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.

MODERATORS
Propaganda Works. Inviting a social media oligarch to run your party's propaganda is going to work.
Germany, your time is running out to stop this. Trust us.
My dude, we have the same issues you do. Half the voting population actually wants to be governed by fascists. You can't get rid of them democratically.
It's not really a question of democracy as such, it's a question of media literacy and policy.
Kids under 16 should not be on social media. Social Media should be required to expunge all their data every 30 days. Influence campaigns that we know russia and China run should be illegal, and punishable.
That's for starters. Media theory for everyone. Explain how television works on television. Limit advertising. Limit demographic data for private interests, not much more for government interests.
The hole that we're in isn't because people have racist views (though they do) , or that the mechanisms of democracy are under attack (though they are) - it's that we all stare at lighted rectangles all day. And what those rectangles are doing is grinding everyone's discourse into mush.
And who do you think is controlling the media and funding the educational systems? Olligarchs and their puppet politicians. You won't get rid of them and the system they perverted beyond recognition without luigis and guillotines.
I disagree, but if that is your belief, you'll need to get to guillotining and . . luigi-ing. The longer you wait the harder it would be.
Like, here, on Lemmy, we have a media not controlled by them. And an actual, physical, elementary classroom is somewhat influenced by oligarchs in the form of government mandates, but it can also point out that influence and work against it.
It's not enough for free media just to exist. It has to be mainstream to have any hope of counteracting all the disinformation out there.
You can't?
That's why I'm going to vote for a party I don't believe in. Normally I would vote for one of the parties I do believe in and help them build momentum on their path toward 5% – but with the AfD on the rise and the Union blatantly putting personal opportunism over the interests of the country, I can't afford my vote to not count.
Once more I wish we had a preferential voting system so people can vote for who they believe in and fall back to a less preferred alternative if necessary.
The whole fucking planet is gonna be burned to a god damned cinder because of these fucking freaks.
The foot is definitely on the gas pedal. This is everything accelerationists want.
I don't recall who said this but the planet will be fine, humans not so much.
George Carlin.
That's actually, surprisingly, huffing copium.
We're fucking our environment so bad, we may actually genuinely kill off all other life, not allowing there to be a way to regrow and evolve.
The level of heat and the speed at which it will come will be just too much for many species to adapt to.
Like maybe some bacteria in some deep oceanic vents will survive, but the vast majority of life on this planet is super, super, super fucked. Basically it's almost ensured that most multicellular life is toast.
A changing climate was behind other mass extinctions but we also have pollution, overfishing the ocean, and mass destruction of forests. All this taken together creates very real risks that nobody will make it and Earth will return to being a lifeless rock and exist much like Venus.
I kind of don't care if a fucking hunk of rock spinning through space with no life on it is "fine."
Life survived a massive asteroid strike that basically caused photosynthesis to cease for several years, maybe decades, as well as being 100% covered by glaciers several times in what they call "snowball Earth".
Do you have any sources for "basically it's almost ensured that most multicellular life is toast" or is this supposition? I'm a biologist and, while I think anthropogenic climate change is an extreme threat, have yet to see even the most extreme projections getting us anywhere near what you're suggesting.
Basically it's almost ensured that most multicellular life is toast.
Based on what? Look at previous extinction events, especially Permian-Triassic. The earth survived 2500ppm CO2 concentration and an 8℃ increase in temperature. Tons of species went extinct but it was very far from being a lifeless rock.
Chicxulub impact? That makes simultaneously detonating all the nuclear weapons ever produced by humans look like a firecracker.
I don’t disagree with your assessment that tons of life will be absolutely fucked. I don’t agree though that we can somehow end life altogether on Earth. I don’t even think we could do that if we tried.
How does a vote on asylum rules affect climate change
