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.

Pro tip: Don't work at a fast food restaurant if you expect a livable wage. There are other options, especially in the US.
You're implying that certain jobs don't deserve a living wage, but it's fine because higher wages exist in other jobs. So should fast food just disappear? Who is going to work these jobs that don't deserve a living wage? Slaves?
Teenagers looking for part time jobs, recent retirees looking for additional cash, folks that have partners witb 'living wage' jobs. And I never said anything about anyone deserving anything. My pro tip was, if you want a living wage, you will not find it at a fast food job. Try harder. Or, continue to piss and moan on the internet.
You seem utterly clueless. Old people don't work as a greeter at Wal-Mart for "extra cash" they do it because they would be homeless otherwise. Teenagers can be exploited, old people can be exploited, but it's fine because you consider fast food to be a shit job. You're a gigantic asshole.
I worked in fast food for six years beginning at age 19. I worked my way up into management and became a training manager during a growth phase of the company helping to launch five new restaurants. I typically managed crew teams of 35-40 and 4-5 assistant mgrs. I know a HELL of a lot about the business, AND the people that work in them. I believe everyone should work in a fast food restaurant (or some other public facing retail/service business) for a time to get an appreciation for what those jobs entail. And I am very qualified, certainly more so than you, when I state that expecting a living wage from a fast food job is a fool's errand.
Now, I'm pretty sure you have violated the rules for posting here with your childish response and expect the moderator(s) to delete your comment.
