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.

Is there a polymarket bet on who kicks the bucket first, Trump or Putin? Hard to say
putin has enoug plastic surgery and preservatives, like the permafrost. so trump is the likely one to go.
trumps children seem to be circling him like a vulture.
Such a ridiculous situation that 2 old bitter people are responsible for so much trouble in the world.
Putin, Trump, Xi, Modi, Netanyahu, and until recently Khamenei - they're all 70+, they don't understand modern world. And yet they rule some of the biggest and/or influential countries.
Victor Orban is gone at least. It's kind of amazing they just voted him out of office, like he was a problem, and so they got rid of them. I suspect the rest are going to need something a little more forceful though than the disapprovement of a populous
Why did you list Xi? He made China a global superpower, and nowadays China is even leading in some technological areas like Battery Technology. Putin and Trump are killing their countries, whereas Xi does the opposite.
Presumably the slumbering conflict with Taiwan and in the South China Sea, as well as his support for some of the previously listed names (like Putin).
Yeah I'm sure the people of China really love living under a dictatorship. But it's alright because batteries.
Polls do seem to say so, but I'm sure you know better
Oh yeah that seems like a great idea do you approve of our despotic leaders, yes or no, also what's your name?
Anonymous list surveys continue to show majorities . . . https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1032737
1 actually, trump is the useful idiot for putin. recently they loss some of thier edge with orbans loss, who was acting as intermediary for funding cpac and ben shapiro.
Those hamberders and old age will catch up to Trump any second now. He's already had a mini-stroke on national TV. Putin is 7 years younger and is health conscious to the point it was memed on, But unlike Trump, Putin seems to know he's in over his head and is looking to contain fallout from this invasion. Dr. William Spaniel thinks 'Putin is done' talk is overblown though acknowledges things don't look great at all for Putin in Ukraine or domestically.
