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.

Maybe.
To be clear this is an outlet for pro-Ukrainian propaganda with stories that have quite often never been verified or repeated. I get it, they're fighting a war for survival, but I still will take it with a grain of salt especially when it sounds unlikely.
Not maybe, Wang Yi literally said we cannot let Russia lose because the US will pivot to China. It's a not subtle way of saying if you guys keep talking about taking out China, we obviously won't help you.
The second paragraph added some important context, if you skimmed over it.
Except even the president of Taiwan has already said he is willing to negotiate a merger. And the KMT is gaining in popularity, the pro-China party. Why would an invasion even be in the cards? Oh wait, you think that because you don't actually know what's going on in Taiwan at all but keep speaking for us.
Lol. In 2025 your propaganda bot should be able to scan conversations better than this one.
Lol let me guess instead of fact checking me you'll tell me I can't speak English and hang up

Clearly, you can speak English quite well, just not understand it.
I actually can respond to this, for the real people reading. KMT isn't pro-China, just more confrontation averse with them. These are the guys that fought Mao, right? And, they lost the last election handily to the radical anti-Chinese candidate. Not sure WTF is up with the claim about the president.
But, we were never talking about Taiwan, and definitely not about the Uighur genocide.
You brought up the second paragraph. You brought up Taiwan. I'm just calling KMT pro-China to be aggressive with you. But your actually right, I am surprised you knew even that much.
Edit I accidentally hit send. Here's the merger talk

I mean to say knew that much about the kmt
Oh, the second paragraph of my comment, not the article. Kyiv Independent is questionable as a source, basically.
Sorry for calling you a bot.
Oh jeez my bad. Anyway I actually hope William lai negotiates with China. China is clearly trying to buy time now and drag out negotiations to let the KMT get more power. I'd rather William negotiate as I think he'll get a better deal.
