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.

I'm keenly aware of the difference between conservatism and conservationism.
Conservatives are famous for aggresively damaging the planet with their destructive legislation and anti-science positions. They are a plague of death in desperate need of a cure.
The mission of conservatives, based on their actions, appears to be the destruction of the planet's inhabitants. It is a cancer that will stop at nothing to kill us all. Conservatives delight in the misery and death of others and, if we do not stop them, they will gleefully kill us all.
Conservatism should be abolished and erased from the planet.

This is like the war on "terrorism" or "drugs" (drugs won, lol), you can't wage war on thoughts or things, no matter how progressive and futuristic we become there are going to be "conservatives", people that don't want to change this or that, religious folks, even conservationists, abolishing them isn't just monstrous and unreasonable, but probably impossible, it's also by nature a conservative reaction. Progressivism and conservatism are sliding scales going to infinity, each way representing one of the two values, so where would you even put the line? There's always going to be "too conservative" or "too progressive". It's like how back in the day people protested automobiles, or when we stopped murdering "witches". It's like one of those people who called Harry Potter "satanic" and now Harry Potter is all good with right wingers because JK Rowling is a TERF.
What is progressive and what is conservative even switches sides in certain circumstances too, like when during the "Southern strategy" occurred where the center left liberal Republican party, and the center Right Conservative Democratic party of the 1800's became the Center Left Liberal Democratic party and Center Right Conservative Republican party of the 1960's onward.
You have to know you're enemy, just saying conservative is too vague, as conservative is a political spectrum, you're talking about the American GOP/Republicans, or the British Tory's, or the rest of the shit heads on this list.
Problem is, most people who want to save the planet hate the very people who is able to kickstart a space industry development
