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.

"Climate warming as...", NO!
There isn't a climate warning now that rivers are drying up. This has been a warning decades ago. This is what has been warned about becoming real!
Looking forward to the water wars. They're coming sooner than I expected.
So far, my plan for this is 'Move to Minnesota'.
Lots of fresh water, rental/housing prices are not completely absurd (yet?), and as the Earth generally warms it will probably make for more mild winters.
You're not going to be the only one with plans like that. There's a few billion more of us that would like some water too. In an actual resource conflict, that water is most likely going to be secured, prioritized, and rationed by government authorities first, if some random militias or warlords don't get to it first.
This isn't going to be a case of "oh I'll just move away from the fighting and chill and keep going to work and paying taxes". It's going to come to you no matter where you are. Easy access to fresh water is a pretty basic foundation of an advanced, stable society.
Oh yes, I am well aware that those things will happen, but its still probably better to be nearer to the actual resource than farther from it.
I moved from Colorado to the great lakes region partly for this reason. I was evacuated from both my home and workplace multiple times in the last 10 years I lived there due to wildfires. I don't miss living in the high desert. Cloudy winters are an adjustment though.
