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.

I love how you think that's equivalent. That's the issue with vroomers nd why beside everything they say, they will never change. There is a kind of brainrot in being able to just sit your fatass in a pollution machine and just be able to go places in comfort. They know about the harm they do of course, they know about the noise, they know about the planet, they know about the lung cancers they spread and they know about the pedestrians getting killed. But they're just too lazy. So the car becomes a part of their body, and inconvenience starts to get felt like physical pain.
Then, murdering a person for blocking the way becomes acceptable.
Fucking psychos
Quick anger management lesson for you: direct that anger at a car dealership that doesn't have any electric vehicles on the lot.
Not at random people going about their business.
There is a reason for the difference between how society has reacted to school shooters vs Luigi.
Electric vehicles aren't any sort of solution.
EVs aren't a solution to any sort of problem that you know of or care about.
I own an EV, and bicycles. I sacrificed much battling climate change, even starting a business towards my goals. Refusing much higher paid employment opportunities. I think you misinterpreted my comment entirely.
Then I would ask you to clarify your comment. If EVs aren't any sort of solution, it doesn't make any sense for you to own one.
The problem with cars isn't solely because of the internal combustion engine. Replacing ICE cars with EV's doesn't solve the problems associated with the infrastructure and city planning we've built around cars.
EV's aren't the solution. Trains are.
I have no interest in urban planning. Trains are not a feasible option for me, as the overwhelming majority of my destinations are located in areas without sufficient population density to justify rail infrastructure.
We share only the environmental concerns, not your social preference for public transit.
