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.

Attacking mods only gets you a ban. Enjoy!
Found an escaped Reddit mod! How’d you get here spez?
LOL - Reddit mods would just nuke the comments and not say why. I'm at least going to give you a reason.
Exactly , on reddit the entire chain would be either deleted and locked with a few bans handed out , or the post locked for civility or whatever or outright deleted haha.
People really get angry at you for properly modding without the heavy weight reactions of reddit mods.
Lemmy in general gets mad at modding full stop. There's a large contingent of anarchists who chafe at anyone else daring to tell them what they can and cannot do.
Well, welcome to "life" kids. Without mods, this place would be over-run with spam, CSAM, propaganda, calls for murder and mayhem, and overt toxic hostility to other users.
We don't allow that shit. Don't like it? Nobody is forcing you to stay.
thats just false anarchists then, anarchism is kinda all being on the same level and helping each other , your helping us just by keeping all the bad stuff out in short said.
btw thanks for modding.
Thanks! Yeah, they don't handle explanations well. LOL.
I always liked this definition from "The Anarchists Tool Chest" (free PDF download):

"Anarchy from a Woodworker’s Perspective
I hesitated to use the word “anarchy” in the title of this book because it means so many bad things to so many good people. In my high school, the “anarchists” wore “Bad Brains” leather jackets, black make-up (that was the boys) and had questionable hygiene.
They weren’t anarchists. They called themselves anarchists, but they knew as much about anarchism as they did about flossing.
Anarchy is the precise and correct word for my situation. And if you’ll bear with me, I think you’ll understand why a boring guy from the Mid-west who likes blue jeans and button-down shirts is a quiet anarchist.
For me, it’s quickest to explain what anarchy isn’t. It’s not about violence, the overthrow of governments, the dismantling of corporations or even the smoking of a mild hallucinogen made from boiling banana peels (actually, I tried this. I don’t recommend it or the searing headache it brings). Instead, anarchism is the realization that all large institutions – governments, corporations, churches – have divided up the tasks we do in our jobs to the point where these institutions do wasteful, dehuman-izing and stupid things.
Eunice Minette Schuster states in the book “Native American Anarchism” that American aesthetic anarchy is “the isolation of the individual – his right to his own tools, his mind, his body, and to the products of his labor.”
It’s a desire to work for yourself and to run in social and economic circles made up of other individual artisans.
Hey, that’s me. Heck, I have to believe that Schuster’s description applies to most woodworkers I know. We generally labor alone, producing objects that are the result of just our tools, our minds and our hands. These objects are a slap in the face of the cheap, mass-manufactured termite-diarrhea furniture in the discount stores. And we’re proud of the fact that our furniture is better than the stuff force-fed to the masses.
Though woodworking might seem a traditional, old-time skill, it is rare and radical stuff in this age."
Pathetic
You'd prefer a mod who just operates silently? Offending bullshit is going to be removed either way, the choices are doing it with or without transparency.
I can take out the trash all night.
Hey, what's the shortest ban you can give someone? I wanna set a record.
Do you realize how much effort this takes?
None. At all. Bu-ban, unban. :)
Fastest permaban I did was on a spam account. Caught it within 7 minutes of account creation and posting.
Fastest ban I've seen was done by an admin on one of those hundreds of "Anti-Yanks" accounts. Banned instantly on creation. They didn't even get to post.
Oh my god, that's genuinely made my entire week. I'm crying with laughter right now.
I don't know what it is about subversive behavior appearing in official documentation that amuses me so much.
Reddit
We don't have anywhere near the trash reddit does, but that doesn't mean we tolerate it.
Reddit would just be:
I'm at least going to tell you why something got removed.
A message about how the thread is locked because "y'all can't behave" would be the cherry on top of this
I'm never going to lock a thread because it's "too hard to moderate", reddit does that all the time and I consider that to be giant pussy mod behavior.
Yeah agreed on that one
