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
Once the referendum happens and Alberta overwhelmingly votes to stay in Canada, I would love to see these maple MAGA fuck heads rounded up, and shipped off to America and let them live there.
Fuck these losers. Asshats and losers is all they are.
Want to be American so bad? Cool. Immigrate and get the fuck out of Canada, yankee loser wannabes.
Enjoy your co pay and fascism dickheads.
The reality is that if Canada doesn't deal with them one way or another, they won't stop. These kinds of people never think "welp, guess I was wrong. Time to go back to being a normal human".
No they never do stop. they just divide, get smaller and less support.
this is not the first time canada had to watch their conservative party get usurped by idiots. happened in the 80s/90s where there was progressive vs reform conservatives. no doubt it has happened before then too. there is no way to 'deal' with a racist. they will not be dealt with with any form of reasoning. they dont want to be dealt with. they fully believe it is everyone else who has to be dealt with.
The nutjobs can only hold base for so long before the whole party abandons them when they were like "i just wanted affordable housing... i wasnt looking to be a nazi" and boom, suddenly you have two conservative parties: one being racist shitheads that nobody can stand for more than 2 seconds and the other just wanting affordable housing. Neither ever gain traction while separate but cannot stand eachother long enought to be effective single party. then they repeat this cycle again and again.
i try to think of it like the racists are a bacteria that gets washed off the conservative party every decade. no, they will never leave alberta. they will always be there. always have been there. it is just that new generations come along and all forget these shit heads will never have their best interests when they seek to fill out numbers for their party. heck these idiots couldnt even vote in their own best interests. these insufferable assholes just want to hurt others.
