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.

The famous American freedom!
Name any freedom that I don't have as an American that anyone else has elsewhere.
Sure. Drive as fast as you want on the Autobahn. Checkmate, buddy!
Americans can drive as fast as they want on racetracks. I break the speed limit on highways all the time with no consequences. Therefore we have the freedom which you have claimed we do not.
"We can just ignore all the laws which is why we have ultimate freedom."
Keep it coming. I still haven't heard anyone legitimately name a freedom that Americans don't have.
To be more specific about the Autobahn, yes that is a form of freedom, but it's more like a privilege as you must have licensing etc, and it's only applicable to one road network or system of highways. We have racetracks all over America with no speed limits, possibly even more miles of track than miles of Autobahn but that is just a wild guess.
Wild indeed
Public drinking.
We can drink in public in the USA, people do it all the time.
And drive at the same time a lot, because they are a fun loving people, but also always in a hurry.
You can walk around in my city in the US with open drinks whenever you want. I live in Ohio, so not even some kinda tourist place
I can enter any shop, any shop, buy a beer, go sit on a bench, and just drink it.
I too have the freedom to drink beer. We have already covered this one.
Good for you!
But you know it's not common in the US to have this right, you live in those 24 States that give you this freedom. I'll tell you more, it's baffling to me that I cannot drink in America (again, in most States, not the whole country, happy now?) if I'm the passenger in a car and you're driving.
Alcohol is legal in all 50 states, and people drink it as they please in general. Some states do allow passengers to drink in cars, and some even allow a driver to drink if they are below the DUI limit.
So you have a limited case for your point on that one, that some Americans can't drink alcohol as freely as others wherever they want to. I can concede that European countries have more freedom to drink alcohol than Americans have. We have a similar situation with cannabis laws, where some Americans have more freedom than others.
I have to say, is that all you've got? Some countries have more freedom to get drunk and high. That hasn't been much of an obstacle for the people I know that get drunk and high all the time though.
