Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Forced offstage but proverbially, not literally.
The thugs came looking for Kunal after he uploaded a video on YouTube. Morons thought the video was live. Kunal was in a different state at the time of attack.
The venue that was attacked was closed for 2-3 months.
This country is cooked.
Wild how many countries have moved towards despotism masquerading as democracies.
It’s all a product of Silicon Valley. They’ve hollowed out the mental capacity of most of the Earth at this point. Zuckerfuck & Friends have traded human civilization for cash, and now they’re creating machines that will devour all possibility of escaping slavery, for anyone, ever again.
This country is cooked.
India has not exactly been known for the measured, rational responses of political or religious zealots in recent years, if ever.
What was the joke he made?
In March, he uploaded to YouTube a stand-up special that had been recorded months earlier at Mumbai’s iconic Habitat club. The show, in part, poked fun at Mr. Modi’s party breaking up regional parties in the cash-rich state of Maharashtra to emerge victorious in the local elections.
In a segment parodying a famous Bollywood song, Mr. Kamra hinted that Eknath Shinde — who had broken up his own party and brought a faction of it to Mr. Modi — was a “gaddar” or traitor. Although Mr. Kamra hadn’t mentioned him by name, Mr. Shinde’s lieutenants immediately threatened violence unless he issued an apology.
