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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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.

Thing is, the older people get, the more selfish they seem to get too. The entire world burning down in 10 years doesn't matter if you're 98. So more life experience isn't automatically more credible.
That's a bullshit generalization, or "stereotype". Jane Goodall just died at a ripe old age and she was a saint. You're not debating, just throwing bullshit assumptions out and acting like you just wrote a thesis paper on experience.
There's always exceptions.
That doesn't change this:
And in general, if you look at politicians, the few who actually fight for the future are on the younger side (think AOC, Mamdani, etc). Yes, obviously there are exceptions. Bernie Sanders being a huge one.
Cool, now let's talk about the overwhelming majority of today's youth leaning right. If young people are so much smarter why are so many of them falling into that trap?
Oh shit, it's almost like making generalizations leads to you spouting bullshit out of context. I can just as easily paint today's youth as absolute morons.
But you're so ready to be like "old people dumb and evil" that you forget this is all about calling Greta " a child". You know, like your grandma might do to your adult self because, from her perspective, you still are.
Go touch some grass you fucking loser. We're talking about someone being abused and you're nitpicking over the definition of "child". You've missed the mark so far you're not even in the same stadium.
I'm talking natural leanings vs all the young people currently being exposed to right wing propaganda which is different.
There's a common saying "you'll grow out of liberalism" among older conservatives.
Oh, you have a SAYING?!? Omg, another vague generalization? Holy shit, how have we as a species survived for so long without your wisdom, Plato??? You need to tell the masses!
Hey everyone, this guy has boiled down all of politics to a few simple sayings! We've found the Messiah!
Fucking dumbass 😑
Again, this is about someone older referring to a young person as "still a child". That's it, you fucking tool. How daft are you?
Look, it's been statistically documented that people lean farther right as they get older, because they're more successful and more sheltered from life without social safety nets. It's natural, it's called "fuck you, got mine".
You were essentially saying someone in their 20s isn't worth listening to. YOU are part of the problem. We should be considering the opinions of the people who have to live on this planet for another 50-70 years, not exclusively those who are dying soon and couldn't give a fuck about the future.
Ok, so you just keep wanting to try and derail this into talking about becoming conservative when you get older.
For the last time you retarded mouse:
An older person described Greta as "still a child" because from their perspective she is. I never said she wasn't worth listening to. Not once. Get some reading comprehension.
And your daft retarded ass keeps missing that point over and over and over and going on and on about conservativism.
You're retarded or a troll. Have fun being blocked cus I won't see you anymore. People like you are why they put warning labels on everything. You'll still die of stupidity, but at least your family won't be able to sue.
Go huff the end of a tailpipe.
Hope I don't turn into an asshole like you when I get older.
