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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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
Sometimes I think it must be a psyops by the billionaires to divide and demoralize the left. Then I remember some people are just so dumb.
you seriously think liberals are part of left? lol.
QED
Liberals are not leftist
QED
Libs aren't left, lmao.
QED
Literally the start of left politics is anti-capitalist. Literally, liberals aren't leftists.
I recognize that "the left" in America is the democratic party. That's a you problem.
And thats kinda where the term 'liberal' comes from
It means that they want to 'LIBERALly restructure and readjust the capitalistic economy and societies so thst these ecoonomies and society favour them and their cronies'
There has NEVER been a liberal ideology that has explicitly stated we shall destroy capitalism eternally. They always say 'structurally readjust capitalism'
Meanwhile the socialists and anarchists are the ONLY people who have ever said they want to eternally destroy capitalistic economids and societies to thst they favour the workers collectively or that they favour individual , loose communities .
Anyone who calls themselves a 'leftist' but isnt an anarchist or socialist can EASILY be outed as a rightist with a. few questions. I have never encountered a single person that has proven that Im wrong about this. And I never will lol.
Well yeah because it's definitional, lol.
I'm not in America, never lived there, will never live there.
Seriously, it's like you guys insist on being unpopular and divisive, it almost (almost) looks like sabotage at this point.
I'm just trying to explain definitions to you lol. Liberals do not want what leftists want.
Leftists also don't want what other leftists want, that's not the definition.
Incorrect, lol. Nice try though.
Exhibit A
Leftists want the workers to own the means of production. That's the baseline.
Yeah, nah.
Yeah, you're 12.
Ad hominem
I thought we were past fallacies when you replied "yeah, nah", lmao.
It's not a fallacy, you were just wrong.
That's what I've been saying about you this whole time!
QED
😂
I love the little downvotes, I bet it makes you feel powerful.
You have strange ideas about power. Hope you have a good weekend, lib!
And still you continue
