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.

American here, I think we should bring back expansionism and the world would be a better place if Canada, Mexico, and Greenland were all part of the US.
Fuck off, that attitude is the reason at least half the world hates your country
Also as a Canadian, I'd die fighting before I became American
That's why so many people are desperate to move here to provide a better life for their families?
Careful, you just might 😎
Who's desperate to move there? The people from wartorn, corrupt and/or oppressive countries who just want to move anywhere else?
Or do you mean rich people from other wealthy nations who won't immediately go bankrupt from your broken healthcare system, and only want to move to take advantage of your completely broken tax system.
If it's the former, I can't see that dream lasting much longer, what with the camps you guys aren't wasting any time setting up.
If it's the latter, you can keep them.
Man, the delusions you people keep telling yourself is just so characteristic of those who are permanently redditbrained.
The real world is not what gets upvoted on forums, buddy.
lol, alright.
You alright? Your comment history looks like a mental breakdown.
Canadian here. Fuck yourself.
Stay mad, eh.
Stay out of my country.
I can come over whenever I want.
You can fuck yourself.
😂
I'd report you, but I know the biased mods aren't going to care.
They pick and choose who to enforce the rules for.
You created this account ten hours ago. You're just some loser troll stirring up shit. Fuck. Your. Self.
Get to fuck with your neo-imperialist attitudes.
I hope you suffer under Trump, if this is really how you think.
We gotta stop feeding the trolls
Hey man, when your nation is as appealing to the rest of the world as the US is (when you have countless migrants desperate to move there), then you can take that attitude.
Until then, we're just giving the people what they want. More America.
You never see immigrants clamoring to move to Greenland, and there's a good reason for that.
It just so happens that I live in the UK, which does in fact have quite a bit of immigration (played up by our far right, which is funnily enough funded by your far right. Talk about interfering in other countries' politics.).
I don't believe the people of Greenland want that. https://www.reuters.com/world/poll-shows-85-greenlanders-do-not-want-be-part-us-2025-01-29/
Neither do Canadians. https://leger360.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Report-OMNI-CAN-16811-123-51st-state.pdf
Mexico also told you lot to fuck off. https://mexiconewsdaily.com/politics/mexico-us-state-trump-suggests-trade-deficit/
Irrelevant.
American here.
I think Canada or Mexico should carve up the us and make it part of them. I also think they should leave the welfare states in the south to fend for themselves as the remainder of the us
Eww. Why would you want more mexico? Do you like cartels or something?
