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.

But what about the feelings of the rich people? They might not like that!
And their quarterly profits!
Dude the lockdowns started WW3. This narrative that only the rich people benefit from the economy is nonsense.
WFH is available to those who work at desks. Thinking that’s the whole economy is blind.
So many logical jumps here.
"WW3" ? wtf..
"narrative" that wasn't mentioned.
The "whole economy" that also was not mentioned.
Try responding to the comment as written, not the voices in your head and it might appear more coherent to others.
Your echo chamber is showing in how much you read into things. Wow.
Life Pro Tip for ya: Try engaging with the words on the screen as written not the voices in your head and your feed.
Here is how I interpreted those comments:
"During the height of the pandemic, the air got substantially better as a result of people not traveling (lockdowns)”
“We need to be willing to disrupt people’s lives like we did during pandemic response (lockdowns)”
—
“Those disruptions’ negative effects would be felt by rich people, but I don’t care about their narrow needs compared to the needs of all humanity”
If you disagree with my interpretation, what is your interpretation (in your own words) of what was being said?
I'd be happy to explain what they said. But you need to explain the extra leaps of logic you used to get where you did.
I've answered some of your questions. It's your turn because this conversation is unfair if I'm putting in 10x more effort than you.
Nah. You made all the wild claims. You don't get to shift the burden when someone calls you on your bullshit.
If you won't, or can't, that's fine. I'll just assume you were full of shit all along and everyone else that reads this will be justified in doing the same.
TLDR; put up or shut up.
Yeah that's basically my point. I was trying to be polite with the asking for some effort on you part too, but really what I'm getting at is that you can't provide those answers because you know the moment you enter an honest discussion you might have to step out of the inquisitor role which you obviously enjoy.
You win. I lose. Good night.
So you won't explain yourself and try to call me the asshole for asking you to back up your claims.
Gotcha.
You can, with all due respect, fuck off now.
