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.

Majority Labor and Potato lost his seat, blessed be the aussies.
Mot really, Labor did nothing over the last 3 years and get rewarded for that as well as Greens losing a few seats.
Best case scenario was minority Labor gov shared with the Greens.
gee i guess the fact that we scored 2nd in the world on the IMF balanced budgets globally is nothing! if you don’t win you’re a loser
Yes, the Labor Party have demonstrated they're inadequate to solve our ongoing crises. The Greens appear to have kept their strong crossbench position in the senate so I can't be too disappointed.
The massive infrastructure project 5 minutes from my house is not nothing. I'm very happy Labour are putting my taxes towards constructing the nation.
Agreed but let's be honest, that would've relied on people voting for their best interests and, as always, Australians generally vote governments out. The safest way to vote out Liberal is to vote Labor and, so, we have a majority.
Almost the exact playbook as in Canada. Except it's a close minority here. But the Maple Maggot, after losing his own seat, has decided to take over another MP's seat in a by-election.
I know the chances are very, very slim, but I'd love to see the people of Battle-River-Crowfoot vote ABC and make that little weiner lose again.
There are so many hilarious opportunities with this by-election.
-91 candidates run and he comes in 91st
-Trudeau also runs there and wins
-He runs, loses, and repeats the process until the Liberals have a majority
No repetition necessary. The Liberals are one seat away from a majority.
The riding he's chosen to run in is one of the most conservative in the country. The guy who's stepping down won something like 80% of the vote.
But, the Liberals should run someone who actually lives in that riding and keeps reminding the voters there that Poilievre doesn't live there and doesn't know anything about his new riding. It won't be enough to keep him from winning this time, but there's a chance that over time it will start to matter to voters that their MP doesn't live there and knows nothing about their riding.
Dude I'm clearly not serious with that comment and am just writing a sitcom in my head
Trudeau might be the first candidate to ever achieve a negative number of votes if he ran in Crowfoot.
Ok that'd be hilarious too 🤣
