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.

I thought the trumptards were all about no new wars? I suppose they've kept sucking trumps ass even as he twists randomly to new directions?
Hypocrisy does not bother these people. In fact, it's a good thing to them if it annoys you. They believe in nothing.
They're all about whatever Trump says. If he contradicts himself half way through a sentence they'll charge their minds half way through his sentence.
Someone (the oil companies) greased his palm enough to convince him it was a good idea. "Follow the money" has never been so true or obvious.
Capitalists will destroy the world to increase their stock prices.
He also URGENTLY needs a new warring enemy, someone who fights back.
This to completely overshadow the interest in his epstein-misdeeds (investigators are closing in on connections between his child-pageant-business and the epstein files) And he needs to be able to cover the economic woes with the "It's war!" excuse.
Trying to hide official economic numbers and sing praise on a pink cloud only works right up until the full populace realizes their finances are not getting better at all and everything is getting steep price hike upon steep price hike.
I hope you’re right but I feel like he will never face any repercussions for being a pedophile at this point. None of them will.
Venezuela's oil fields have been on America's radar long before Trump. The only things Trump is thinking of is crap like a ballroom and renaming the Kennedy Center.
As you say, the rest has been jammed in his brain.
Excuse me – it’s a special operation – thank you very much.
They’re just about whatever he says at the moment and will do mental gymnastics to justify it.
They are all about what herr leader said in the last 24 hours.
