her.
Who would want to reconcile that her abuser trained her son to abuse, and that mindset brought them both ridiculous wealth?
I'm not sure how all of this is news though, more like hiring your mother to get between you and a mob with pitchforks.
There's more proof of what Elon can't do than what he can. He's an incompetent, disgusting, shitstain of a human being. The only thing he has going for him is his money, otherwise he just likes to pretend like he's the smartest in the room, like a stereotypical redditor.
Ah, familial-narcissism .. the root of class-prejudice.
Know it for what it is.
( I was born into it, & 7+y, cumulative, of outright-homelessness helped grind-through that prejudice, in me.
Keep in mind that people are only responsible for their meaning over the long-term, simply because we're brainwashed into meaning whatever it is that our family/culture put in us until we grow-up enough..
She's certainly old-enough to choose her meaning, though.. ( now it dawns-on-me that people "educated" into rote-learning are categorically less-capable of deciding their own meaning, than are people who learn considered-reasoning.. damn, psychoevolution gets complicated, when counting all factors in it! )..
Oh, & the more-saturating/complete the social-pressure on someone, the less self-determining they are, so people can be pressured, continually, to maintain some social-identity, thereby eradicating from their life the ability to decide-their-own-meaning:
solitude & contemplation are a requirement for breaking historical-dysfunction's self-perpetuating rule!
Whatever: in cases like her kind, simply disregard them, & oppose the ideology that they're pushing:
it's much more emotionally effective to not bother engaging them-the-someone. )

Oh yeah, no matter what the challenge it can always get musked up.
Hw was a good boy, he wanted to be a doctor
I don't really care that much one way or another, but this would be a prime post for cross-posting to !EnoughMuskSpam@lemmy.world.
We know.
