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.

Pretty ironic though. That comment was in the context of talking about how easy it is for people to dismiss the abuse these Indigenous women went through.
Cue, an entire comment section that is mostly focussed on discussing whether white people feel attacked, than the decades of hell these women endured.
Which goes to show how you undermine your own important message if you lace it with your own racist language.
That's one way to admit that some white people will put their delicate sensibilities over and above actual genocide.
And apparently also to show some people find it more important to include a stupid divisive sneer in their rhetoric rather than get their actual point across.
I think you're right, but I think that undermining mostly happens because of skewed priorities.
I just want to know that I'm at least fucking safe in left-spaces. I expect right-wing spaces to denigrate me. They're shitheads to begin with. But is it too much to ask that the issue of being part-white not lead into part of me being sneered at?
It's tiring, man. I just want it to end.
White is not a race.
Then neither is black right? Race doesn't actually exist of course, the only race is human. But we like to put people in boxes so we came up with the white race and the black race and so on. Because we're all idiotic monkeys that love labels.
All races are a social construct. But the fact that race is a social construct doesn't mean it doesn't exist and attitudes towards race doesn't affect people.
I want to live in a world where no one sees race. But that's not the world we live in. Pretending race doesn't exist is just ignoring problems and allowing them to persist.
Your attitude that white is not a race is the same attitude of those that want to pretend that "not seeing race" is an enlightened way of thinking when really they just want to ignore issues.
