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.

When will the world deal with Putin properly?
When his candidate elect causes a recession in the US, triggering a global recession, causing the energy market to retract, affecting his ability to pay his window cleaners, causing him to take a terrible fall out of one when attempting to clean them himself
What should they do?
Bomb the shit out of the russian military and enegy sector by flooding Ukraine with weapons.
What I think people over here actually will do, is - start patrolling the shorter, more critical cable and pipeline routes with sea drones - and if the drone operators spot a ship with a lowered anchor, summon a proper military vessel to do more complex procedures.
Like a missile.
One will surely want to keep the ship, to auction it off and cover repair costs.
Send a bill to the governing body of the country where it's registered and add on a hefty service charge to cover labor/materials/cleanup.
Do tell us what "proper" handling of Putin would be.
Assassination.
That'd create a power vacuum, and we sure as hell don't want to risk someone worse taking his place.
The assassinations will continue until morale improves.
Would be pretty damn hard to do that
Well tbh Medvedev has this suicidal tendency to start a nuclear WW3. He can't wait to press that damn red button. He is the likely successor and as much as I despise putin, at least he's "just" a bloodthirsty sociopath who doesn't want to unalive himself
The first rule of history is that it can always get worse.
Maybe it doesn't. Or maybe somebody starts a nuclear war to avenge Putin.
