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.

Christel Schaldemose, a Danish politician who is a center-left member of the European Parliament, said the way the U.S. has been talking about the E.U. in general lately is “not helping.”
“Could we start talking to each other as allies and not enemies?” she said.
No, Christel, because we are fully a Russian vassal state now. Our corrupt, craven politicians were so consumed by their own uniquely Christian lust, greed and fear that Putin was able to fully and completely own them all.
I've read about this tactic in effing up diplomatic relations 101
Alright Europe time to be relentless with the United States. I hope we get fucking sanctioned.
Imagine if those people looked up to us, we'd have to really question our values.
We did once. But then neocons decided to exploit your govt and eroded all faith. It's been a while.
Trust is gained in drops but lost in buckets.
I am nostalgic for the America that was a land of wonder. Making it great again is backfiring atm, but I do subscribe to that sentiment, not in the execution.
maybe they thought it was a compliment, because, you know, there's nothing more pathetic than the dynamic trio of soggy turd turned rancid, a couchfucker, and a drunken part-timer.
And Trump knows pathetic when he sees it… after all he’s leading the US in that field!
And hiring the most pathetic ass kissers he can find. Quite impressive actually.
National and world cup champion too!
People are saying he's the most pathetic. No one knows pathetic as much as Trump.
Of course everyone is pathetic except us. It's the only logical conclusion.
China and Russia will sit on the sidelines for WWIII at this pace
Yet another fool underestimates French Rugby.
The old Republican projection at work again.
"oh daddy you and mr russia are waay better than Europe. we love you please feed us with your bodily excrements, you are the best"
