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.

Why do all stories have random bolded sections now?
It should be up to the readers to pick out important parts of an article.
…. Or you know, the authors choice to bold what they find important, y’know because they’re the ones writing the story and you can and should be looking at multiple sources for a bigger picture
The authors aren't bolding these sections, though.
Author of the article, author of the post, etc
You don’t put restrictions on citizens, you highlight the dangers and let them decide for themselves. The authors choice to put a bolded section here is and should always be interpreted as their own and people should read the article themselves.
Everything that I said before still stands in this case
Bolding sections may or may not be carryover from the original article and can be confusing. People should read the article and reach their own conclusions of what's important without influence, which you keep agreeing with me about. Altering an article is editorializing it, and last I checked this is a news community that should be posting unaltered articles.
My first post was a simple question and statement. I'm not sure what crawled up your ass this morning but there was nothing said that gave license for you to be a dick in your responses. Good day.
Nothing crawled up my ass, I’m being pretty civil here. Not sure how you’re reading it in your own head cannon, but I promise it was just conversational. Sorry if any of what I said led you to think otherwise.
The original source is still posted, bolding sections is probably the absolute least amount of “editorial” as you can get.
Just pointing out that the use of bold font in summarizing an article is pretty harmless. That’s all.
