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.

Everything in this paragraph also applies to Ukraine. Stop pretending their war crimes don't exist, and if you believe they don't, expand your media consumption so you actually see truthful reporting.
The rest of your fearmongering brainwashed nonsense shows you have no objective media consumption. You are fully subject to whatever your corporate owners want you to believe, and you happily believe it.
Here's a hint: EVIL DOES NOT EXIST, AND PEOPLE DO NOT DO THINGS JUST TO BE EVIL.
Why is Russia invading Ukraine?
Why does the entirety of the corporate world back Ukraine?
Why is the fact Ukraine has been sending children to die in the front lines against their and their parent's will just not come up in these discussions?
Why do none of you people question anything your governments tell you?
I get it, you've been brainwashed for decades that Russia is magically Nazi Germany (despite their government and economy just being the United States') and that they want to exterminate all [[insert whoever is getting a new starbucks here]]. And they're bad, but they're no worse than the US. They're no worse than Hungary. They're no worse than Turkey. They're no worse than Ukraine or Israel.
They're all the same flavor of fascist. This is just fascist infighting to see which fascist gets monetary control of land. Not people, the people don't enter into the equation. Ukraine doesn't have a people anymore, an entire generation exterminated because death was better than paying taxes to Putin.
3 day old account spreading Russian propaganda, how original
That's the brainwashing I'm talking about. Nothing I've said is propaganda, and nothing I've stated is being stated by Russia.
You people are as bad as zionists, anything that even suggests your holy land might not be heaven incarnate and your brain shuts down.
