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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

Because science and peer reviewed data helped to inform me of reality. As well as living with non-binary and trans people, not to mention dating a trans man.
I think you need to take a logic class or read logic primer. Let’s remove the negatives, “I am being taught everything I already know” hmmm yeah that makes sense. You should try learning things you don’t already know. This is what I ment by refusing to learn. Not challenging your own beliefs doesn’t lead to growth, it leads to ignorance.
Uhm this is the new stupidest thing I have seen today.
The information provided to me in these posts is not new to me. I am aware of this information already.
You invented something to disagree with good job buddy you are so smart.
Oh so you haven’t looked in a mirror today then.
Sure… I taught you about logic and you promptly dismissed it because you don’t understand it. I gave you the negated form of the statement you said. It’s still the same logical meaning, I just removed the double negative to make it easy for you to understand why that is an illogical statement. Take my statement “not challenging your own beliefs doesn’t lead to growth” now the negated version “challenging your beliefs leads to growth.” It’s seriously not that difficult. I didn’t invent something just to disagree with it. That’s called the strawman fallacy, instead I used logic to prove your statement illogical. If you understood logic you could have used much better reasons to argue with the original statement you had issues with to begin with. Instead you name call and demean everyone, an ad hominem fallacy.
But your logic was flawed this is doubling down on stupid. ???
In no way is it logical to refactor a sentence so you can disagree with it. Just disagree with it with double negatives you dumbass.
You taught me about logic? That is almost a delusion of grandeur.
Here I will remove the double negative, again:
I am not being taught new information.
Dumbass
Well i guess you are correct on one thing then, trying to teach you is definitely a delusion of grandeur. I feel so so sorry for any teachers you’ve had or have currently. If they made a go fund me to pay for the mental damage you’ve caused them, I’ll be sure to pitch in.
I’d love to see the logic behind my “flawed logic” but at this point you’re either too ignorant to learn or a troll. So I’m done engaging with your low effort. Come at me with real arguments and logic or fuck off.
Real simple if you want to remove a double negative you remove one of the negatives you don't remove both negatives.
I am not being taught new information.
It's right there buddy.
