Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

They're actually going to end up building that wall and paying for it eventually just to keep out the deluge of economic refugees.
Except growing your population, particularly a population of young professionals, is generally good for you industry and economy overall.
So, they're more likely going to open a big beautiful door to Spanish speaking young adults who want to leave.
Yeah if it's somehow not Poland'd by Mango Mussolini Mexico's gonna be making bank off all those immigrants.
Hell, they might offer Spanish lessons to those with valuable degrees.
Great to see for Mexico.
Crazy story inbound! Think it was 8th grade, early 80s, when our teacher was pointing out how corrupt Mexico's government was. She said 20% of the people owned 80% of the wealth. We kids were shocked at hearing of such inequality. Stunned. Who ever heard of such a vile government, to let their people be obviously fucked over.
Would we Americans not kill or die to have that today?! 1983 Mexico sounds like a fucking utopia compared to 2025 America. Imagine that.
We are very happy to see this in Mexico. We only hope for it to be sustainable. Mexican economy is not growing as fast as other developing countries', but the economic equality is going down. This is not terrible, since wealth is flowing to the poor. The extremely rich are still extremely rich, so, probably they aren't very happy, but they'll be okay.
Won't someone think about how all the poor billionaries and how they had to give up only a fraction of their wealth? /s
