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. 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 10/19
-
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.

Love how you’re getting downvoted for promoting a vegetarian diet in a thread about…eating less meat lol, I guess there are more ex-Redditors here than I realized.
Nothin like taking an all or nothing stance on someone elses diet.
People who eat meat are taking a pretty all or nothing stance on animal lives, a diet isn't just a diet when victims are involved.
Its a meat eat meat world my friend. Being my dinner is better than the carnivor that eats you alive and toys with your innards as it enjoys your screams of pain.
The circle of life ends in death and the laws of nature demands consumption.
That doesn't work when we're breeding them by the billions specifically to kill them, you aren't saving anyone from anything.
But there would have been dozens of other species using the resources and slaughtering each other as I said above.
It would be the same scale of slaughter, just spread out and brutal as described above.
The meat industry has problems that should be discussed, but taking a moral stance of eating meat is evil is a most privileged delusional take.
No it would not, wild predators cannot set up factory farms.
Killing others when you can easily avoid it is clearly evil.
We can just eat plants.
What do you think wild predators eat?
Again, the delusional privilege is dripping out of your comment. Everybody can just eat plants...
We have a choice, they do not, we can choose not to breed and kill animals just because we like how they taste.
Why choose to be cruel when we can easily avoid it?
Yes we can just eat plants.
Yea, I've entertained the delusion as far as I care to.
Enjoy making 0 progress socially in the name of veganism.
You haven't responded to any of the points I've made.
Just calling someone delusional without saying why you think that doesn't work.
