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.

Trump and the rest of the Putin-bootlickers can go fuck themselves.
May Europe do what the US is apparently no longer willing to, and provide Ukraine the necessary support to defend itself.
And the people complaining that people who want to support Ukraine against an outside invasion are warmongers can go fuck themselves with a cactus.
Right, defending allies is sooo edgy.
They are going to have to. But the western rules based order is as sickly there as it is everywhere else. Inconvenient laws are just ignored these days by European governments too, so it appears to be just a matter of time. (I hope I'm wrong, for what thats worth)
Spoiler alert: it won't
Yes, it's vital for Europe to unite against aggression from russia. That, including invasion of Ukraine, is expanding with attacks on communication cables at sea.
Maybe, symmetrically, Europe should support China's ambition on Taiwan, so to make people at the "white" House understand common sense.
"Supporting Russia's ally to get back at Russia" doesn't make a lot of sense.
Right, of course. But if it is only in the discourse ... to make pressure ... still doesn't make sense ?
No, it doesn't make any sense. Chinas claim to Taiwan is as illegitamate as Russia's claim is to Ukraine.
Yes, of course both are illegitamate ... and there's no way Trump's negotiators believe their stance on Ukraine is legitimate either. My point is to make those negotiators admit their position is invalid by symmetry.
You had me with the first sentence. Then you walloped me with that second big line of stupid.
lol. wow. I'm speechless. But I think you were snarking, so uh.
i now realize what i wrote was nonsensical since i really don't want Europe to support China's ambition on Taiwan, yet, i would like if Europe could do "tit for tat" on USA's stupid take on Ukraine that is exposing Europe to russia's military madness.
"tit for tat +" is demonstrably the best strategy to prevent escalation of conflicts and push for peace.
It's not difficult to support an enemy of the USA these days thankfully, just lend your support to Canada.
They deserve it, and we need to stand with them against US Imperialist aggression.
You know two wrongs don't make a plus
