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
They need to answer the most basic question. Why should someone choose to buy a Nissan over its competitors?
I'm still driving a 2010 Versa equipped with one of their last automatic transmissions and it's going strong. They used to have great affordably priced cars up until they introduced their horrendous CVTs. I've never been so disappointed with their offerings until test driving an Altima equipped with one. If you're not consistent with maintenance on the thing it'll end up costing you thousands of dollars to replace later. Add on the case that they made their vehicles the worst rated car for privacy by Mozilla (which is really saying something) and now you have a company that became very irrelevant in the 2010s onward.
It's sad a car company with such a great legacy might end up going away, but they brought this upon themselves by cutting corners in production costs, raising their prices beyond what's reasonable, and selling out their customer's privacy for an easy buck.
And that answer should hopefully be different than: I choose Nissan because my credit score is 300, I have $38k in debt to rollover into a new car loan, I'm opposed to insurance, and I like driving 98 in a 60, weaving with no signals.
I always see this stereotype but it must be a regional/American thing. In my part of Canada at least that stereotype would apply to Dodge, more specifically Dodge Journeys.
And rusty rams parked at every bar in red deer.
¿Por que no los dos?
I rented an Altima once. I may have been overcome with it's aura once or twice during the trip. That 4-banger is more than capable of hitting 100+ quite easily.
