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.

So long as you get yours, right?
Dude, straight up fuck you. The moment you voluntarily unhouse yourself for others you can open your mouth again and rejoin the adults in the conversation.
I did, from 2011-2015. I went on the road to protest, gave up everything, because I believe in something more important than myself.
How did you pay for your gas on the road? How did you keep yourself fed? How did you keep from freezing to death? What were you protesting? How did it turn out? Tell us more.
Considering the warm reception of this thread, I don't feel anyone here is worth wasting that time on. I'm writing a book about my adventures you can pirate it when it comes out.
You've been wasting a lot of time here already. A little more won't hurt. Come on, big guy. Tell us all how it's done.
Don't you have children to protect?
Nope.
So go out and protest!
You go out and protest, champ. Instead of spending every hour of the last two months on lemmy telling Americans what to do.
Don't you have anything else to do?
No one buys your fake af story of spending years in a car mooching of people "in protest". Especially if all you do now is troll US posts.
Grow up. Be better.
I already have/am. Is fascism over yet?
Nope. Guess you'll have to keep going out till it is! If you wont, who will?
My point is stop saying people aren't doing it when they are. Everywhere. Every single day.
Do you think Trump is trying to declare attacks on Tesla dealerships domestic terrorism because people are staying home on the couch?
You're acting like because we haven't seen instantaneous results, we must just all be doing nothing. If you have spent as much time protesting as you claim, you know that protest movements need to be long and sustained and also often need to gain momentum over time. You won't get a million people in the streets overnight.
Spoilers: They haven't.
