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.
-
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.

Yes, it is our entire airforce. Now send yours!
I'm from NL, we only have 24 F16's and I doubt they all work lol. But we also have 34 F35's, although I doubt they are all flight ready. But I completely agree, we should follow Belgium by sending our F16's too, next to the anti air we are gathering to send. We should all send more to support Ukraine! Even troops imo. They are fighting a battle not for just them, but for all of us.
But my initial comment was to make fun of Belgium, because whenever Dutchies have a chance to do so, they will. And vice versa right? Although I love the Belgians! Don't get me wrong!
The more we all send now, the fewer of our kids are going to die in the Baltics in ten years.
No, we don't mock the superior version of ourselves, you magnificent creature.
I've had many Belgian colleagues in the navy, besides them I know many others. They sure make a lot of fun of us and honestly, their jokes are way more accurate then ours haha! I'm surrounded by stupid, seriously. Look at our government and how we voted. It's fucking embarrassing and it's getting even worse. I want to move to Norway or something.
The Vlaams Belang will likely get a ton of votes, we ain't better.
Europe in general is a fucking shit show. Every 4th of May we remember the dead from the second World War and any war after that. "We need to remember, so it will never happen again." Europe is going further and further extreme right, supporting genocide of a Palestinian ghetto, voting for people shouting 30s Germany slogans. Just go drop them nukes please, first one right in top of my head, please and thank you. I don't want to live in this fucked up world anymore.
