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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

Your leaders are pussies and have been mostly disappointing in the face of fascism; sucking up to Trump up until the more vivid threats to Greenland, and being almost equally as complicit in letting the Palestinian genocide happen that tipped the domino for delegitimizing international law.
Neoliberalism is what made room for fascism to rise in the US, it'll be what tanks your continent if you do not put pressure on your leaders, elect populist leaders with an actual vision for the future of Europe, and grind those fucking shit-stain Nazis to a fucking dust.
I've never been more embarrassed to be an American, but those of us that knew that Trump was a fucking fascist are the ones organizing against his paramilitary with relentless protests, organizing two general strikes, and winning special elections against the right just this month. The public is getting radicalized and are arming themselves.
And to remind you guys that money isn't everything in an election, there was a special election last year that Musk dumped billions of dollars into, to prop up one of their MAGA hacks because they wanted that district strategically, and they fucking lost. Leftwing Zohoran Mamdani in NYC was also facing against billionaires, but won with a populist campaign and is the most popular politician in the country.
Anyway, US hegemony is over, and you guys have to make it for the better. I grieve our relationship with Europe, but you guys are on your own now and the rest is up to you. Protest your leaders if they suck Trump's cock, elect leaders that are willing to dump US bonds and get rid of the US dollar as the world reserve currency. Get yourself and your people involved in your elections for people that will fight for you. I pray for a better future for the world, even if it means this country will get what it rightfully deserves.
