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.

Based on this comment alone, I couldn’t possibly think they’d have had any reason….
Hey, you love capitalism. Lmk how that works out.
I can definitely definitively see why you got banned.
I'd say "you're not wrong, you're just an asshole" but you're wrong too. You're so deep in your slogans that you completely lost the fact that life isn't that easy. There is no one size fits all government type, and your "Communism fixes everything" attitude is about as naive as it gets.
There are some good ideas in communism, sure. There are also loads of bad ideas in communism that simply won't work. Overall communism is NOT the most successful system, which is why by now almost no country uses it anymore, and most countries that had it, no longer do.
Like it or not, capitalism is the most successful system to create new resources, it's why the US won and Russia lost, back in the day. Capitalism also has a boat load of bad ideas, many of which are currently running wild, which is why the US sucks so bad right now.
The solution is not to just drop capitalism and switch to full blown communism, especially if you want to avoid "fun" situations of having Cheka security murdering everyone who disagrees (watch "the chemists", it's a fun indication of what to expect!)
The solution is to pick the best pieces of both, and curtail the worst ideas and impulses of both systems. Use a limited and highly controlled capitalist system that gives people the freedom to trade however they want. Use income and networth based taxes to ensure no-no can get crazy rich. Use the high tax revenue to support a socialist system that ensures all people have all the basic rights whether they (can) work or not; food, water, healthcare, housing, education, internet access... It allows everyone to be free to live how they want, not something you'll see under communism.
Either way, calling people "capitalist pigs" just shows you're immature and that you're spouting slogans.
Well fucking said!
