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.

who "we" ? You probably meant their own monopolist media lies about them. Those are servile servants of a few genocidal feudalist monopolists with real names, addresses, and private property on grounds nearby and bank accounts hidden behind a few layers of fraudulent abstraction accounts in places of the like of Panama and Luxembourg. With a wave of privatization of collective-use property (a.k.a. rich elite robbing low and middle revenue classes) from the 1970's 'neo-liberal' doctrine monsters (e.g. Milton Friedman, Friedrich Hayek, Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, etc.), in the 2020's now almost every industry market has an infection of 3-4 corporations owning more than half of the market share, in some cases up to 90%. This problem is known to have happened 3 times so far in recorded history of income and wealth distribution, and every iteration yielded an approximately very similar result: (1) the French Revolution of 1789 from a society where approximately 3% of the population (mostly aristocrats and clergy) owned most of the wealth of France, (2) World War I, from a society where, in most European countries, up to 90% wealth was under gunpoint-based ownership of as few as 10% of the population, and (3) World War II from a society with a distribution of income and wealth similar as that of the development of WWI, where in many European countries, the richest 10% owned up to approximately 90% of national income and wealth. Every iteration where income and wealth distribution became so inequitable and unequal, inequality came back down to normal levels by war. For example, in French society of the early 1900s, a lawyer or a doctor fresh out of studies would earn approximately 12x LESS THAN AN INHERITOR of one of the top 10% wealth family estates doing VACATIONING ALL YEAR LONG, collecting interest on capital ownership, i.e. from having a name on a paper. ALTERNATIVELY, societies and countries with more livable and defendable REGULATION of excesses of capitalist feudalism, i.e. social democracy societies and countries, have had much smoother, respectable, defendable, and remarkable trajectories.
