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.

Good morning American Neighbors. Have you classified me and mine as threats to your ~~world hegemony~~ National security yet?
please, just put us out of our fucking misery. PLEASE.
too busy keeping an eye on our own fifth column, and potential collaborators/quislings should things go "there" .
Considering Trump's reaction to retaliation against his own divine authority, is to flip the fuck out and escalate.
"HOW DARE YOU RESIST"
I wish you the very best. know that many, many, many of us consider you to be true friends and neighbors. please be there and sane should we manage to reverse this disaster. we will need you.
If you're Canadian, can you please come and burn down the White House again?
He's trying to fire all ATCs. Ukraine has shown how easy it is to turn a drone into a firebomb.
I'm about ready to ngl
Please marry me so I can get Canadian citizenship and escape this insane fascist hellhole, PLEASE
I know this is a joke but some points that should be made. that loophole got patched a long time ago. its not that simple. Married spouses can sponsor for PR. But the PR system works off a point system, and may not necessarily be granted PR. You have to have PR for several years. (I think its as high as 7) before you can apply for citizenship.
furthermore, Americans should know, That unless you rescind your American citizenship. (which costs a lot of money, they make it prohibitavely expensive). The United States does not recognize dual citizenship. They dont care if you're the King of Sweden. if you are an american citizen, that overrides all others. and they will consider you subject to their laws, juristiction, and prosecution. (and ask you be extradited if need be)
Its not a joke, I am 100% serious.
I am disabled and live off of SSDI.
Spent most of 2023 homeless.
Maybe I would only qualify for residency via marrying a Canadian, but if Trump cuts back SSDI, in addition to all the economic damage he's going to cause to the US economy, I will die starving, on the street.
As of right now, its still possible to recieve SSDI while living abroad.... but who knows what will happen.
Coming soon.
