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 AM THE DWEAD PIWATE WOBERTS, AND TWUMP'S BETWAYAL OF UKRAINE WILL HAVE TEWWIBLE CONSEQUENCES
Wewease Wodewick!
I am a random person on the internet
Trump’s Ukraine betrayal will have terrible consequences.
Everything he does will have terrible consequences.
He himself is a walking talking terrible consequence.
Not for him, though. It sucks that the kings of today - and Trump, at this point, can definitely be referred to as such - will probably not face any consequences for their actions. Throughout history, it has always taken a few generations for their empires to come crashing down.
Gaddafi, Diem, Batista, Arafat, Noriega, Suharto, Hussein, Mubarak. You could open a fucking museum of leaders who made the mistake of trusting the US.
Like Kissinger said: to be an enemy of America is dangerous but to be America's friend is fatal.
As an American, I'm dying to see trump face the consequences of his actions, but not at the expense of Ukraine.
I hate to be the bear with bad news but if he hasn't faced any yet I am struggling to see it happening at all.
The government isn't going to make him face consequences.
The justice system isn't going to make him face consequences.
The only people left to do it are the people of the United States. And I haven't seen any of them doing anything.
At this point he isn't going to face any consequences.
He won’t. Ever.
The best we can hope for is his shit diet to catch up with him quickly and for JD fucking Vance to be more sane.
We’re fucked.
Implying that the US was trustworthy in any way lol. Ukraine should have learned from the Kurds.
The Kurds were also betrayed by 45 / 47. As were the Afghan people. It's almost like he's helping our adversaries with his foreign policy. Nooo, surely this is fine.
Wait! He's working out a deal with Congo to prevent the 48h pandemic from reaching the US!.... Here we go! All flights to be canceled! C'mon baby!
This just in, Trump demand gold, diamonds and really hot virgins from Congo. In exchange the virus came from Gina bigly. And large black plastic bags, which is not racist by the way.
If you haven't heard, a bunch of kids in Congo ate bats (WTF man!) And then died within 48hr of getting sick. Not a pandemic, doesn't transmit thru the air, go back to sleep.
