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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 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.

Fucking lol, with this sino propaganda.
Stfu cia shill
How exactly am I a CIA shill? This is the kind of shit that makes people not take you seriously at all.
"Everyone must be a shill because they disagree with me!!"
I'm equally critical of both the US hegemony as well as that of China's.
I'm saying China hasn't bombed nearly as many countries as America. Yet China is evil and America good.
Take a moment to understand what you're arguing here. China not bombing an equal number of countries (according to you) as the US does not absolve the PRC of their sins simply because you are comparing them to another imperial power. This is, like, textbook false equivalence.
You still haven't answered exactly how I'm a CIA shill, btw.
China and America are the two biggest economies and armies of the world. It's a fair comparison. Soon the world will have to choose between America and China.
It's not "according to me". History is proof of America's terrorism. China hasn't bombed a single country in over a century.
Deep in that sino sauce, I see. You're just a propagandist with no legitimate intent for discourse.
Peace, you dummy.
Looks like you have no arguments left to defend the "peace loving" west.
Bombing other countries isn't the only metric you should be using.
As someone who lives on the earth, I care a lot about not being bombed.
What's more important to you than not being bombed?
And that's the only thing you care about?
I care about not dying a lot, yeah
And you know that people die other ways than being bombed, right?
Now, put it all together.
Like not being able to afford healthcare?
Being shot by a terrorist with a gun who looks just like you?
Yeah, America does all of that, besides bombing
