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.

This American government and the fact americans voted for it's majority in congress is the best anti-american propaganda rivals could ever hope for.
LOL yes, use the Nazi child-sex platform to showcase Murica!
I guess this is a good time to remind people, if you are still using Xitter, you are a fucking idiot
You gotta admit... that's exactly how the world sees the us. Its apropos.
It's (kind of) accurately what we are until we shed the older generations and the deranged middle age'rs who vote for this madness and continue to support it despite the constant barrage of clinically insane things being done and said.
I wish you all the best with making that happen!
"Use X to counter anti American propaganda"?
- X exists to make Elon Musk feel like less of a loser
- X may in fact be the most effective showcasing of the worst America has to offer. See point 1.
Getting rid of Trump would go a long way to solving this problem. It obviously wouldn't fix things completely...but it would be a great place to start mending these relationships.
Trump is a symptom, not the cause. His death is going to be a momentary reprieve like his loss in 2020 was. I knew we were cooked when he got 75 million votes at the height of COVID in 2020.
Republicans and America in general have been like this for decades. Trump is the result of 50 years of right wing planning and propaganda on top of American selfishness.
I’m of the opinion when he’s gone not much will change and in fact it might enable more rightward slide.
The GOP will use him as an excuse. They’ll say “oh it was all Trump all along. He was an evil mastermind that had us all fooled and held us hostage with his MAGA loonies”
The left won’t have a figurehead as despicable as Trump to focus all their rage on since Trump makes JD Vance look sane to the average American simply because JD can form complete sentences.
Theil’s puppet takes over when he dies. How is Vance/Theil better? Adjacent, at best.
Best I can do is allocate 90% of the 'hostility' to Trump and his cabinet and 10% to the oligarchs. You're off the hook for now, right-wing media ecosystem, heritage foundation, and other christofascist nutjobs... But I'm watching you!
